...amount produced by the laborer. It is said that when wages are 35 cents a day in Germany and $1.50 here, without a tariff we should be undersold by pauper labor. But time wages are of no importance. The question is, which labor is cheapest for the manufacturer? Statistics show that the highest wages are the cheapest, and that low wages are the most expensive.

For the negative, G. A. Reisner, '89, proceeded to show the inconsistency of his opponent. He maintained that the characteristics and institutions of the Canadians totally opposed those of United States; they would be unwilling to be annexed without war, and, even in case of annexation without one, the political interests of our country would be injured.
