In my opinion. this bill is a failure as a revenue producer unless. indeed. we shall resort to the low wages for labor of foreign countries in order that we may successfully compete with a product produced with labor at onehalf or onethird the wages paid in this country. It is a failure. I believe. so far as benefiting the consumer is concerned. unless we do that same thingemploy pauper labor or labor at pauper scale of wages. As a protective measure the socalled wool bill would be a miserable failure. both as to sheep and wool growing and wool manufacturing. The tallk of wool and woolen tariff percentages sounds large but conveys to the listener or reader an entirely erroneous idea of the real charge against wool and woolens.
Identified stereotypes
Foreign labor is stereotyped as being low-wage and 'pauper' labor.
