The Senator from Connecticut has afforded me an opportunity. by a little diversion from the line of my argument. to make a statement and an answer to his question that I am very happy to do. The population of Wisconsin originated very largely in immigration. It takes about a thousand dollars of somebodys money to raise a hoy from the date of his birth until he is eighteen. nineteen. or twenty years of age. able to do a mans work. Somebody has to expend it. It is a tax upon the community. In considering the aggregate wealth and the aggregate expenditure of any community you are obliged to take into account not merely the cost of raising labor but also the value of labor after it is raised.
