I am a protectionist. I want to protect American labor against degrading competition both abroad and at home. I am glad to notice that some of my freetrade friends are becoming imbued with protective ideas. even if they are still unconscious of the fact that they are on the road which will lead them finally to the true American platform. which declares that we as a people are in favor of a. protective policy. of protection to American industries and to American labor. and opposed to free trade. which can mean nothing else but to allow foreign pauper labor to come in competition with our own. whether that labor is employed here or abroad. As a declaration of that principle I greet this bill. as indicative that the spirit of protection is. as it ought to be. on the increase.
