President. where I have always stood. on the ground that adjusting the tariff is purely a business matter. that it ought to be done with a view to revenue for a government economically and honestly administered. that in adjusting it it shall be arranged on fair business principles. with no disposition to strike at any one section or another. but to give enough protection to every interest in the land. That is all I desire. When the Senator from New Hampshire comes to me and tells me "I do not want the privilege of using English roads laid with English rails made by pauper labor in England. and cars constructed by the Canadians at less cost than would be paid in America. for the purpose of getting transportation cheaper by that means. by using this foreign material and foreign labor." and then when you come to adjust the rest of the tariff with that advantage to the only section bordering on the lakes that has that benefit. do not twit us with being freetraders and in favor of the pauper labor of Spain and Cuba. but come to us and give us a fair opportunity to live. Weknowthat you have acountry that is good. and that you must be engaged in manufactures in order to prosper and build you up. We will give you all the advantages you need.
