Mr. Edmunds has watched with great
interest and some concern the great
strike which recently ended, and its
effect upon industry and labor. He de-
plores the deInagogueic utterances Of
the agitators in and out of congress and
the bad effect they have had upon the
mind Of the worllingman. l had told
him of an incident that came under my
observation on the day following the
day upon which Senator Voorhees,
made his speech in favor Of the income
tax. On that day l happened along
Nassau street. in New York. and near
the subtTeasury saw several men ct
work repairing the pavement. They
were discussing the income tax and the
speech. At the end Of warm discus
sion one OF them turned and facing the
treasury building, shook his fist ~ IL

First he emphatically voiced his firm
faith in the republican party and in
the necessity OF immediate legislation
looking to a restriction of immigration
end modification of the laws regu-
lating suffrage. A republican of re-
publicans, Mr.. Edmunds looks to his
party to perform these duties which he
thinks are absolutely necessary. In
speaking of the republican loss of
power, he said:
Naturally the very large proportion
Of naturalized citizens gravitate toward
the de1nocrotic party; first, because the
name is the one which they in their
own homes associated with a govern
ment by the people, and which has
been misused and misapplied too often
for them to have any rightful idea OF
its meaning; second, because the for
eigner, for reasons not necessary for
me to state, when he reaches this cOun-
try. falls into the hands or the demo
cratic machine. SO to speak; and those
naturalized have not been here long
enough TO have acquired property and
become acquainted with our republican
ideas. and to some extent with the rea,
nature OF our institutions and TO find
out what real liberty is. For this rea-
son socialism has some s1lQS:t hold up
on the masses of the people; but 1
