Well. for the last ten years I will assume we have received seven or eight millions. Now. there are seven or eight million more workers making things to sell. and a good part of those things have to go abroad. and then again a great many of those workers went on the farms. or else enabled Americans to stay on the farms. raising cotton and wheat and hogs for export. The birth rate of the United States I do not remember. but our people who were just below the working age and who in that ten years have grown up to the working age probably amount to three or four times the number of immigrants who came in. or several times the number of immigrants who came in. and those people. too--our own peoplehave been at work. Now. let us take the character of the exports and see if the gentleman is right. The gentleman will not contend for one moment.
