You promised them protection for American labor by your tariff. Now. incorporate in that tariff a provision which will protect them by keeping their competitors at home in Europe instead of only levying tariff duties on the articles which that labor produces abroad. What is the difference between the pauper labor of Europe transported to America and the pauper labor of Europe in Europe? You are sinking your labor to the level of the labor of Europe by allowing free trade in labor where you demand protection against the products of foreign labor. You can not deny the proposition or the honesty or truth of it.
