All our products ate on stilts. put on stilts by this protective policy. with all the raw materials taxed. the elements of manufacture taxed. the machinery taxed. everything taxed. and the consumers must pay the cost. they can not help themselves. The man who swelters under an August sun in the cotton fields of Arkansas and Texas and South Carolina. be he black or white. with his wife and children. and the man who labors in the corn and wheat fields of the great Northwest. pay it because they are consumers. They are taxed in the name of American labor as though they were drones and not laborers. although their agricultural products constitute 83 per cent. of the exports that we send out of this country and compete besides with the products of pauper labor of the world.
