Chairman. that a condition most horrible exists in this country in that respect let me read a letter written by a minister living in Vermont. He tells us what the American workingman must compete against. And this is what he says about the tariff we read so much about and about which we speak so mnuch here: Why can not Congress see the fundamental relation of the whole matter of protection and immigration? Certainly tm great hordes of alen and women who face low European wages after the war ceases will not remain In Europe if they can coie here. Some time ago we made a survey of our town.
