Mr. President. I had just given the figures showing the immigration here and how unfairly the immigrant from Europe who had gone to the West and settled there as a farmer had been treated in comparison with his brother who had settled in the East and began manufacturing. The Senator from Minnesota . whose State has upward of 150.000 of these foreignborn citizens. nearly all of them farmers. may explain to them when he gets home where they come in under these tariff schedules. and what good protection does them unless this bounty feature is incorporated in the bill. and the Senators from those other Western States will have an opportunity to explain why they will vote here against this proposition to give compensation to the American producer on the farm when we hear so much about conipensatory duties for the woolen manufacturer by reason of the tax that is given in these schedules here to the wool producer. Why are these men to be left out in the cold?
