New England. for 130 years. has been the beneficiary of the protective tariff. which siphoned out the wealth of the agricultural interests of our Nation. We have also given subsidies since then to the railroads. to the merchant marine. to banking interests. to farming interests. and it is also necessary to subsidize the natural resources of our country. like silver and gold. I contend that subsidy. either directly or indirectly. is a necessity for us to bring prosperity to all sections of the Nation. including labor. through restrictive immigration. which has been the formula of various administrations in the past.
