I noticed that while the railitary appropriation bill was before the House the gentleman called attention to the fact that we pity a great deal iore for certain thhigs in this country than is paid for similar things iu Englad. Does not the gentleman know that we pay more to mechanics and laborers of all grades than they receive in other counbrlies? It is one of our proudest hoasts that lahr is better rewarded in this country than in the despotic countries of Eropo. This is one of the principal things that draw immigration to our shores. and I hope that whatever argumont the geuclemin may make in regard to these matters he will not contend that labor in this country should be put on a level as to pay with lalor in Great Britain and Europe.
