Chairman. in reply to the statement of the gentlenian from Alabama . I would assure him that I stand for the maintenance in the United States of an American standard of wages. whether it is paid to the man who comes from abroad or to the native American. We maintain that wage standard in the United States despite immigration. and that is a complete answer to the argument that the gentleman from Alabama has made. I am sorry that he is disappointed over the failure of his efforts to pass effectively that bill for the restriction of imligration. upon which he labored for six years. I regret exceediugly for his sake that he has been denied the opportunity of returning in triumph to his district. where the bands would be playing and the flags flying in honor of his approach.
