He says if we only raise the duties high enough we will eventually produce at home all the manufactured goods now imported. that we would thereby support 700.000 more laborers. and that they with those dependent upon them would be three and a half millions of people. Mr. Chairman. how long would it take this country to increase three millions and a half in population? By natural increase and immigration just about three years.

And how much of whatthe farmer has to dispose of would they consune ?
