It is claiming serious criticism of the policy of restriction in things as well as restriction in men. Not only have we a vast undeveloped territory to give work to the farmer. but the mines. the forests. and the factories want hands. and more hands. That portion of the immigrants who locate in the Atlantic ports do so because carpets. rails. pig iron. and cotton cloth are being made in those ports and sold to the "pauper" coutries. immigrants from which are said to be lowering the price of the wages of or own laborers. There is an advance in our trade which. if not checked by foolish and useless legslation like this bill and the kindred measure of restriction passed in the extra session. will give the United States preeminence in every market where machinemade merchandise can be sold. N this connection.
