It was asserted here the other day that our country was filled with idle men and unemployed labor. I denyit. Idleness is not enforced. and there is labor for all at remunerative rates. Annually for ten years over five hundred thousand immigrants have sought our country for employment. and with these yearly additions from abroad to our labor force there has not been any decrease in the rate of wages during that period. The immigrants find employment and continue to come. I have already given the increase in the number of those employed in our mechanical industries. The number engaged in agriculture is not so available.
