Why is that? Is it because in China you have the cheapest labor in the world? Is Congress engaged solemly at this hour in endeavoring. by the consumption of this day and perhaps another Calendar Wednesday. to create a system of legislation whereby men of means. instead of using their money to develop the resources here. shall take that money to China. where they can employ pauper labor to develop the oil and the iron and all the resources of that country? What are you doing? Ah. you say to them. " You shall not sell any of that stuff back here." We shall get no benefit in the trade unless those poor. benighted people take our electrical machinery and what we offer to sell them.
