I protest against increased rates on such products as are not imported to any extent and require no protection. I have been perfectly consistent. I believe that it is necessary to have a protective tariff on manufactured goods. on some raw materials. that require a compensatory duty to cover the difference in the cost of production In this country and other countries--the difference in American wages and European or Asiatic wages. I protest against tariff on commodities not in competition with foreign goods and given solely for the purpose of increasing prices. Do not force this tariff increase now. I tell you that we are going to fight it out.
