I stop long enough to say that but for the imposition of a tariff these industries never would have been established in the United States. We put on a tariff to establish the iron industry. we put on one to establish the steel industry. and the cottonmanufacturIng industry. and the woolenmanufacturing industry. and the tinplate industry. and the pearlbutton industry. They and all these other industries have been established in the United States in the first instance because of the imposition of a protective tariff. and would not have been established aside from that. because they never could halve met the withering -and the blasting competition of the pauper labor of Europe but for the imposition -of a protective tariff.
