We see our fa.ctories and workshops. and farms abandoned. Our production is curtailed to a point that is indeed alarming. And yet it is sought here on the part of some to open the floodgates of this glorious Republic to immigration. and perchance to bring to our shores. within the next 12 months not less than 2.000.000 aliens to come in direct Cmnpetition with American labor. -I say to you that this is no time to temporizo on this question. We should take it up from an American standpoint and not vote in order that our vote will be against some exservice man or in favor of him. but let us look to this question pfirely as anl American one and provide for the best interests of the American. people as a whole. Why. some Members have gone to the point of sayingand indeed I have gathered from their remarksthat they regard the United States as no larger than their congressional districts.
