The product of the factory is protected against the importation of like articles from foreign countries. but the importation of labor is free. No duties are imposed on labor that comes to compete with American labor. but on the contrary bounties in the way of free transportation are paid to foreigners to come to America to swell the army of those who are seeking labor. Notwithstanding the strikes. lockouts. and other evidences of the depression of the labor market. almost every railroad corporation. every State and Territory. has its immigration bureau. filling all the world with highly colored pictures and graphic descriptions of the prosperous condition of labor in America. Mr. Chairman.
