We do not want to pick out manufactured articles of the State of New York and protect them and let other items produced in other sections of the country go unprotected. I know the Senator would like to have free sugar because he has already stated on the floor of the Senate that that is what he is in favor of. but he is in favor of protecting many other commodities which are produced in the State of New York. one of the great industrial centers of the United States. I am not in favor of having free trade for New York nor any other State as to articles a tariff on which is necessary in order to protect the wage that we pay in this country against the pauper labor of other countries.
