When you levy taxes on him in order. under the Republican theory. to build up home industries you ought at least to have in mind the protection of the consumer by still permitting enough competition to come In from abroad to prevent exorbitant prices being charged. That was the old thedry of the protectivetariff idea. and that was what made it so alluring to the American people. They were told time and again by Republicans on the -stump that all they wanted to do was. to make the tariff high enough to enable the American manufacturer to compete against the socalled pauper labor from abroad.. and now you are not satisfied with inaking the tariff high enough to enablethe American manufacturer to compete. You want the tariff so high as to exclude competition. You want the tariff so high as to give a monopoly in this country. and that is the vice of this whole bill.
