Now. Mr. President. the whole scheme of this bill. as thus openly professed and advocated. is not to benefit the foreign authors. nor to benefit the American printers by giving them the opportunity to set up works which have been published abroad. but to induce the immigration into the United States of the fofeign mechanics. who will come here as the competitors of our own. Mr. President. the Congress of the United States have expressed their opinion as to the injury which is done to American labor by the importation of foreign mechanics. and have prohibited it by law when done under contract.
