In every department of industrial life where there is an organization. that organization. speaking for the constituency represented by it. has asked for this legislation. That includes the "ederation of Labor. the Farmers Union. and the National Grange. and all like organizations. Another reason why I shall vote in favor of this legislation is that time after tiite oin this floor Democrats have said that the labor of this country was not protected by high tariff because pauper labor was brought in from Europe friom thne to time to compete with the honest. skilled labor of America. I believed there was truth in that )roposition. and I believe that there ought to be some legislation in behalf of the great industrial workers of this country to. protect thiem against the cheap pauper labor of Europe.
