They are thus driven to the concession that wageworkers in this country are in no better condition in that regard than in freetrade England or protected Germany. The truth is. the world is the labor market. The ma goes and comes as he pleases. With our constant communication every week. so to speak. with the overpopulated countries of Europe. with immigration free. wageworkers will come here whenever they find their condition can be bettered. and vice versa. Labor having a commodity to sell. the laborer sells it on a freetrade basis. he sells it in competition with the labor of the civilized world. and at the lowest price this competition will impose upon him. He has no protection whatever.
