I would have -a tariff duty. if I had my way. just high enough to give to the American manufacturer the markets of his own country. just high enough that if he attempted to impose upon the consumer the profits would be such that the importer could compete with him. That is my doctrine. I know that yo a can not maintain the price of American labor in this country on that principle now. I know that American labor is threatened with Asiatic prices. I do not care to go into that now. It has been touched upon by several Senators at this session.
