Under these conditions the American citizen. the laborer. the workman. and the artisan have risen to a loftier plane and to greater dignity than their brothers in even the mo t favored countries of Europe. Under the benign influence of this American system of protective tariff. labor of every character and description enjoys higher remuneration and better wages than in any other land. But in the latter years of our history emigration from foreign soil assumed such proportions as to counteract the effect of the tariff to a degree that it was found necessary to enact laws restricting the influx of labor. and even now Congress is considering the matter of additional legislation deemed necessary to still further retard and decrease the coming to our shores of the labor of England. Ireland. Scotland.
