Speech #620031866

I realize that that Is the argument made by the Senator from Idaho and others who agree with him. but I call his attention to the fact that lie is reading now to the Senate an argument against reciprocity based upon the fact tba conditions in the United States at the time the speech was delivered which he is reading were so much more prosperous. as proved by the immigration from Canada into the United States. whereas at the present time. as we all know. that particular condition is exactly reversed. and I am asking him whether that argument has any application at all at the present time.
