But take the theory of the gentlemen who favor and who say that they should have protection. with the amendment of the honorable Senator from Delaware adopted. they have protection to the extent of 50 per cent. These gentlemen say it is for the protection of American labor. when the facts show that 17- per cent. will pay for every dollars worth of labor employed in the production of woolen goods. when the figures further show that 5 per cent. will pay the entire alleged difference claied to exist between labor in Europe and America. Sir. the whole theory upon which theprotectivetariffrests is that our people must be protected against the pauper labor of Europe. What other protection is there? Three thousand miles of ocean are to be traversed by the European product before it can get to our markets to compete with our home product.
