Finding Congress not a very ready listener to his wants. he then appeals to the ring of protectionists to allow him to become one of protections most exalted members. And after receiving his first lesson lie returns and says: " I ask protection in the name of labor. We woolgrowers in Ohio must have protection against the pauper laborers of England. You farmers who raise cattle. swine. and grain. and send it broadcast into the world to find a market without any protection. after contributing your mite to save us. can do the best you can fbr yourselves. the small pittance we exact off of you is very small to make our bad speculation good." For this we propose to deliver our votes to protect other monopolies. and they are to give us protection. all to be an additional burden upon the other unprotected industries of the United States. and to bear most heavily upon the very class in whose name we received the donation. because at last the increased price. if any. is paid by the consumer. The laborer who clothes his family and himself pays it all at last with interest. and those who wear the cheaper grade of clothing pay more than those who wear the better grade.
