I am not surprised that the Senator from Rhode Island is compelled to take refuge in some general doctrine of protection under the wings of which he thinks he can shelter this monstrous attack upon the industries that I have described. You are not creating a new industry. but only transferring an old one here. where it can only be carried on at a disadvantage and wastefully. and for that disadvantage and for that waste you call upon the farmers to pay. You do not create an industry. but you propose to take an industry from its natural and wholesome conditions and make it a parasite upon another industry. This differs not from all but from very many other claims for protection in this: You are not here laying an import duty merely to prevent foreign competition. but you are laying the burden largely upon industries. not upon mere consumers of finished products. as the tax on woolens Iflls upon the mere wearer of clothes. upon the mere wearer of the hat or the consumnerof the product in some othershape. bdt you are seeking. as I have shown. to place this tax upon industries already established. employing American labor to a greater extent than it is possible that the industry which seeks protection should ever employ it. and you are doing it in the name of protection to American labor. You say that you can not compete with the pauper labor of Wales in the manufacture of tinplate.
