Speech #510128805

I was coming to that. and I was going to say. if that will satisfy the Senator. that these patriotic gentlemen. whose representatives on this floor have denounced us on this side as being the advocates ofthe products of pauper labor from abroad. are themselves engaged in the business of bringing to this country the products of pauper labor and then putting them into manufactured articles and selling them abroad. and they can sell them to the foreigner cheaper than they sell them to the American. and they will do it under your tariff laws. under the very policy which you have adopted and which you propose to extend by this bill. because heretofore. under the sections which the Senator from New York has read. the exporter of the finished products made from imported raw material received a drawback of only 90 per cent.. but you propose in this bill to give him 99 per cent. to enable him to sell still lower in the foreign market than he can sell now.
