That stands here as a shining example of annexation under the resolution of the gentleman who repeats it on the subject of Cuba. Let me see what the gentleman on the 8th said on this subject: I am opposed to any concessions to Cuba unless they are accompanied by a cordial invitation to Cuba to become a part of the United States. By this I understand the gentleman to say that unless this bill bears an invitation to Cuba to enter the Union. he will vote against it. and vote against the protection to American labor that will come in some measure if our immigration and contractlabor laws are adopted by Cuba. The gentleman can not construe this bill into anything but an invitation to Cuba to agree with us. The gentleman would admit her and all her conditions--race. climatic. and laborby a wholesale process. but would not grant a slight concession to her and a full concession to our labor.
