The sweet rains from heaven would fail to remove the odor of their business. Surely not our silver and gold mining people. for the good Lord in His infinite wisdom and goodness did not give the European people any gold and silver to work in. But. finally. what portion of our manufacturing people need protection from the baleful influences of competition with the pauper labor of Europe? Let us inquire. Not our printers or newspaper men. not our carpenters. brick or stone masons. plasterers. painters. plumbers. paperhangers. or any one connected with housebuilding or houserepairingpaupers in Europe. with all their meanness. have never attempted to build a house and send it over here. nor have any of our people sent a house over there to get repaired. our milliners. dressmakers. seamstresses. tailors. and tailoressesthese have to reside here. not our bakers. our butchers. our gristmill employs. our quarry men. our brick and tile makers. our blacksmiths. carshop and foundry men. boot or shoe makers. saddle and harness makers.tanners. curriers. and all others working in leatherwe can beat the world in leather. if you will only leave out kid gloves: six employ6s in a firstclass establishment can make a $7 pair of boots in ten minutes by the watch. not our planingmill men. sash. doors. and blinds factory men. woodchoppers. woodturners. loggers. raftsmen. sawmill men. furniture makers. coopers. and all others engaged in working wood. because we took outa patent on this business after England.
