More than this. as their skill is not pauperized along with their bodies. the manulieturers who want them for their skill would seck then out and bring them here and would soon restore their famished bodies with our cheap food in our unprotected granaries. This is the only land where freetrade food and freetrade labor can meet on an equal footing and to mutual advantage. and they will meet whenever labor wants better and cheaper food than it can get elsewhere. It is only nine days journey to Europe. and steerage passage is only $30. In a months time the manufacturer can get back the advance he may make to the pauper laborer for passagemoney out of his labor and skill. The laborer can be secured for a year or two or three. under contract. by which a part of his pay is kept back as security fbr his serving out the full time. With such facilities to secure skilled labor at low prices it will require an immense strain on his national pride and patriotism. and on his affiection for the American highfed and wellclad laborer to prevent the manutacturer from taking the European pauper under the secure and benign protection of a high American tarif.
