Ah. more! The gentleman from New York agrees with our learned and distinguished President. who has become such an expert in tariff legislation. and who can so fluently criticize (car tariff bills after reading the speech of the gentleman from Illinois . But I want to call the Presidents attention to the fact that he ruts on the free list the tools of trade of every immigrant that comes into the United States. notwithstanding the iron and wood out of which they are made are taxed. and taxed heavily. in the Payne Act. Now. I say. God bless them! Let the immigrants coming into this country bring in their tools and give them an honest chance to earn their living. But this President who signed the Payne bill and allowed the immigrant from abroad to bring the tools of his trade Into the United States free is not willing to let the freeborn American citizen have the tools of his trade free of duty. Under the Payne Act certain shotgun barrels come in free. My distinguished friend from New York knows very well that the iron or the steel out of which a shotgun is made is of the most expensive quality made. and that it is taxed heavily.
