I can stand here with more pro priety. possibly. than any other man and demand equality and justice. I can not hope to do more than supplement the able. masterly. unanswerable argument presented yesterday by the Senator from Utah . but I am prepared to advance some arguments that will stagger some of you to answer. The cry is. "Protect American labor against the pauper labor of Europe." It is your sole reliance in appealing to the voters to say. "We do. not want the prices which we pay you for your work to sink to the level of your European competitors." Who competes with the American farmer? Where are you driving him? Take the producer of wheat.
