Mr. President. before I cease my hurable plea in behalf of the American agricultural workingmen. They come in competition with the pauper labor of other lands. but they are never dignified here. either by being classed amongst our workingmen or by attention being paid to the fact that they are coming in competition with the pauper labor of other countries. If the cry which Republicanism makes so often. that it is ready. willing. and glad to interpose the arm of a protective tax between the pauper labor of other lands and the free labor of America were not "sound and fury. signifying nothing." why. let me ask you preachers of the creed. why will you not put a protective tax on cotton to place it between the toiling millions of your Southern countrymen and the ryots of India. who are their chief competitors in cotton production? I will tell you why. Mr.
