Mr. President. I heard the Senator from Rhode Island . the Senator who is in charge of this bill or appears to be in charge. in speaking of a very high rate fixed upon one of the articles in the schedule. say that it was necessary to retain it to protect American labor against the pauper labor of Europe. In the same conneetiou very shortly afterwards the Senator said it was necessary to retain this high rate of duty. which otherwise he expressed a willingness to lessen. in order to enable the American manufacturer to compete suecessfnlly with the pauper labor of Europe. "The pauper labor of Europe." Mr. President. is an expression which has no novelty. It lacks the charm of newness.
