It is valuable information. Upon the other branch of the resolution the Senator from New Hampshire seems to assume that no person is informed upon the subject of the importation of foreign laborers into this country and into the factories of this country. It is notorious. and has been for years. that the law against the importation of contract labor is being daily and weekly and monthly violated. and that men are brought here from abroad to take the place of native and naturalized labor. Now. the census. I understand. will disclose to some extent the percentage of persons who were brought here to take the place of American labor. native and naturalized. and if we can discover by the passage of the resolution or by any other step that themen who stand in this Chamber and howl for the laboring men of this country are displacing the native and naturalized labor by laborers from Hungary and other portions of Europe who come here to labor for a time and then go away. and that they are using the foreigners as the men upon whom the blessings of protection are to fall. it is important to the country to know that fact. I have no desire to go any further into a discussion of the resolution or its importance.
