Then there would be employment for a great many enterprising young men to do business. because we would do the business of the country although we would not do the labor. As to the labor question. it is argued with considerable force that it would be a great advantage to our laborers because nature has ordained that the Filipinos can not come here. A man is insane to talk about an emigration from the Tropics to the north to labor. The thing never has occurred and never can occur in the very nature of things. Laborers have gone from the temperate zones to the tropical zone. -but they lasted but a short time.
