They propose to legislate so that those people will get good wages in Canada and do the work in Canada which our laboring people Ought to do. It is better that the laborers come to the United States and labor here. even if by doing so they crowd out some other laborers. because when they earn wages here theyspend them here. the money paid to them is expended for living. for clothing. and for housing. and by that means our country is enriched and built up. I am not going to discuss now the de sirability or undesirabilityof large immigration. Iam not going to discuss now the question of whether or not there ought to be more restrictions placed upon immigration to this country. All that I am saying now is that it is better that immigrants should come to this countryand do work here than it is that we give them the work abroad to do and then admit their cheap products free into this.country. We asked Mr. Wiman about this question of immigration from Canada. The Senator from Maine asked this question: Q. We are getting a great immigration from that province now. are we not? A. Enormous.
