The foreign manufacturer is practically excluded from our markets. He can not pay the tax and compete. We are told that this tax is levied to protect the home labor against the pauper labor of Europe. The trust comes to Congress through its representatives and gets these taxes levied to exclude foreign competition. and the extra price is collected from the consumer by the trust. which claims to be acting as trustee for the class of labor engaged in making trust goods. Statisticians estimate that the people pay into this trust fund for the benefit of that class of labor over one thousand millions annually. enough to give every laborer of the class mentioned a brownstone front and a retinue of servants. with a handsome annual income to support the establishment.
