This is one of the disabilities under which. he says. be labors: The operatives in American woolen mills. in spite of the Very much higher wages paid. are largely drawn from the ranks of unskilled labor. And whence does this unskilled labor come? There is little of it among nativeborn Americans. It is taken from the steady flow of immigration into this country. Here we have the situation. This gentleman insists upon an ad valorem tariff duty upon the things he sells. to wit. worsted and woolen goods. but at the same time the thing that he buys is coming in free at every port in this country.
