We have already made great progress under adverse conditions. and now that we have reached a point where. in my opinion. a new order of things is to obtain and a different sentiment with respect to our future policy is to prevail. the Southern people are engaged in making preparations for the development of the wonderful resources of that section. The adoption of the pending measure. together with the passage of the bill authorizing the construction of the Nicaragua Canal. will do more to accelerate the movement along industrial lines in the South than any and all other measures with which we may be called upon to deal during the present decade. With this legislation upon our statute books we can confidently invite immigrants from every section of the United States. feeling as we do that we can offer more inducements to those who desire to engage in industrial development than any other section of the country.. In many sections of the South we have unlimited water power. climate that is unexcelled. and many other natural advantages calculated to make that section a desirable location for those who seek new fields of enterprise. It is insisted by a number of Senators that we ought not to adopt the bill in its present form. but I regret exceedingly that my distinguished friends do not offer us something in the shape of a substitute.
