I will say that our history. of course. is one of 15 or 20 years insofar as our industrial decline is concerned. and many factories have gone to other parts of the country. but. as I said before. the present situation is being aggravated by the influx of foreignmade goods which can be delivered in our market much cheaper than they can be made here. We have immigration laws restricting the immigrants from coming to this country because of the competition they will be to the American workman. It is much more important that the products of this foreign labor be restricted from entering the country than the laborers themselves. Break down the tariff which is protecting the industries of this country and it takes no stretch of the imagination to see what will become of the factories and mills whose products are bargained off by reciprocaltrade agreements.
