But let me quote an eminent and learned freetrader against the distinguished chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Mr. Henry George. in an article on Chinese immigration. in one of our cyclopedias. says: To apply to the machinery and industrial methods which are in one country (America) the outgrowth of high wages. the cheap labor which in the other country (China) destroys the incentive to improvement may for the time result in large profits to those who make the combination. but if the effect be uldmately to reduce the general rate of wagesthe result in that countryis to cheek invention and lessen productive power. Mr. George is an authority in the freetrade camp. and justly so for he is a close studeit and a deep ihinker.
