This would drag labor down to the European statndard. a result certainly no lover of American institutions would desire to see. Labor. sir. would thus be so degraded that all white labor would be driven from the field of competition. and the thousands who now annually cone to our country front Europe to improve their condition.would do equaly well to remain at aome. The den d would be limited to Chinese labor. and in place of the intelligent. progressive population that now comes to our country. we would be overrun by a swarm of heathen Mongolians. It is not true. however. that the low price paid the Chinaman causes a low price in the products of his labor. It is the capitalist who makes by the change.
