The present bill is a wandering freetrade orphan. upon which there has not been a hearing. and which does not even contain the tariffforrevenue principle. The American farmer is a protectionist. and when you admit meat free. flour free. and farm products free you strike a blow at his industry. The American laborer is a protectionist. and when you admit articles manufactured by foreign pauper labor in direct competition with his skill and industry you strike a blow at him. Much has been said about the efficiency of the foreign laborer. I hope that the American laborer will not be obliged to do more than a fair days work. and that for this he will receive his full share of the profits.
