They have been so Interested in somebody elses standing that they have sadly neglected their own. They have forgotten that in the Underwood tariff bill. a Democratic measure. they voted for a substantial import tariff on sugar. molasses. honey. figs. grapes. lemons. pineapples. tobacco. household and kitchen furniture. table and kitchen utensils. blacksmiths tools. grindstones. soaps. pens. ink. perfumery. steel and iron. every manufactured article of cotton goods used by a farmer and every article manufactured out of wool used by our producers. while they left on the free list bractically all of the products raised on the American farms and ranches. In other words. they forced our American producers to sell all of their products on a free market competing with the cheap peon and coolie labor of the whole world. and tWen forced them to buy all of their necessities on a protected market. I deny that this is Democratic. Such an arrangement may suit my colleague Mr.
