But we can equalize the material which our labor uses with the loreigu material in cost. and then we could defy the world. Let us use our labor wisely. Let us leave to European cheap labor. or to Asiatic cheap labor. or any other kind of labor those manufactures and those processes which are either noxious in themselves. unwholesome. or undesirable. or in which science as yet has not been able to remove there tedious processes of labor. Wherever that occurs. wherever there is a manufacture of any kind.that science has not aided in any way. and if it is still a pure product of manual human labor. let the cheap labor of the world keep that. and let us employ our labor. which is worth from two to three times as much. in the production of articles to exchange for the products of that foreign labor if we desire them. When shall we learn that a country is most prosperous in all its departments when its trade is most flourishing. and when shall welearn that trade is always most flourishing where it is most free?
