Every inter4 est you put on this bill stands on agriculture. Agriculture mast stand under to support all this infamous fraud of taxation called protection. When you talk of protecting labor and of filling up the gap between the laborer of this country and the laborer of Europe. who proposes to fill up the gap between the agricultural laborer of this country and the pauper laborer engaged in agriculture in Europe? Yet of allthe labor that is underpaid in Europe the worst paid is agricultural labor. And yet we cannot and do not propose to protect the agricultural labor of this country against the pauper labor of Europe. not at all. If agriculture in this country. although it is bearing all these burdens of taxation. still survives. what is the reason that our manufacturing interests can not do the same without protection? If there is any common sense in the argument that American industry can not survive without protection it will apply equally to agriculture.
