Let us look for a moment at two of these precious aphorisms. these beautiful expressions of the letalone doctrine to the effect that you must."buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market." and that everything must be settled by the unrestrained and unqualified economic law of supply and demand. Let us see how these profound antitheses bear the test of actual legislation in the United States. We have upon our statute books at this moment a law to prevent the importation of contract labor. a law very imperfectly enforced I am sorry to say. What put that law upon the statute book? The demand of the laboring men of the United States that they should be protected against that form of competition.
