He says that the normal condition of trade is free trade. and that the ground alone upon which the system or theory of protection can be maintained is to protect labor. That is his ground. and it is nothing more than a confession by the ablest representative of the protective theory that this protective bill is abnormal. which is the truth. They say it protects. It protects against what and whbm? They tell you against the pauper labor of Europe. Certainly. against the pauper labor of Europe. say they. which is by no means proven. How does it protect and who pays that protection? If the man who manufactures is protected. by whom is he protected?
