We desire to build up our industries in order that we may have all of these different manufactures near to our homes. and while these shafts of acrimony seem to be aimed at that section of the country. I beg gentlemen to pausea moment and tell me whether that section of the country. with all of its wealth of manufacturing industries of all kinds. is not amply able to protect itself. whereas we of the South and the West. with our infant industries. do need this fostering care of the Government which is brought about by protection. But all we ask and. as my colleaugue well said. all I believe our State demands. is the closing of the gap between the pauper labor of Europe and the free labor of America.
