Certainly no man will contend that these employees of the American WoolenCo. received a share of the protection which was given that company on the goods manufactured by it. No one can gainsay that that company has kept down wages by employing foreignborn laborers. It appears that 65 per cent of all its employees were foreign born. Much has been said in the debates here during the last few days about protection for the benefit of the laborers of this country. Some gentlemen on the other side of this House still seem to contend that protectivetariff laws insure prosperity to our wage earners.
