I do not object tltat his suit of clothes was. as he boasts. purchased in Canada for thirty dollars. but I do protest against ls objection that a like suit in this country would cost fifty dollars. If so. the twenty dollars difference goes to the American woolgrower. to the working people at homesuch as those who in my own district made the suit which I have on. to tle Anierican tailors and sewingwomen. to whom I am glalt to Day better wages than they can eari in other lands. 0. no! This is the old siret song. "Buy at the cheapest market." where pauper labor prnduces. and close the workshops at honme. Did I say close thei? Tlht is half oie already.
