If there is no one to carry bricks to the bricklayer. that highly skilled worker can not find employment. You could not pay a bricklayer $6 or $7 a day if he himself were forced to carry the bricks that lie used. It is on a foundation of elemental unskilled labor that all other industry depends. And that unskilled labor in this country must be supplied by immigrants. America will not furnish it. These unskilled laborers. coming from every port of the world. are the Helots of our industrial system. purchasing American citizenship by service in the field of industry. just as the Helots of old purchased Spartan citizenship. by service in the field of battle.
