Mr. Chairman. the spirit of rapacious greed that would sap the foundations of our political. social. and industrial fabric to add materially to their wellfilled treasury. It is the men and corporAtions that would withdraw their capital from our industries and invest them in factories and industries in oriental countries. where they could utilize pauper contract labor. and with the cheap production of their labor take the markets of the world. and thus deprive this country of its export trade and throw our people out of employment except in the production of such articles only as would be necessary for our home consumption. It is these. sir. that would stop the progress of our industrial growth. put out the fires in our furnaces. add millions to the army of the unempl6yed. and tax the people for the money to carry out their unholy and treasonable purposes. They want standing armies. they want empire and aggression.
