I come to another question. which is the main eae. to which I desire to callthe attention of this House. because all these other subjects. in my judgment. lead to this one. and which I shall discuss very briefly. That is the protection this Government awes to the labor of the country. I plant myself upon the broad. ground of protection to American labor. and I challenge the humianitarians and the sentimentalists to reconcile their views of the right of unrestricted Chinese.immigration with their ideas of a protective. tariff if they can. Let them. if they can. go to their laborers and. convince them that unrestricted Chinese immigration is right and still advocate the protection of American labor. Iannounce as afact that the wages of a Chinese laborer in China is from three to five dollars a month. That is the total sum which he receives.
