The Republican Party now as in the past stands on the protective tariff. We believe the markets of this great country of ours should be conserved for American agriculture. industry. and labor. We believe that the wages of labor in this country should be protected by limitation of immigration and by the limitation of competition in this market by limiting imports of foreign goods produced by cheap foreign labor. We believe that American capital invested in American industry and agriculture. which pays the taxes to run the Government of this country. is entitled to protection LXXV907 from destruction by imports of foreign commodities produced at much lower wages and living standards than maintain in the United States. As President Hoover has recently said. there never has been a time in the more than 300 years of the history of this country when the protectivetariff policy of this country was more essential to our wellbeing.
