So. after all. I do not see why our southern brethren are so insistent upon shutting out labor that comes to this country willing to be employed. Have wages been reduced with this great immigration coining to this countrygreater in the aggregate from 3.900 up to the present time than in any other 12 years in the history of the Republic? No. Wages have greatly increased notwithstanding that immigration. Gentlemen misapprehend what the facts are. It is an economic question so far as the immigration is concerned. not a racial question. I want to say again to our southern brethren that I rejoice in their advance from the material standpoint. But there are shorter hours today in the Northland than there were before this great block of immigration came. and there is better employment at a better wage.
