The euphonistic expression. "to encourage domestic industries." has long since lost its deceptive charm. It has too often been used to fool and deceive. and protection and the home market have done their duty so long without adequate returns that they no longer beguile the people. The cheap foreign pauper labor and its products have been "scarecrows set to frighten fools" so long that they have lost all significance. Their rags and tatters maybe labeled wool. leather. mules. and horses. and garlanded with the necessaries of life. but beneath them all will be visible the cross sticks of the scarecrow which trusts and monopolies use to oppress and rob the people of their substance. What has become of the untaxed breakfast of the laboring man. which garlanded the scarecrow after the McKinley bill?
