I just want to make a statement suggested by my question not answered by the gentleman from New York. I want to say if you can make men believe that you can have work done in foreign countries and the same work done in the United States. you can always have Democrats. or if you can make men believe it is better for Americans to have foreigners get the pay for work we need done. you can always have a few Democrats. not many. but some. I wish to add that in my opinion the more nearly we permit Americans to do all the labor necessary to supply our needs and get good wages for this labor. the more prosperous all our people will be. I say this as a representative of a section which consumes a large amount of the goods manufactured by American workmen. and we prefer to have those goods made by our own people. giving them their wages for their labor. rather than insist that our laboring people shall stand a cut in their wages to compete with pauper labor abroad.
