Mr. Chairman. I shall vote for the pending bill. not because I am so foolish as to believe that we can make the people rich and prosperous by taxing them. but because I believe in the broad. patriotic principle of protection to American industry and American labor. I shall vote for this bill. not because I believe that it is a panacea for the ills from which we suffer. but because it. in some measure. protects American labor against the pauper labor of other countries. My greatest regret. Mr. Chairman. however. is that the Republican party proposes such slight relif to the people who need so much. that the clamor of the idle men. the moans of starving women. aid the wails of helpless children are to be answered alone by this tariff bill. which at best can scarcely afford them a surcease of sorrow even for a brief period.
