Not only is this report significant in the matter of labor and the cost of timber. but it is significant all the way along the line. We are not only superior to the Canadian in the matter of logging. and in the matter of milling. but we are superior to any other men on the earth in that regard. If the statistics could be extended so as to embrace the labor cost in the United States and in Europe in any line of industry where the American genius can apply machine ery. it will be found that the American product is a cheaper product. and therefore the plea that protection is needed in behalf of the American laborer against the pauper labor of Europe falls to the ground without any significance or weight.
