Does he know thatin the city of Boston. which is a manufacturing city and the center of manufacturing interests. there are 89.783 more children of foreign parentage than of Massachusetts parentage? So long as your doors are open to the lowest pauper class of .labor of Europe. whether it be the Russian Jew or the Polish Jew or the Scandinavian or the Irishman or the Englishmanand when I use the words" pauper labor I of course I do not intend to cast any reflection upon any class of people. I mean those people who in their own countries work for smallwageshow can protection protect American laborers? How can it do so when in the city of Boston itself you find that enormous aggregation of foreigners? There is nothing to dttract foreigners to Boston that I know of.
