It is a misfortune to be poor. and the poorer you are the greater the misfortune. But the intent of this bill Is clearly to prohibit the importation into this country of goods. wares. and merchandise or anything of the sort that is made by laborers who do not receive the wages of free labor. but who are in some way assisted by the State. In addition to that. while it has nothing to do with the parliamentary point. the popular acceptation of "pauper labor" in this country has been that class of labor in foreign countries which receives less wages than the American laborers get. There have been all sorts of tales told about what the wages of workmen in foreign countries aresome of them true and some of them not truefor political effect. But this bill defines what "a pauper" is for the purposes of this act.
