Why? Because they better their condition: because the wages are better. We get some immigration. notably the Chinese. whom we are trying to exclude. and some immigration from Poland. and some from Italy that we do not like. and we have passed our laws sifting the immigration. It is wise legislation. but gentlemen declaim atgsinst that immigration. and to cure it my colleague from Illinois would reduce the wages of the man who lives by the sweat of his face in the United States to an equality with the man who labors in Europe. and then he says there would be no wage incentive for the foreigner to immigrate. All this he and the Democratic party propose to accomplish. as they proclaim. by absouto free trade. In other words. the labor of other countries is to sell its products in our markets free in competition with our labor engaged in making like products.
