For this reason. sir. this should not be made a political or sectional question. Mr. Chairman. I am opposed to a "tarifffor revenue only." or what is known as British free trade. It may work well in England. where an ablebodied man. if lie works hard. can earn $3 to $4 per week. but I we want none of it in this country. Such a tariff is a discrimination against American and in favor of the halfpaid and pauper labor of Europe. Such a system is a discrimination against our domestic and in favor of foreign manufactures. My distinguished colleague from New York says that the American tariff must go.
