In conclusion. Mr. President. what I have attempted to prove is this: Not only have we installed laborsaving devices in America for the purpose of eliminating the labor cost. but we have installed cheap immigrant labor to take advantage of the laborsaving devices to such an extent that the members of the Imlligration Commission. two of whol are Members of this -bodythe Senator from Vermnont and the Senator from Massachusetts -state that the majority of all the operatives ill the mills of the North Atlantic States are these foreign laborers. If we are going to stand fairly and squarely by American labor. we ought to shut the doors to the importation of this European influx. and when we have installed laborsaving devices which increase the output. we ought to give the American laborer the benefit of those laborsaving devices. Buckle says. in his History of Civilization. that tile only three steps in civilization are wealth. leisure. and learning.
