It is a propaganda paid for by the money exacted from the taxpayers of this country. preached from the pulpit. printed in the newspapers. and the newspapers paid to print it. by money taken from the taxpayers. unjustly spent. instigated by the very element that the gentleman from Texas is talking about. It is not true that there is a lack of employment. There is a scarcity of labor all over this country. and it can not be otherwise. More than a quarter of a million of our men have been killed or wounded. There has been no immigration to this country. there has been a great emigration from this country. in the past four years. there has been a greater demand for labor. there has been greater production in the country. and then gentlemen talk about a surplus of labor. It is folly. it is false. it is not true.
