The conclusion is equally plain that the United States will be flooded with the goods of Europe to the great detriment of our manufacturers. In this competition American mills must close and American workmen are thrown out upon the streets to hunt or beg for their bread and butter. Upon the face of this bill the tax appears to be reduced. Is that a real and beneficial reduction of taxation which shuts our shops and imposes an untold burden of poverty and enfbrced idleness.upon the country to support. and at the same time opens the floodgates of free trade to the pauper labor of England. France. and Germany? It is a reduction. but such as discriminates only in favor of foreign manufacturers.
