THAT means that in order TO build

marine. the Democratic party would
If necessary, close every factory in
the United States and put every
laborer on the streets begging for
work or for bread or for soup Is
there a single American citizen who
can honestly say that he favors such
an un-American policy? The very
threat of establishing such a policy
would create another panic worse
than the Cleveland panic. But that
is not all of the Democratic scheme.
Democratic Foreign-Built Ships.
Their next proposition is that the
ships to make up a merchant marine
shall not be built by American CAPT
tai and American labor, but that they
shall be built by foreign capital and
foreign labor wherever there Is the
lowest plane of living and where
labor can be hired for the fewest
cents wage per day. That American
capital, instead Of employing Ameri-
can labor nd establishing here great
ship building industry, along with
our other great home industries,
shall go over the world looking for
foreign-built ships, and that when
such ships are found and bought that
then the American flag shall be hoist
ed above these ships, and that these
ships shall then be christened as the
ships of a Democratic American .mer-
chant marine. .l.-
Let every American citizen in
this audience who loves his country
and whose blood thrills with pride
at the sight of the American flag,
go with. me to New York and stand
at Ellis Island. and there see the
picture of what the Democratic party
proposes; if it shall ever, be brought
about. What is this picture? aI~

with the smoke stacks Of New
York and every other city in the
country standing silent, : and still,
labor tramping the streets, democrat
ization, hard times and depression
everywhere behind us, and with our
eyes turned toward the Old World,
what do we see? A Democratic mer-
chant marine coming up the Aharbor
of, New York, every vessel built out
Of foreign raw material, by foreign
capital and made BY foreign hands,
with every piece Of goods in the holds
Of those vessels manufactured by
foreign capital, in foreign factories,
and by foreign hands!o DlAo0@ ssios

made by foreign hands, no matter
