I am not prepared to dispute that statement in its entiretyI have only been In Texas. But suppose the statement is true. is that any reason why Republicans without further ceremony should move bodily into the enemys favorite country? If the unexpected should happen and we slould fail to capture either House or Senate and this law should remain upon the statute books until the end of the bloody struggle in Europe. then 60 days from that time we will seee 2.000.000 idle men in this country. cheap foreign goods will be invading this country as never before. our mills and factories will be closing and millions of the unemployed. the ragged and hungry. will again fill time highways and byways of this Nation as they did in the days under the Underwood tariff law before the war in Europe began. [Applause oil the Republican side.1 If that time comes. the people will demand what excuse a Republican had for voting for a law directly taxing the people while leaving our country defenseless against this destructive invasion by the products of foreign cheap pauper labor. They will demand to know why we gave support to a freetrade measure when it was perfectly apparent that this deluge of industrial ruin was certain to conic. On that day the people are going to look at things as they are. and lie will stand defenseless wh1o nmust explain why lie joined hands with the Democrats ill placing this law upon the statute books.
