Here again changing conditions invite a deviatiop in policy. Industrialization has had its effect. The competition of cheap foreign labor has been felt in your factories. Your industrial workers have sensed the dangers. and have become more articulate day by day in demanding some measure of protection. Domestic wage differentials emphasize foreign wage differentials. The products of Asiatic and European mills compete with the products of the South as well as those at the North. We urge a reasonable degree of protection for the workingman of both sections. This is not the first venture which you have been requested to make into the field of tariff legislation.
