That is the part of the question that I was coming to precisely. The manufacturer says he must be protected for the laborers sake against foreign pauper labor or the fabrics and the product of foreign paupers. Congress accordingly levies a tax upon all the goods imported into this country that would come in competition with the produet of that manufacturer and his workmen. Consequently that tax is paid on the domestic product as well as on the foreign importation. That protects the manufacturer in the name of the laborer. Will -any one tell me what protects the laborer of this country against the pauper himself? Taking it for granted in the language used by the protectionist that all foreign labor is .pauper labor. we protect our home people against the products of the forp.ign pauper. but wq do not protect our home workmen against the foreign pauper himself. and he comes in consmquently to compete.
