Go to the West and ask the farmer if it is the protective tariff that plows his soil. sows his seed. and reaps his harvest. and he will tell you no. it is the genius of McCormick and those other great inventors who have invented the reaper. the mower. the thrasher. the hayfork. which has made one man equal to twenty. and stimulated production. In spite of the tariff has this country progressed. and the tariff has added nothing. but detracted much from the progress of the West. But we are told. on theother hand. that it isnot the farmers. nottho people of this country. not the consumers. that pay the tariff tax. that it is paid by foreigners and those who manufacture abroad. in other words. that the "pauper labor of Europe" is paying all the taxes derived by this Government from customs duties. Well. I suppose the same may be said of Germany. for she has a protective tariff. and also of France and of Austria.
