I am certainly glad to hear it. I would be delighted to see your bills go to the White House and be vetoed by that great President. so that we may make an issue in this country of whether we will maintain the American protective tariff system or pass your tariffforrevenue bills. which do not mean protection for our manufacturers and the wage earners. Had our friends on the other side of this Chamber passed the reciprocity bill. provided an increased pension for the hundreds of thousands of deserving heroes who saved the Republic. and who are passing away at the rate of 100 per day. and enacted a law for the restriction of undesirable foreign immigration. they would have swept this country and the opening of campaign headquarters would have been unnecessary. This is especially true if you would have placed at the head of your ticket that great man who presides with dignity and impartiality over this body as your candidate.
