Oh. protect the American laborer by keeping the tariff wall so high that nothing that is made by foreigners can come into this country! I will just suggest to the gentleman that within six months. up to January 1 of this year. nearly 735.000 foreigners have landed on the American shores to compete with the very men he was so solicitous about eight months ago. Now. they want to let down the immigration walls and allow them all to come in. So I do not believe he was sincere when he said eight months ago that he wanted to protect the American laborer. I believe he did not want to protect anybody but the American manufacturer. and I think the American laboring class will put a proper tag on the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
