In the manufacture Of carpets aud cheap
fabrics. lie was protectionist 60 the
extent OF giving To the labor Of the coun-
try all the protection It needed 10 COM
pete With foreign labor. lie WAS In Ia.
vor Of high prices for American labor.
God forbid that he would ever consent 20
putting American labor on par with the
paupcr labor OF any couotry, but he was
Ia favor Of giving 20 labor
raw material that would enable
II 10 compete with ANY couniry.
In en- dlusion TO the knights OF Labor he
said that thu organization, provided a.
adhered 20 the principles on which u was
fou ded, would DO The longest lived and
with the most hentAeent results OF any
Organization since the world began lie
was IN favor OF fair revision ana an
Immediate one He was Ia favor OF such
revision as would not permit an annual
surplus OF Si00, 600, 600 He was ready
when any such bin was pre-
sensed 10 take M every article
on the list aud adjust each one in way
that would give protection 70 the labor
employed In thu various industries. Then
he would apply 10 every industry the
same principle that had been applied 10
the silk manufacturing industry. There
were about 100 SILK miles In the city OF
Patterson, n. J Their raw materials
were admitted free OF duty, aud the con.
sequence Was that no moro prosperous
manufacture could be found anywhere.
Patterson to-day was selling silR at
Lyons, France, the very heart oi
the ullk manufacturers Of the world.
Why was not the Same principle applied
TO he hatlers OF New York; II these
10, 900 operatives had their raw material
free they would Il od the world with
cheap hats, This was
THE DEMOCRATIC PoLtCY,
the American policy, the policy which be
wanted TO see engrstted In tho next tariff
bill, He was opposed to the starving of
these 10000 hat operatives in New York
IN order 10 support lfty musk-rat trap,
pers on the shores Of Hackensaok river,
Mr. NJ ,rrill moved the reference OF his
resolution 20 the committee on lnauce.
Mr.. Beck opposed such reference aud
suggested that the senators on both sides
should urge on their friends In the house
to pass some tarifi measure so as Ca hrtng
the question before the senate In some
practical manner, and thus open the doors
any scheme, He wanted tho taxos re-
duced. lie believed before this country
acquired the commercial position IL was
entitled TO, IT must carry It's own
products on It's own ships, and
81 could not do 80 as long az
IL had 10 pay 30 per cent. more
on every bolt and piece OF cOrdage In a
ship than competitors had to pay. The
reuewal otsthu tax on tobacco or sugar
would not open single manufacturing
establishment In the United States. Such
things were only suggested for The pur
pose OF preventing anything being done
TO engage the manufacturing powers and
send manufactured products Rhr0ad. The
men who owned the manufactures were
content with the present market. With
all their pretonc1s OF aiding labor
they intended TO keep the mar.
kot TO themselves, charging what
they liked aud TO let their lnborers starve
rather than Rfye them 0 cliunce Of al ax-
tended market by which they could have
employment twelve months IN the year
instead ns now Of four OF Ave months.
He wanted chance TO argue the ques-
tlon and to show that the protectionlsts
we're merely robbing the lab0rers whom
they were pretending to befrlend. He
would 20 MS far ms any man TO protect
American labor. He wanted 20 give
TO labor constant employment.
He protested against the resolution beng
taken from before the senate until he and
other men who thought with him
should have a chance 70 ray what they
thought about II.
MIR Morrill, said he would he the last
man to cut OF tho senator from Ken
lucky from an opportunity Of making
speech on the tarin. lie therefore would
not press his motion TO refer.
