Yes. open the doors wide to foreign production and labor. the price will go down. It will be down on a level with the other countries. - I am not for that I believe in a protective tariff. that is. one that Will protect American industry and labor. one that is for the common good of all the people. and I would rather put the prices up in order to equalize prices than to bring the prices down. I have been a supporter of our immigration laws. I have as much interest in labor as anyone in this House. I started to work for wages at the age of 9. and I worked my way along. not on an eighthour schedule. but much of the time 16 hours a day. and I believo I have some appreciation of the services of the wage earners.
