That is a very proper question of the Senator from Alabama. and one deserving an answer. In reply I will ask the Senator a question: How long would the pauper labor of which he speaks remain in the United States of America occupied in a manufacturing establishment. while upon the opposite side of the street was a concern employing American labor. without demanding the same price that is paid to American labor? There is not an instance of that kind. Even the Belgians imported four weeks ago into South Jersey and employed in the glass factories are today demanding and receiving exactly what the men were receiving who were turned out.
