Huts. and hovels. and nakedness. and pauperism. and crime follow sadly after the procession of cheap labor. Need I point to downtrodden Ireland in proof of thisstripped bare and naked by the accursed greed and avarice of freetrade England? Need I further point to the grain fields of Egypt. and the cotton and rice fields of India. where the miserable coolies at the point of English bayonets and the mouths of English cannon are compelled to labor for unpaid toil ? And this is the kind of labor and the dnd of toil that you farmers of the great West are compelled to compete with in the markets of the world! Laborerswho toil from sun. to sun. with breechclouts for raiment. with mud hovels and bamboo huts for dwellingplaces. and a handful of rice for their daily food. such is the banquet that freetrade England invites you to sit down to. farmers of America !
