Tux importation q cheap foreign labor

THE importation Of cheap Ioreign labor
to pplace labor already on the spot is re-
pugnant to every American instinct. In.
savors strongly OF the cody system. A
man who makes his own way to this
country shows by that act that he has come
manhood in him. Itis reasonable to hope
that in tims we shall bs able to assimilats
him and make good citizen Of him. Men
brought in bulk to be dumped into an in
dustry to cheaper wageB will never be
warmly received in this country. It ia
nearly quarter OF n century since the last
cargo oil African slaves was brought to
theae ahores. The. country will not look
kindly on anything that is akin to that
traffic.
