RIGRT, AND l KNOW LAM IN THIS IN
STANCE, IF NEVER GET ANOTHER VOTE IN
MY LIFE l Ii VOTE FOR THIS BILL Sup
pose Lucas does 60 down! : that's of lit
lie consequence. The welfare of those
honest thousands is greater than the rise
and fall Of any living man.
An! but they say we can make per
manent law before the session closes to
protect these people, Yes, and when
that permanent law does come You'll see
tHese loboles crowded. Why not pass
law now and discharge your duty to
these noble sons Of North Ual olina Here
are these factory men and their hired
attorneys. Why are they on our shores
to day canning oysters? Because they
nave exhausted the waters Of Eastern
Maryland and Virginia They have
brought their apparatus, their fixtures
aCf set up their factory here, but they
are net giving employment to orr peo-
pie. Foreign labor is chiefly used, na-
tlves OF Scan iinavia, Bohemia aud other
countries do the work. Yes sir, if |
thought it would blot out every oyster
canning factory in those towns before
l would suffer these people who have
been SO beaten down to continue in their
poor condition | would let them 60.
Mr.. Daniels, Republican Representa-
tive from Dare, voted for the bill, and
here the representatives from all
that oyster section, from Beaufort, Tyr
rell, Washington aud other counties
have given the bill their hearty support
Is that not proof that the bill is right
and dredging wrong? Why, Mr.. Presi-
dent, have been out with the dredgers
and if you ask them they will tell you
1t Is wrong, but they make their excuse
by saying that others are doing it and
they must get their share. Virginia
found out it was wrong, but alas, toe
late; Maryland found out it was wrong,
bnt too late, These people in the East
{ ern counties are helpless. Without oul
, assistance they are in the clutches of the
money powers. We ought to do some
thing for them.
Two years ago I favored such law
but as soon as it became known tha
such an act was contemplated the lobbie
: were filled. Oh, they cried, don
!, pass that bill. Make strict law ClyIl
+ ing the territory of the tongers ant
: dredgers. They wouldn't do away will
t dredging and the bill they passed wa
not worth the paper it was written on
n If this business goes on for two year
there can't be canning establishment
: run in seven years. When that two year
|. bas passed then these Gamers will say
} "We have demolished your lands no
e you can look out for yourselves Vine
D that time comes it will take $3.50, 900 al
4. uually to protect the beds and keep theI
q up. / know what | am talking abou

III grandest people on this earth. TT
n grand old ocean near which they liz

as alrous, and | ask you, in the name
It, heaven, to stand by these men and n
O. the representatives Of these canneries.
Id The Government has said that it cal

Sc Lieutenant Winslow says he cannot

7ill formation he could. ''Shall this body {

lall himself as willing to vote for gene
in law prohibiting dredging. There
