Yet I am told. Mr. President. by a government expert. that while there seems to be in a few of the items some reduction. when taken as a whole there are.no substantial reductions from the duties imposed in the Dingley bill. and now we are informed by the Finance Committee. and by a majority of the Senators. since this schedule has been adopted. that these poor little infant industries. which are mainly controlled by the steel trust. need protection from the pauper labor of Europe. It is by reason of the protection afforded in these schedules that these monopolies have been en.abled to rob the people by these extortionate and unreasonable prices. The duties are practically prohibitory. and there is very little competition.
