We have found one in Great Britian which comes very near corresponding with one in the United States. So. therefore. when you take the elements of cost in a single ton of manufacture you find that labor costs less here than in any other country that Carroll D. Wright could find. less than on the continent of Europe. where they have the pauper labor. less than in Great Britain. and when I come to compare with this the further statement of the cost of the manulacture of iron in other parts of the United States. I find that it Is very much lower still. Now. the Senator will not pretend to say that this material cost in the scheaule to which I have called attention. which is the one lowest down on page 35. does not represent or intend to represent the cost of the material which enters into a ton of steel rails.
