There are two phases of the case that present answers to this claim. One is that better wages are paid to the unprotected laborers of the country than to those vho are alleged to be protected. The other is. that while this Government has laced a high rate of duty on importedgoods. it has laid no embargo on immigration. The protected manufacturer has been left practically free. prompted by greed. to employ his labor wherever he can buy it the cheapest. whether in this or foreign countries. The proof of this is demonstrated by the statistics. which show that under this nefarious system since 1869.9.006.236 immigrants found their way to our shores. while only 6.624.764 came here in all the years preceding from the foundation of the Government. Free labor. free wheat. and free cotton fare alike under this system. This is a new country. and with its marvelous development and still more marvelous resources furnishes better opportunities for the employment of labor at better wages than any other country on the globe.
