What system of espionage will prevent their filtering through when Hawaii is a part of our Union? But even if the laborer can be kept out. what watchfulness under interstate and foreign commerce can exclude the interchange of the cheap products in competition with the higherpriced products of States? Protection for American labor against the pauper labor of Europe was a postulate by which manufacturers were enabled to increase the price of domestic products without increasing the wages of labor. The party of protection against Europe will by the passage of these resolutions open theircountry to an influx of the cheapest labor in the world and to a deluge of its cheapest products. and it will come from the west and not the east. Not only the principle of our Government is at stake. but the support of our laborers is in danger from the annexation and incorporation of a people corraled by adventurers and turned over to this country.
