Speech #570036477

Our American laboring men and women are subjected to a quite- severe enough competition among themselves at best. The rewards and returns of labor are scanty enough at best and under natural conditions. But what rewards and returns can AngloSaxon labor hope for if subjected to competition with Asiatics who can and do live on 2 cents worth of rice a day? This is the practical question connected with this bill. It is a question whether we shall keep up the standards of life in the ranks of American labor. and strive to continue to elevate those standards or deliberately degrade them to the Chinese level.
