If the duty does not enter into the cost of the product at all. nor any part of it. and it can not protect American labor. it seems to me that our American labor here is as cheap as the pauper labor of Europe. Then why not throw the door open and let us have a lair chance and see who will get the benefit? To keep this enormous duty standing there staring us in the lace. notwithstanding the denial of Senators. it seems to me must be for the purpose of benefitingthe manufacturers of the country in some way. and the proof of that is that they are opposing the removal of the duty. I do not see any reason why they are keeping it there. unless it is for the formation of trusts. They may be willing to have a trust and have the prices reduced after awhile.
