Mr. Chairman. the great body of mechanics and workingmen in this country will never submit to the wholesale destruction of American industries. and have their wages reduced to a level with the pauper labor of Europe. and political parties will do well to be warned in time. The party that attempts it will. and deservedly so. be utterly crushed out of existence. Preliminary computation of amounts to be received by the States and Territories. excluding the District of Columbia. of $77.000.000 distributed on the basis of the number of persons who could not write in 1880. as per Senate bill 194. [Prepared by the Bureau of Education.
