Benefits to Foreign Labor from the Tariff

Benefits to Foreign Labor from the Tariff
1t is funny thing that this tariff sys-
tenn, so much Wanted as bulwark to
native workmen, encourages and fur
nishes living to foreigners. 4 cursory
glance at our industries is enough TO
prove this. Who work in the great ready
made clothing shops of the principal
cities? Some Americans, perhaps, but is
not the vast majority made up of Poles
and Bohemians? Who does not know
that of late years, that is, since the war.
when the tariff system was instituted,
Canadians have overrun New England
towns and secured places in the factories?
The overwhelming presence of under
paid, miserable Hungarians in the Penn
sylvania mining regions is notorious.
And SO it goes. Every important pro-
tected industry has vast proportion of
foreigners in its employ.
How about the unprotected industries,
farming, masonry, the ordinary trades
connected with housebuilding? In these
the major part of the workmen are
American citizens, and, better still. ma
tives.
Furthermore, it does not follow that
the workmen in protected" industries
get the highest wages or live most COM
fortably. The reverse is the case. The
greatest prosperity among laborers is
found among those whose industries are
not protected.
