"Oh. no !" The Senators shake their heads and say "Oh. no." They do not say there is no pauper labor. The Senator from Colorado has just proven by statistics that the German laborer is fairly well off at least. and that the American laborer has to compete with pauper labor in Europe so far as Germany is concerned. Now. Mr. President. one word more. I never have believed. I do not believe now. in the doctrine that any taxation. high or low. has anything whatever to do with the price of wages. I. in my humble judgment. believethattobe the most flagrant. the most untenable position that any intelligent people ever got into their minds.
