You fbrce him to sell abroad. you oblige him to buy at home. and the only reason you can assign is that the home manufacturer must needs be cared for. This is class legislation. and no one can successfully deny it. You tell him after he has carried the productions of this soil into the open mar"kets of the world and sold them there in competition with this pauper labor. as you are pleased to call ityou tell him he must return home and make his purchases here in the protected market for the beniefit of your pampered and favored classes. He answers that this is not fair. that if you have forced him to sell what he had to dispose of in open market and in competition. why not give him the right to buy upon the same terms. if it is barter and trade he is engaged in. We all know.
