There is no people in the world with such an inventive genius as our own. and none so quick to comprehend and understand complicated machinery and operate the same. A large proportion. I think some 38 per cent.. of our operatives in the cotton and woo!en factories are foreign born or have fbreign parentage. Now. if they have equally as good machinery in these industries in England as here. what reason is there for supposing that the English operative can produce more in our country than when he is in his native land ? Boots and shoes ready made by machinery are as cheap here as in London.
