The Senator from Indiana stood here a few days ago and read speech after speech of the President of the United States in which he had promised the American people in the main a reduction upon these tariff schedules. Why are not the Senators who are controlling this legislation as desirous and solicitous for maintaining the integrity of a Presidents promise which had been written into a thousand newspapers. which had been written into his public address in this Chamber on the 4th day of March. and about which there can be no quibble. instead of insisting here about promises of which the Senate. so far as I know. has no knowledge direct from the President? There is in the Presidents message. however. a discussion as to the danger of allowing oriental immigration into this country. and pursuing that same line I. for one. am opposed to allowing the product of ofiental labor to come into this country as against that of the American workingman.
