JtIt is not too late to do it now. The scheme embodied in this bilP can not help but increase production and aggravate the present existing situation. It i& admitted by some that this: bill is unsound in principle. but thatit should! pass. because we- have protected the manufacturer and labor with. the protective tariff and labor with animmigration restriction law: The immigration law does incidentally protect labor- and its wages. The primary purpose of .restricting immigration was not to protect labor. but to protect -American institutions by preventing the bringing in of people here too fast to be assimilated. As for the policy of protection. that applies to the farmer as well as to the manufacturer. We all know how promptly the emergency tariff bill was passed following the inauguration of President Harding.
