in the price of labor is all Wing meas
ure, intended merely 10 deceive our
trends-it will work well assure you.


LaJortr. find, Mr. Senator, that in
the hard-money countries of Europe the
price Of labor averages about ten cents Il
day, without board-and do you really
think that would be as well for us here,
as the dollar, or dollar and half which
