I am going to vote as I have done before for import duties or a tax on vegetable oils that come into our American markets to help beat down the price of cottonseed oil. I am going to vote for a tariff tax against foreign graphite and for a tax on foreign peanuts. I am not willing for the pauper labor of Europe that can produce vegetable oils and peanuts in abundance to ship them here on boats which charge but a small ocean freight rate and undersell those who produce cottonseed oil and other vegetable oils and peanuts in our own country and put them out of business. I am not going to do that. I may be at cross purposes with some of the members of my party. I want to be consistent. I do not intend that any foreign country. by sending their people here in person. shall take the places of Americans and drive from employment the laboring men and women of our country. I am not going to permit them to produce commodities there by pauper labor or economic slave conditions and ship them here and put our wage earners and farmers out of business in the homeland. Now. that is my position upon that phase of the question. and I stand ready to defend it here and elsewhere. Mr.

European laborers are described as 'pauper labor' that undercuts American workers.
