The trouble with the Democrats is that they generally advocate a protective tariff for the products of their own State. They generally do not advocate. but oppose. a protective tariff for products of other States. The distinguished gentleman from Louisiana made a very good Republican speech in favor of protection a few moments ago. In view of the gentlemans attitude on immigration I want to say that I believe the products of foreign labor coming into this country do more harm than the aliens we have coming here. I hope the gentleman from Florida will follow the distinguished gentleman from Louisiana and vote for a tariff bill which will protect the products of all of the States of our country from unfair competition of cheaply produced foreign products.
