Why should the man who raises wheat or corn or cotton be taxed to provide a bounty or the man who raises sugar? I do not perceive why the corngrower may not as well be taxed for the benefit of the sugargrower as to be taxed for the benefit of the woolgrower and for the benefit of the manufacturer of woolen goods. The sugargrower needs as much protection from the cheap labor of the West Indies and other sugargrowing countries as do those who manufacture glassware or woolen goods from what the protectionists are pleased to call the "pauper labor of Europe." lut it is all wrong. It is class legislation. No industry should be taxed in order to increase the profits of another industry.
Identified stereotypes
European laborers are described as 'pauper labor' and a threat to American workers.
