That nation that forgets the wellbeing of its toiling masses forgets its God. and its inevitable destiny will be a dwelling place in the archives of the dead nationalities. The sacrifice of humanity to wealth is an inscription upon the tombs of the dead republics. Wholesale immigration into this country means cheap labor and. consequently. larger dividends to the trusts and great corporations. It may multiply the millions of the millionaires. but at the same time I wouldhave you remember that it brings poverty to the home of the American laborer. Our chief consideration in legislation should be for the common peoplethe trusts and corporations are strong enough to care for their own welfare. Indeed. they have grown so powerful as to challenge the authority of the nation to control them. But. returning to the question before the House. I want to say. in conclusion. that there should be a decided limitation placed upon the number of immigrants admitted into the United States. Our own increase is sufficient to settle our vast domain as rapidly as the wellbeing of the nation will permit. Let our first duty be to provide homes for our own children.
