That the American laborer produces nearly five times as much as the English laborer and does not receive twice as much pay. That the American laborer produces nearly six times as much as the German laborer and receives but a little over twice as much pay. Now. where is your argument about "foreign pauper labor"? [Loud applause on the Democratic side.] These statistics were used by a Republican United States Senator. and I challenge a contradiction from any Congressman on this floor. This shows that according to the productiveness of the American toiler he is the poorestpaid workman in the world. except in China and a few other uncivilized countries. which we do not seriously consider in this country. And yet you charitably inclined. standpat Republicans. in the face of that Republican authority. undertake at this late day in your career. when you are passing away. to make the impression on the people that the American wage earner is the bestpaid laborer In the world.
