Now is it a fact that the United States and all these other European countries are living off Great Britain. she being the only freetrade country. that she is paying for the expenses of the standing army of Germany and of France. that she is also paying the enormous tariff taxes of this Government. and yet prospering? Why. it is nonsense. I had supposed that the $300.000.000 in the Federal Treasury. or whatever proportion of that amount had been derived from the protective tariff. belonged to the American people. I had supposed that it was paid by then. and not by Great Britain or any other country. But we are told that if we permit the importation of foreign manunfactures the pauper labor of other countries will flood us with cheap goods. Mr. Chairman. we might carry that argument a little further.
