If this industry is left to itself and protected as it should be. the time will come when lbreign raisins will be driven out of the market and California will supply our whole country with raisins. But if this duty is reduced every year or two. as you propose to do. the result will be that less and less raisins will be raised. and the market will be left open for foreign products to come in. Our friends on the other side contend that the reason they want to protect rice and the reason they want to protect sugar is because these products come into competition with the pauper labor of India and other countries. That is true. They are right in that respect. and that is just what we claim for all the other industries in the North.
