A tidal wave may sweep over a land. wash down its buildings. and change the face of the country. but by and by the sun and time will do its work. the land will become dry and be restored. earthquakes may shake down a city and leave yawning fissures everywhere. but after a while rehabilitation will do its work. and the effect of the earthquake will be no more. famine. gaunt and hungry. may hover for years above a fruitful land. but by and by years of plenty will come. and the nation will still live and prosper. but when the ideals and standards of the people are gone they are gone forever. and destiny has decreed that nation shall cease. and it matters not the size of her standing army or the number of her warships on the sea. "Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting" is written high upon the wall. Mr. Chairman. I object to promiscuous immigration. because it lowers our national standards. First. It lowers our standards as to labor.
