But when there is an equality of production. and sometimes the lines of production verge very near together. is it possible that in violation of all laws of selfdefense we are to sit down and permit ourselves to be ruined by export bounties? We oppose any violation of the correct law of exchange when we place a retaliatory duty upon export bounties which would ruin us. Thatis my position: It is not grounded upon tariff. It is a law of selfpreservation. There is no parallel between giving an artificial aid by government in the shape of a large export bounty and of pretended protection against pauper labor. Labor conditions are natural conditions. soil conditions. climate conditions. are natural conditions. I contend that you can not equalize these conditions by legislation.
