Arizona republican., 1903-01-27

hour down in the mines in that town. as shown by the pay rolls of the opera tors. I think it is pretty safe to as sume taking the discrepancy in the count of the Indians as a basis, that the census report ought to have been at least 2O,OOO more instead of what i5 recorded"
 To print the speech in full would call for the entire space in a single issue of The Republican, and we can do little more than give here the tenor of the magnificent address. and we close with this tribute to the citizenship of the southwest:
 ''Mr. President, in this connection I want to call attention to something else in favor of these people. So much has been said to their Encouragement that it is pleasant for me to be abe to point to the records and statistics to show something that is to their credit.
 ''I called attention to the growth of their postoffices, to the growth of their internal revenue receipts, to their land entries. and 10 other things that showed that there was great industrial devel- Opment going on. that there was great increase in population, and now l want to call attention to something that reflects as to their morals-some- thing which I take from the finance reports for 1890, 1S9ly and 1892 which show that in New Mexico fer the year 1890 there were seven tobacco factories and that there was an increase of the number to 1900. when there were six teen. At the same time 1t is shown that in 1890 there were in New Mexico five distilleries, and that there has been a gradual decrease until at this time there are but two. In 1880 there were seven breweries, and in 1900 there had been such a decrease that there were but two.
 50, Mir. President, while they have been growing in population. while they have multiplied their industries, while they have been diving down into the mines. bringing up rich mineral. and adding to the wealth of the country. while they have added to the prosperity of the territory, while they have been on the frontier, as the senator from Maine (Mr. Hale) suggested. yet at the same time. while building their churches and building their school houses, they have been aboIishing and dispensing with their distilleries and hreweries; and some of the senators who represent states on this floor can rot show as good d record in these respects; and TO senator can show q better as to his state.
 Practically the same has been the result in Arizona. In 1S3O they had ten breweries; now they have only three. Figures are so tedious that | dislike to stop to deal with them. But, Mir. President. l have said enough and l have detained the senate much longer than I intended when ' com menced. It was my purpose to show why 1t is that I am making this con tention, net in accord, perhaps, with the majority of my party, in regard to this question. l have no election about it.
 "I supposed + was a settled proposi- tion when we came out of the national republican convention of 1900 that tho republican party of this country pro- posed to do what we had promised 70 do to bring these territories into state- hood. l supposed we had so settled it. l have been in favor of the unqualified admission Of these territories from that ! time until now. I helped draft that ! declaration, and I helped to secure it's adoption. Without new light I could not repUdiate it now, and, MT Presi- dent, I have had TO light except only that which has strengthened me in the belief that l was right then and that l am in the right now"
