Tde Atiilml'd Labor Unions
tliut met in Oifgon Cily on Iny
3d. resolved in favor f Congress
passing more stringent laws
to exclude th3 immigration of
men and women faom Japan
and China as a means of protect
ing Americau laborers from be
ing forced to compete with the
oheaper labor of those countries.
Phis is a wise precaution and
one in accordance with the gen
eral policy of the United States
since 1860, which has been to
increase the wages of the Amer-
can laborers, which has resulted
in a , general rue of wages
throughout the country. To
illustrate the benefits that Amer
ican labor bus received from the
policy no and since 1860 has
prevailed with but little inter
ruption; we will quote a few items
from the report of the Commis
sioner of Labor for 1900. In
1860 the average wages for ten
hours work for carpenters and
joiners, in Connecticut was $1 .65
in Maryland 1.38, New York
$1.90, Maryland $1.35, Ohio $1 53
and in Pa. '$176. In 1900 car
penters and joiners recoiveb in
Alabama for 9 hours work an
uverace of $2.48' in California
for a day of 8 hours $3.08, in
Georgia $1 96 was paid for 10
hours work, in III. $3.40 for 8
hours and in Muss, the wages
for a day of 8 hours was $2.42.
Those who are interested may
oompare the aobve prices and
draw their own conclusious.
There are two weys of prelud
ing American labor; one is to
prevent laborers fiom cheap
labor countries from coming to
this country, and tho other is to
put a tariff ou tne product of
cheap labor, made in foreign
oountnes imported into this at
such a rate that the Anierocnn
laborer can be employed in this
country and the product of his
Ubor sold at prices that will en-
him stead v ' emnlovment at
rf r- -American
rates of wages. This
is callsd protective tariff, because
