Speaker. it is not simply a question of the lowering of wages. it is not simply that. it is a question of driving out of employment millions of our own people and leaving them without any wage at all by this cruel. relentless. merciless competition. Have any of you gentlemen ever tried. in thought. to place yourselves in the position of an American citizen. industrious. having a family. loving that family. who knows that they eat. day by day. as he labors. and that when he is out of employment there is no comfort in his home? Can you enter into his feelings as he leaves his home in the morning to go out into the competition which is thrust upon him by this undesirable immigration. seeking for a place to work. begging. not for aims. but for a place where he may labor? Have you tried to follow him and his thought as he goes from man to man. meeting only denial everywhereeverywhere told there is no demand for labor. that the places are all filled. that the seekers are far more numerous than the places? Ah. gentlemen. what a dreadful condition is that in which to place our countrymen.
