There are those who are pointing to the foreign nations and pretending to shiver over what they are saying about this tariff. Most of this howl comes from American manufacturers who were so patriotic (?) that they established factories in countries where they could hire workers at pauper wages. and. of course. resent a duty on goods made on the starvation basis. These manufacturers wanted to beat the United States immigration laws and also to put Americans. working at the same kind of production. on an equality with the poorly paid people in their factories abroad. Let the foreign countries recognize that those who work are human beings. pay them better wages. and enable them to raise their standard of living. and then they might have some justification for an outcry. We are making this tariff for the American people. and making it on the principle of protecting our workers and keeping American markets for American enterprise and industry.
