No tariff is placed on labor In this bill. No restriction whatever is placed in this or any other tariff bill on the importation of cheap foreign labor. On the contrary. a short time ago. when I and nearly every other Democrat voted to restrict foreign immigration. many of the gentlemen on the other side. who are now demanding protection for the American manufacturers. were then protesting against closing our doors to the foreigners with their cheap labor. Protesting their zeal for the protection of American labor. many of them voted against the measure which provides the only rational means for this protection. So it is with agriculture.
