I am not talking about that. but I may talk about it presently if my time holds out. in spite of all these interruptions. Mr. Chairman. a great deal has been said on this floor about "pauper labor" and about the workingmen of New Englandof Massachusetts. for instancebeing unable to compete with it. Sir. I scorn that argument. My people can compete with the labor of any part of the world if they have a free field. Let me give yon an instance in our boot and shoe industry which will prove that. A few years ago one of the great inventors of the State of Massachusetts. one of the makers of those magnificent automatic machines that play so great a part in the manufactures of our day. invented and took out letters patent all over the world for sewing and heeling machines which turned out the handsomest boots and shoes that can be made.
