SENATOR sPooNER.
have set here day after day, weel
after weck, voting fair protective dute
upon articles in which my state and N,
people have no direct interest. keeping
in mind the larger interest of the who'll
country and of its labor. not limiting
my view to the lines of the state which
sent me here.
Tho people Of Wisconsin make, for cx
ample, no pottery. so far as / know, bu
that is q great industry in New Jersey
employing vast capital and labor.
have not been willing. Mr.. President
that it should be overslaughed either a
to that capital or as to the interest 0
that labor by throwing down the barrie
which alone prevents an influx of tha
product made by capital carrying low
er rate Of interest and labor earning IN
fnitely less in other lands.
The people of Wisconsin have no di
rect interest in the duty on rice, but
voted for a duty to protect the rice farm
er in the general interest in it's relatio
to the system under which we have pros
pcred. and in which | believe. If tn
principle is to be abandoned. however
by each one whose local interest doe
not seem to be directly subserved ther
