It is "the great American trust." not the great American laborer. It is the great American campaign contributor. not the great American wageearner. that you are trying to take care of. and you.know it. Labor! What have you done for American labor on the Isthmus itself? Why. it is alien labor that is building the canal. and. by your own laws. building it under alien hours of labor. The gentleman calls the canal a "great American work." You are about to make it a great plaything for the enrichment of great plutocrats and trust magnates and unjust and unpatriotic extortioners. [Here the hammer fell.]
