South and Protection.

south is coming 10 ltS senses anu is |
in favor of protection. l am glad
that the great southern industries
are to receive this policy of Repub-
licanism which we have been preach
ing in this country for fifty odd
years. If 1t were in my power |
would protect the southern products
and the southern industries just the
same as would protect the northern
industries, BUT OBJECT TO THAT
METHOD AND MANNER OF LEGIS-
LATION WHICH ENABLES THEM
TO APPLY A DOCTRINE OF PRO-
lection IN THE CAUCUS AND
THE DOCTRINE OF TARIFF FOR
REVENUE IN THE OPEN SENATE
OF THE UNITED STATES. 1t en-
ables them in other words, to make
a sectional bill, which they have done
in this instance.
Let us take another illustration
| The immigration bill, as it is known |
to the people of the country. has
| passed the Congress of the United
States twice by overwhelming major
ity; it passed the last Congress by
overwhelming majority and was We
toed by the President. 1t went back
to the House and passed by very
large majority; came over to the Sen
ate and rested upon the calendaruor
many weeks. Some of the Republic
cans came to the conclusion that that
ought to have hearing so they made
efforts to get II up for considera
ton.
Now, il there are any working
men here tonight. you have been
hearing great deal the last few
weeks about an eight-hour day, but
unless, in my judgment, some form
of immigration Is passed, when this
great war ends you will not be dis
cussing an eight-hour day, but you
will be discussing the proposition of
whether you can get any wage at all
} or not upon which you can live.
Warns OF After War Effect.
when this war broke out $780,
900 workingmen left this country
: and entered the armies Of Europe.
= Every great war in Europe for the
Y last 100 years has been followed by
I tremendous immigration to this
country. When the soldier comes
home from the army, leaves the
D trench and the army. and returns
D home he will find old friendships
y broken, his home destroyed. and that
d restlessness of spirit will induce
: hundreds and millions Of them t.
come to the western country and t.
the great western republic and Il
- enter into competition with the Am
II erican wage Garner and to beat dow
- the wages of the American wag
~ Garner In addition, there will b.
other reasons. There Is now restin
y. upon Europe the belligerent nations
u, some 100000. 100000 of debt. b
W the time the war closes there may b
u s7O,0OO,O0O,00 or $10O,OOO,OOO
- 900. The working man OF thos
IN countries may not be able to analy2
y that great debt; they may not b
III able to understand just how niue
NC of it they will have to pay, but the
~ will fairly understand that that 81
y perhuman, incomprehensible NOR
gage is resting upon the energies
~ themselves, their children and the
III children's children for generation
~ to come. And they will want to con
90 over and it will drive hundreds
~ thousands of them to the Americ'
at' shore to enter into competition wi
American laborers. So we said, Ii
US HAVE THE PASSAGE OR
CONSIDERATION AND PASSAC
OF AN IMMIGRATION BILL. NO

Had this bill been considered

we would. the immigration bill wo
