Mr. Hull of Iowa, The foreigner has the
same right to buy here now that he would have
if you repealed our tariff.
Mr.. Byrd What we need is open doors
and an open commerce like, England has. She
is our agent for selling our cotton products
in foreign markets. We should become our
own agent. While England is finding market
for eleven or twelve millions of bales for us
we could, by adopting her policy, join hands
with her and find markets for twenty millions
Mr.. Favrot. The gentleman has got away
from the subject. The question is foreign
immigration. Now, the gentleman knows and

Mr.. Byrd. Do not argue. Just ask your
question.
Mr.. Favrot You know and know that you
give negro SO acres Of land and he will Gull
tivate, maybe, acres Of it. You give an
italian SO acres Of land and that entire SO
acres will produce something Now, does not
that add to the productive capacity of the
country and add to the wealth Of the coun-

Mr.. Byrd. But when you take the man who

man could live on and support his family de-

petition with a man who does not believe in
any Of the essentials of American society, who
substitutes the voodoo doctor for the physi-
clan, who believes not in Sunday schools and
churches, who does not comprehend the neces-
sity Of education for his children nor the
obligation that he owes to society, then you are
reducing him to plane Of the most miserable
wretches of Gods creation.
Mr.. Favrot. Oh, no ). you are mistaken about
that.
Mr.. Byrd. know we'll Of what speak
have witnessed the degradation of certain Of
this foreign element in my own section, who
prefer hut to a home, who believe not in
the American idea of home comforts who pre-
fer monkey and an organ to piano, who
pack their children away like sardines in their
crowded huts. In other words, most of them
live life of ute rdegradation, and am not
one to make the honest yeomanry Of my Sec

Mr.. Favrot. I want to correct the gentle
man. The italian in my country sends his
children to school, and he will walk many miles
to do it, and the next generation Of Italians
are as good Americans as the gentleman from

Can we not at once see from this table that
the decaying nations Of Europe are emptying
their jails and pauper houses upon our shores,
and can we not further see that the best blood
of Europe is rapidly ceasing to flow this way?
There was time in our history when two
thirds of our immigrants came from people
Of our own blood in western Europe Now,
they come slowly, because they fear the evils
certain to follow in the wake Of this mael-
strom of pauperized humanity.
There is one thing I would like to impress
upon some Of the gentlemen who have dis
cussed this question, and that is, that there is
such thing as too much labor. If there
should be sent to the South as many foreign
laborers as some gentlemen think we need, the
very next cotton crop would be twenty mil
lions of bales, and the price therefor would
Immediately decrease to 5 cents per pound.
It is useless to discuss the evils that would
necessarily follow. We are receiving profit
able price today for the great Southern sta
pie, because of the worlds demand for the
same Upon the price of the staple largely
depends Southern prosperity, and whenever
we increase the crop to an amount greater
than the worlds consumption the former
hardships Of that section will return again.
There is practically no limit to cotton pro-
duction. Millions of acres Of our most fruit
full lands have never been touched by the
plowshare. In order to keep down overproduc-
ton and, consequently, depreciation in price,
the farmers in recent years have held many
conventions for the avowed purpose of reduc-
ing the production. [ again assert that [ can
conceive Of no calamity more dangerous to the
well-being Of the South than the importation
of cheap labor into that section.
I want to make a little argument on this
point. So long as we are separated by the
wall of protection from foreign markets, on
which We depend for the consumption Of two
thirds of our cotton, just so long will there
be such thing as overproduction Whenever
we have access to the 500000,00O Of half
naked people of the Orient and South Amer
lea, who want our products, then you may
come around and We will reason together about
increasing production in the South.
Mr.. Hall of Iowa. wanted to know, if we
were able to manufacture all the cotton in the
world, wherein the breaking down of the wall
of protection would create greater consump-
ton here.
Mr. Byrd. That is something it seems you
Republicans can never understand. You be-
lieve the United States is all the world. You
forget the six hundred millions to the south
and west of us, who are crying for American
cotton Goods Now what T want &c to onnr

the Constitution provides that all elec-

the Constitution, which provides for

s@ The answer to this claim by the up
