If after the report of the Committee on Reclassification is made and it is found that there is under a Democratic administration a lot of useless and worthless employees. as described by the gentleman from Texas. then as far as we have authority and power we shall change all that. The Republican party. I will tell the gentleman from Texas. will pass a good immigration law that will protect the American laborer against the cheap and undesirable foreign laborer. We shall not interest ourselves so much for international labor as for national labor. We will also enact a tariff law that will protect American workmen against the pauper labor of the world. We will stand for justice every day and every hour between capitnl and labor. Mr.
