I do not desire to carry this discussion further now. As soon as the Senator is through I shall take occasion to read the exact figures representing the wages that are paid in the New England mills and in the mills of the section of the country which the Senator so honorably represents. I only wish to say now. if he will allow me. since he says the South has not opened her doors to imiigration. that if I am not mistaken it was only two or three years ago that the Representatives of his own State were so anxious to get immigration that the citizens of Charleston. S. C.. formed a committee for the purpose of trying to get immigrants there. They found it was an utter failure. however. because the iinnigrants from he foreign countries went to the part of the United States where they could get the highest wages. and the people of South Carolina were unable to make any progress in persuading them to come there. for the simple reason that the market for their wages was so much higher in other parts of the country.
