Chairman. why prohibit the importation of the products of foreign labor and yet allow the foreign laborer to come here duty free? Why let him come by the thousands and millions to compete with our labor on our own soil. and lower its wages in every field and factory .and mine. and yet deprive our labor of the benefits of cheaper living and lower prices. which would result from opening to it the markets of the world? The labor of this country has no protection. even under -our protective tariff. against the competition of the cheap pauper labor .of all the world. It must meet that at the very threshold of its own home. The tariff protects home commodities. but not home men.
