Our vast unoccupied territory of fertile lands is open to the laborer. and if he can not get employment one place at wages to suit him he can turn to another. If all the laborers in this country were dependent upon these highly prttected manufacturers for good wages they would be in a bad condition. A high tariff shuts out cheap foreign goods from our farmers and other laboring classes. but it does not shut out foreign pauper laborers from competing with American laborers. Under a high tariff the American manufacturer buys his labor cheap and sells his goods high. while the American workingman often sells his labor cheap and buys his goods high. The farmers sell their goods cheap and buy their goods high.
