The quickness with which communication can be sent to different parts of the world is bringing laborers everywhere into direct contact with employers. so that whenever the price of wages is depressed in one localit y immediately a demand for labor is found in another and without the intervention or the aid of any associations. political. benevolent. railroad. or otherwise. That agency is at work upon this very point at this very time. Even now. while the Senator was reading his diatribe before this body. the planters of Mississippi. as I know well. are in direct communication with the emigrant laborers who are in Kansas and in Indiana. and they look upon those bodies of laborers as more accessible sources of supply. from which laborers can be obtained on better terms and with more facility than either Alabama or Georgia. While these gentlemen are negotiating and plotting. the laborer and the planter face to face are talking .ith each other over their heads. and they have only to listen to the tickings of the telegraph to hear the deathwatch of their own departing schemes and opportunities. The Senator from Minnesota. confessing in advance the weakness of his case. endeavors to shield his failure behind the paltry complaint that his side had not a full and fair opportunity to be heard. -Such a charge in the face of the facts is only puerile and petulant.
