It would be impossible to arrive at the conclusion. from careful observation of the existence of matters in my district. of those advocating the passage of this bill. that the protective tariff results only in the enormous profit of the manufacturer and the downtrodden and deplorable condition of the wageworker. Without fear of contradiction I make the assertion that manufacturers and employers. Democrats and Republicans alike. would pronounce such conditions founded on theory simply ridiculous. because in practice they do not exist. The average wages in all branches of trade in my district are from 100 to 150 per cent. higher than the wages paid in England. A large percentage of the mechanics of my district emigrated to this country from England. Scotland. Ireland.
