Chairman. I invite attention to the reason which my predecessor gives at this point. He says further: Here is a difference. it seemus to ne. between the position of this now under consideration and aLy of the other protected industries of this country. it is clai..ed that the reason why this protection should he given is to protect Ithe laborer. atnd yet a gentleman speaking by authority for the State of Mtchigan only a few days ago in another place admitted that ten thousand and more laborers from the Dominion of Canada each winter cross tte river. or an insgitnary line. and become competitors with our people in the forests of Mlichigau. eVeeknow that in Maine it is an easy nmtter to introduce all the cheap laborthe pauper labor. if you choosefrons Canada. Now. why should we offer this bonus to that class of laborers?
