I am not Unconscious of the fact that many of my Republican brethren are prone to consider that triumph. not as a repudiation (as it was) of unsound finance. but as an indorsement of plutocracy. as an indorsement of monopoly. as an indorsement of everything that distrusts the conscience and the common sense of the plain people. I feel deeply on this subject. I believe I understand the sensibilities of the foreignborn voters in the United States. This bill is a blow at the Polish immigration. which has as much right to the fruits of liberty as any other nation upon the face of the earth. It is an indirect reflection upon the German element. which gave us to a very large extent our splendid majorities in the last election. I will not speak of the particular nation from which my forefathers came. for fear I maybe considered as animated in this address by individual prejudice.
