When he brings a blanket or a pair of shoes or anything else to sell cheaper t an you are willing to make it and sell it at. you despise the foreigner and you appeal to all kinds of prejudices against him. but when the foreigner comes himself to underbid and underwork the American laborer and take the bread from his mouth and the months of his children. you welcome him with open and with hypocritical embrace. That is what is universally done. Onehalf of the factories of New England now are filled with men who are not even naturalized citizens of the United States. but who come across the border from Canada and elsewhere to labor here and return with the proceeds of their labor. You welcome that foreigner when he comes in the midst of your strikes. whom you cau use for the purpose of putting down and suppressing the efforts of labor to secure its share in this taxation that is imposed in its name. but when he comes with anything to sell he is anathema maranatha. and all men are social traitors who desire to purchase his products at a reasonable price. That is the history of this labor question.
