I know that thisjute is. in the opinion of the farmers of Ohio I and Indiana and that region where flax can still be produced. interfering with their industry. and I know it has destroyed in a great measure thd value of their flax tow. If that kind of logic must be applied to this tariff bill. where will it end? You destroy the smaller industries of the country. you destroy seventynine little establishments to build up four or five. you go to India. the other side of the earth. to get there a product raised by pauper labor. paid 10 or 15 cents a day. according to the statementandl have no doubt it is correctand then bring it into competition here and build up great establishments along the Atlantic seacoast to compete with the smaller industries of the West. These jute goods do come directly in competition. They have closed all the Western market. they have closed all the California market. and are sapping and destroying the smaller industries founded upon the agriculture of our own people.
