Every man knows that we were legislating for special interests to get special profits. Think of the absurdity of a body of men such as the United States Senate is reputed to be legislating as we do and claiming that we are doing it for the benefit of American labor ! We put on this tariff under the guise of wanting American labor to have the benefit of protection igainst the competition of the pauper labor of Europe. Show me one line in this bill or in any tariff bill ever written where we have provided that the rise in price accruing by virtue of the tariff should be paid to the labor employed in producing the articles. There is not a line nor a suggestion of a line which smys that whatever additiomi price accrues shall go to labor. or shall even be divided with labor.
