Session #56 · 1899–1901

Speech #560006570

You stand for the great banking institutions and the great corporations that fill your political pockets and the coffers of your party as against the masses. Look at the Hepburn letter. which came out here within the last ten days. You say you are in favor of protecting American labor. and today you are engaged in a scheme to incorporate with the inhabitants of this country over 12.000.000 pauper laborers to compete with American labor. In 1888 and 1892 and in 1896 you said you were the friends of bimetallism and an enlarged volume of money. and yet you stand in this Chamber today without a blush or an excuse in favor of the single gold standard. Where is your boasted patriotism. your boasted intelligence. your boasted policies for the benefit of the country?
