Our imports of foreign merchandise would therefore at once be enormously increased. and all exports of eighthour products would necessarilybe impossible. Home labor would thus be largely suspended and fail to find its former remunerative employment. A lew millionaires might still live here. no doubt. or they could emigrate. but our plain people who have to make a little go a long way could have no choice. and foreign immigrants coming to our country would soon find. as would our own people. that faithful industry was out of fhshion and abolished by law. It should be borne in mind that capital. in most enterprises where labor can be employed. is indispensable. But capital is now so abundant that it sorely competes with itself. and never in the history of the world commanded less consideration or a less rate of interest.
