Germany. and Austria. for armor manufactured at home. and also the prices at which the United States. English. German. and French manufacturers have furnished armor for foreign governments. Mr. Speaker. we will here see firstclass plate was furnished to Russia at $249. Pauper labor of Europe is undersold by this infant industry which whines aloud for protection against foreign pauper labor. This protection plea you see is a palpable fraud. This report continues: These prices have ranged from $249 to $650 per ton. the cheapest firstclass armor in the list having been furnished to the Russian Government by the Bethlehem Company. and the highest in price. excepting some made in Italy.
