It was proclaimed on every stump. One party proposed one remedy. another party proposed another remedy. but there was no doubt that those unemployed were here. Every immigrant who comes into this country is one more addition to the ranks of the unemployed. When all our people are employed. then we can with safety cease to restrict immigration. but while there are unemployed Americans in this country it seems to me that that amendment on which the House insists. and which if voted down here means the ultimate defeat of the bill. is an amendment that strikes at the relief of a great evil. It is only a partial relief. but still it is some relief in these bad times to take from the unemployed of our great States this eternal competition of a lower kind of labor.
