It is in the interest of an immediate revival of business. and that. even for a brief period. will heip us through this cold. bad winter until we can forecast the future. I will vote for the amendment proposed by the gentleman from New York -possibly it may do some good. but the essential question is whether the amendment propoed by the chairman of the committee be agreed to. Knowing what is threatened in this bill. there being no employment. and there being the necessity for existence. the manufacturer will say to his help now out of work. freezing. starving: "Here. you see that we can manufacture for a time to compete with the pauper labor o.f Europe upon a basis that will give you existence. The goods must be sold in a depreciatd m.Lrket. for prices must be upon the foreign basis even before the bill becomes a law. Are you ready to work and resume business on the same basis as if the Wilson bill is to become a law?" And. for the sake of existence. they will agree to that. so that business will revive and the present and impending distress in this industry will be relieved.
