Speech #710109807

I just wanted to say that much this afternoon. I want to see every industry it my country prosper. I am not going during this session or at any other time vote to open the gates wide to the products of the cheap pauper labor of Europe. any more than I am going to vote to open the gates wide to unrestricted immigration. We have a very serious problem now in connection with imnmigration from the Philippine Islands. a problem which was discussed this morning by the Senator from Maryland and the Senator from Washington . We have another one caused by the running of Mexicans over the line into the United States. destroying American labor along the border line.
