There is a manifest intention on the
part Of the republican leaders to ring
in an immigration issue on an unsus-
pecting public between now and the
next presidential election. II has of
late years been becoming increasingly
apparent that one of the things pro-
lection does not protect is the working
class. About everything coming into
the country has to pay a tax except for
eign w~orkingmen: they come in free to
work for next to nothing and take
bread from the mouths of American
laborers and their families. The Ameri-
can laborer is finding this out very ra-
pidly, and so the republican party, in
it's role of labor's alleged friend, is, get
ting ready to pretend to tax foreign la
borers along with other importations.
If it were supposed that the republi-
cans would actually levy a tax that
would make it more difficult for their
friends, the rich manufacturers, to OBJ
tain cheap foreigners TO take the places
of dissatisfied Americans, IL might be
worth while TO discuss the economic
question, whether it is good policy to
keep able. bodied men out of the coun-
try while hundreds of millions of acres
of land lie waiting for development,
and TO consider if IL might not be better
TO remedy the difficulty by ~rearranging
economic conditions SO that the sur
plus labor of the country would go to
develop the idle lands, instead of
herding in cities, while thousands
of farms are annually abandoned to
the weeds. such discussion. however,
would be idle, for the republican lead
ers have no intention of doing o
than 10 stir mp an interest among the
laboring class in a scheme for restrict
ing immigration. and by this mean To
pad out the tariff issue which has been
worn rather thin in recent years by
| the memorable logic of facts.
Even were the remedy they pretend
TO propose for the overcrowding of the
labor market a feasible and proper one,
their scheming should deceive no one.
| The American w~orkingmen ought by
this time to understand that of all
| political quackery and charlatanism
the republican party is the school and
institute. IL has existed by imposition
upon a credulous public for the last
ten years and, IL IL continues To exist
ten years longer, il will be by the same
means. Its tariff has become a sham:
its zeal for the interests of labor has
I always been n sham: its alleged pur
pose to protect those interests will
prove a still greater sham.
The tariff is n protection that does
not protect: the immigration restriction
scheme will be protection that will not
protect, that could not protect and that
was never meant to protect.
