I am here insisting upon this proposition. If the tariff schedule is to be maintained and duties to be levied on every single solitary thing on the face of the earth which is manufactured from this longstaple cotton. and the manufacturer is to be protected. if it is a good thing for him. why is it not a good thing for the man who toils in the sun and grows it. and furnishes the long cotton to the manufacturers? Our people. in other words. are tired of selling our stuff absolutely In competition with the pauper labor of Egypt. and every time our wives buy a little of this artificial silk that has beenexhibited this morning we pay an enormous tax. and we are buying our own goods. made from the lroiuct of our own.soil. That Is the whole question In a nutshell. as I see it. and that is why I am presenting this case in behalf of my constituents. Mr.
