I have no objection to lowering the tariff in trading with other nations that have the same standard of living as we have. Nations who pay the same wage to labor. But I object to bringing the American farmer. and the American laborer down to the low standard of living. or better no standard at all. of the LatinAmerican peon. or the Chinese and Japanese coolie. These unfortunate people wear a piece of cloth around the middle of their body for dress. and have a piece of leathersandals for shoesstrapped around their feet. They eat a bowl of rice or beans for their meal.
