The Senator from Nevada seems to be driven to misrepresent me. not intentionally of course. in order to support his argument. I never said the immigrant left higher wages to come here. I said distinctly that he came here where wages in most cases were higher than they were there. I was speaking of one industry. the cotton industry. one of the most highly protected industries that we have in this country. in which it appears by the statistics to which I referred. official in both cases. that the wages in this country. highly protected as that industry is. are not higher than they are in England.
