Our labor must be more highly paid. and if they can not get high pay they will go in.o something else and the whole business will cease. We have an unoccupied country. a boundless region. that is hardly fit for anything else than raising sheep. :ond we can produce our supply at home. Whatis necessary is to put such a tariff upon wool as to enable us to pay our laborers. so that our laborers will stay in that industry. and not put them in competition with the coolies of India or the peons of South America. That we can not do. You must not ask us to do it.
