This was in Belgium. but on another page of that pamphlet there is a description of the workingmen of Germany. which is even more appalling than that which has been read. Belgium is a freetrade country and Germany is the most highly protected country. except one. in Europe. Why is it. if the tariff produces this sort of destitution. that Germany does not have the comfortable homes that we have in the United States? Why is it that England with free trade is today threatened with the pauper labor of Belgium? What is the reason. if the tariff produces that state of things that taking free trade Belgium. as was depicted there by Mr. Porter. highprotected Germany has a worse condition even than Belgium?
