We do. Since all wealth must be produced by labor. it surely must be selfevident that nothing so valuable can come to us from foreign countriesnothing that can contribute so much to the growth and prosperity of this countryas immigrants eager to cultivate our soil. I pointed out that it is impossible for any man to perform labor of any kind without creating employment for others. My friend is under the delusion which results from disregarding the warning of Bagehot. in economics always distrust the obvious. Dvidently he believes that every foreigner who enters this country can find employment only by displacing some one already here from his theater of labor.
