There is scarcely a factory owner in the State represented by my friend from Rhode Island. who talks constantly and only in consideration of the protection of American interests. who has not encouraged and does not have t6 encourage these Canadian roads built by the British Government and with British money. to run a switch into his ftctory to have the products of the mills taken through Canada to Puget Sound and thence upon subsidized English steamers to China and Japan. All your business is transacted through the English who are in those countries. All that trade from New England passes over these lines free from taxes. The road is free. their engines and cars are made. as you are constantly telling us. by pauper labor. Ilow are we to compete with them? We have several main lines of railroad running to the commercial metropolis of my State through manufacturing centers.
