On the contrary. the evidence is full and complete that vast interests getting the benefit of the high tariff wall. and relieved of competition themselves. are the very agencies that have encouraged. if they have not subsidized. the influx of vast hordes of labor from Europe all on the free list. They have encouraged the sending over of the cheapest labor of Europe. They have gathered up the paupers in the highways and byways. and. dumping them on our shores. they did not guide them to the fields in need of cultivation. but directed their footsteps to the mine and the factory. and there the pauper labor of Europe has stood upon the neck and shoulder of American labor. I have been accused of being afraid of other nations in behalf of my own country. I have studied America in compariEon with other nations. and our civilization in comparison with theirs. and two great facts stand out.
