The menacing influences to stable government has always come from the unemployed. the poor. that can not have comfort in their homes. It is a momentous question for us how we will care for our labor. how we will keep it employed. how we will secure a remunerative wage for it. That Is important. gentlemen. and you men who are insisting upon throwing wide open the doors to immigration. who are insisting that all classes of persons. without restriction. shall come here. are adding to the difficulties of the problem and making it more a peril to this Government. Of all governments on earth we will be the least able to maintain ourselves when want comes into the homes of the majority of our people. There are countries where there are great standing armiesin Germany. in France. in all the States of Europe. and if there is discontent or crime which comes from poverty in the home it can be stiffed by the bayonets of the standing army.
