This state of things exists only where protection is general. and it is that only in the United States. Goods are cheap in Italy. in Hugaty. and in Poland. but labor is cheaper. and the laborer can not buy. The laboring man emigrates from freetrade countries to protective ones. not from protective countries to freetrade ones. By laborer I do not simply mean those engaged in masses in great centers of industry. but the farmer and farm laborer as well. the village and country mechanic. and the worker in any employment. alone or with others. everywhere. It is time for all such to see to it that the system of protection which was commenced in the days of Washington and which has hitherto existed be not stricken down by open foes or pretended friends.
