I said. as the Senator would remember if he had been in the Chamber. that through a high protective tariff the principles of protection. to my mind. have made of America the greatest country that civilization has ever known. We pay in America higher prices for everything we get. we pay labor higher prices. We have new immigration laws which have restricted immigration. so there is an opportunity for labor to get the full measure of protection. The point I am making is that the farmer Is forced to pay a protective price for American labor. and then when he sells his surplus in foreign markets he sells in competition with cheaper labor. or what we might call freetrade labor. That is the point I am making.
