Mr. President. with respect. however. always for those who differ from me. that the prosperity of industry in factory and on farm in America rests upon adequate protection as against imports from other countries of the east or of the west. I speak with some feeling upon that subject because we on the Pacific coast were the first to sound the alarm against oriental immigration. We were opposed to such immigration and we are opposed to the products of the cheap labor of the Orient coming into competition -with American production. We can not compete with them. Does my friend from South Dakota agree with the learned Senator from Tennessee . who told us that the farmer was not benefited at all or appreciably by the tariff rates?
