With all their ingenuity they have failed. utterly failed. to establish any of these propositions. They have simply met us with denials without proof. and bold and contradictory assertions. such as we had a specimen of in the speech of a member who stated that he was a manufacturer andlknew all about the system. In one breath they say they must have tariff daties high and in sonei cases prohibitory. to protect American industry from the competition of the pauper labor of Edirope. and in the next they tell us that the tariffeheapens articles manufactued here. Gentlensen have said. among other things. that tracechains were cheaper here than in England. ad the other articles daily used by the farmer referred to by me. If this be true. why do the protectivetariff men object to abolishing the tariff duties?
