I would so legislate as to protect the laboring classes of our countrymen. and at the same time I would not disturb or distract. I would not have the manufacturer crushed and driven from business. I would not legislate so as to destroy his capital or hush the busy hum of his machinery. I would not see our laborers crushed by forcing them into competition with pauper labor of foreign lands. Protect the poor from the rich. the weak from the strong. is the voice uttered to us all from the policy of that Government that rests upon the shoulders of her people as the sovereign whole in unity. It is urged that we raise too much revenue.
