Mr. HILL, Of Defiance, hoped the resolution would
be adopted. He was surprised TO hear gentlemen
son that it would bring laborers into this country
in competition with those already here. He was in
favor Of opening the doors Of immigration to the
Germans and all others who would initiate their ex
amples in habits Of industry and enterprise. A
very large portion Of fhisPonstituents were Germans.

astonished tn hear gentlemen object to foreign
ers coming here. II had always been the poli-
cy o. the Democratic party, of which. he was
but an humble member, TO encourage immigra-
tion to our shores. 1t was that broad and lib
eraI policy which made America the land Of
the free and the homo Of the brave-which had
enabled us 10 out-vie every other Government that
ever existed in al those essential elements required

to find profitable employment In his section of the
State there were thousands Of acres Of uncutiyated
Wild lands where these hard working sons of toll
could open DIP new farms, and assist in developing
one Of the richest portions Of the State. There were

West millions Of acres awaiting the advent Of the
foreign emigrant and the hardy pioneer TO open uI
the soil Of the geua rays Of the sun, an area large
enough in extent for the abode Of moro than two
hundred millions Of free men, and he was in fayO
of following in the footsteps Of those whose policy
was TO SnOits competition in labor, in manufactures
In commerce and In everything else that tended Z
daveIopo the resources Of the country. He be
iieved IN the old adage, that competition was tn
