President. in levying that tax it may be so levied in a discriminating way as to benefit home manufacturers and home industries and home labor as against foreign manufacturers and foreign industries and foreign labor. I believe in that. But how sincere is the Republican party when they advocate this doctrine? There is not a day that passes over our heads when foreign contract labor is not brought into this country in direct violation of our statute. Your mills in New England are full of foreign contract laborers. brought here in violation of the statute of the United States. They have pushed your native population out of their original occupation. Your people are congregating from the farms into the cities and little villages.
