Of course it was never intended to benefit the manufacturer. according to your argument. The manufacturer. the man who reaps the benefit from a protective tariff. has been sedulously excluded from the argument. but the tariff was to reach its strong arms around the laboring men and protect them and their families. You said to them in 1896 that you wanted this country protected from the pauper laborer of Europe and the manufactured articles of pauper labor. and yet by annexation you will open wide the door to an endless horde of nondescript population that can come to your very doors in spite of all you can do. in deadly contact with the laborer of this country. debasing the civilization of himself and his family. You will simply move the factory from the United States to Manila and the Hawaiian Islands. And what. too. will become of the Chineseexclusion acts?
