men are everywhere found TO be most valua-
BILE their labor is worth, and commands the
highest wages. Soiire years since a manu-
featuring establishment Of Massachusetts,
imported some workmen from Europe, ON
the supposition Of their better skill, yet in
few years. the superior intelligence of Ame-
rican workmen around them had crowded
them out Of The best places in the mill. and
most Of them were soon found occupying
unimportant and irresponsible positions. In
sumo branches Of manufacturing aud me-
chanical industry, they need little or no
protection now. Their productive energy
and skill have already reached point which
de6es competition. But in other depart
ments Of industry they need and should re-
ceive 50 much protection as may be neces-
sary to sustain them against the degraded
labor Of Europe.
