Martinique and the Barbados. or wherever they may come from. will not be brought there as slaves and compelled to labor. but they will come with a contract which they will be very careful to have observed by those to whom they hire. There will be no driving of those men beyond their own wishes. because they will always have the liberty to quit. When the Senator undertakes to appeal to us for the alien labor. I think he had better look a little closer home and take this view into consideration: That is. the American laborers have to foot these bills. and if we are to enter upon a philanthropic. humanitarianoh. I do not know whatcanting policy of taking care of everybody else. and especially the colored peoples of the Tropics.
