The Senator states that we are confronted in debating this question with counter statements of fact. Thatis true. The ordinary charge made by the Republicans in framing the bill is that the pauper labor of Europe is so much -lower than ours that we must equalize conditions by imposing a protective tariff in this country against the introduction of the product of that foreign labor. The Senator from Wisconsin also states what is universally known. that the only evidence upon which the committees in charge of a tariff bill work is evidence springing from interested arties. and anyone who reads the evidence given on the one side y those clamorous for protection. and on the other side by the manufacturers who want materials imported free. will see the absolute verity of the statement of the Senator from Wisconsin. Now. there ought to be some way whereby this matter of fact could be settled.
