Cheap. underpaid. and halfstarved laborers will resort to this country in myriads to get our better food and shelter and higher prices for their work. and we can not keep them out unless we put them under* a ban like that we have just imposed upon Chindse laborers. and prohibit their coming. What protectionist. what Republican. has ever attempted to protect the American laborer as they protect American capitalists and mannfacturers. by a tax upon the foreign laborer. as well as upon the products of his labor? The Republican party. in order to increase the supply of labor in the United States. provided for the encouragement of immigration from foreign countries. and this very bill contains some remarkable advantages which are given on the freelist in favor of such immigration. A home market for foreign laborers is what this bill invites. and to give it full encouragement it exempts them from taxation. with all their wearing apparel. teams. vehicles. tackle. harness. and household effects. When they get here. whether they remain a year or as permanent residents. they enjoy equally with our people all the advantages of the home market we provide for them by taxing our people.
