And so the list of heavily protected articles which need no protection is greatly extended. But what advocate of protection was found in 1883. or is found now. proposing either to reduce or abolish the duties on any one of these articles? It might well be.* sir. that if they would act in good faith and frankly propose to put on the freelist the articles which they well know no longer need protection against the dreaded pauper labor of Europe. the friends of revenue reform could meet them and agree to continue yet longer the present protective duties on other articles which may possibly need such bounty. But. sir. they resist with desperation every attempt at reduction. They admit no compromise.
