I am as firm a believer as ever in the soundness of the fundamental tenets of the Republican Party. but I have never contended that it Is free from error. and I question the eligibility to membersip in this [-ouse of any gentleman who believes that his party is so constituted. If I were asked to point out what I regard as an error that my party committed while It was in power. I should reply that It was its failure. when erecting a tariff wall to restrict the coming In of the products of foreign labor. to also erect an immigration wall to restrict the coming In of the man on the Job. as the gentleman from Washington would express It. Mr. Chairman. the jewels of oratory have been quite abundant In this debate. but the jewels of consistency have been rare indeed.
