Sir. the German. the Frenchman. the Scot. the Irishman. the Spaniard. the Hungarian. the Swede. the Italian. and all the other nationalities each and all come under this ban. and why? Because. in addition to the tariff laws of the United States. American labor demands that its elevated station be protected by these laws. that there shall be no contract labor. no pauper labor. no inzursions of the mighty hordes of the East. Why. then. will you at one fell stroke. by the incorporation of the Philippine Islands into the United States. bring in 10.000.000 Filipinos. some of them educated. some of them practical workmen. but others below the .lowest grade of labor that has ever been found in the United States? Yet. sir. you would bring them in if you agree to the proposition made by this Federal party.
