Speech #690128020

I am inclined to close my eyes and I can see there this whole situation. On that platform above the audience I no longer see the orchestra. but I see all the people in the United States who are affected favorably by artificial legislation. I can see up there organized labor enjoying luxury and comfort. with good bank accounts and good building and loan accounts. helped by the immigration law and other laws passed by the Congress of the United States. I can see the people who hold railway certificates of stock that have advanced in value 50 per cent since their law was put into effect. I can see all the manufacturing plants of the Nation. both in the cities of the South and the cities of the North. flourishing and benefited by the tariff.
