I saw. under the leadership of the opposition. the worst panic that ever cursed a country burst upon America. when a few eastern finan. clers raked tip millions. That was in 1920 and 1921. and what happened? In addition to destroying property values by the billions. it drove 7.000.000 working men and women out of employment. What are you doing with unrestricted immigration? You are bringing in a horde of foreign laborers to work in competition with these already here. You are swelling the army of wage earners in America. and when another disturbance comes. instead of there being enough work to keep these employed. more wilt be turned out or working for wages that will make them eke out a miserable existence.
