There is no protection behind it. and if there was it would be inexcusable. because the farmer gets no benefit from the protective tariff. There is no way to protect the farmer except by giving him an export bounty. and both sides of the Chamber refuse to do that. Every sense of fairness. common justice. and decency would show that this tax should not be placed upon the farmer. as he alone of all the American laborers and American industries is left to compete with the cheap foreign pauper labor. We are turned loose to compete. We are competing today with as deadly competition as our manufacturing friends would compete with if we were under free trade.
