And. sir. how idle it seems. to be talking about the supply of labor in this country and the supply in the Old World. as though they were two different things. In reality they are but one. the ocean is no barrier. but rather the facile medium of intercourse. The immigrant upon the European coast is practically nearer !the workshops of New England and the mines of Pennsylvania �than the dweller in California or even in Chicago. The high protectionist has never asked to have a tariff laid or any other measure adopted to stay this free importation of labor. Is it not perfectly manifest that if the manufacturer here knows that he can find as efficient help at a lower price in other lands he will find it and bring it here?
