upon the free list raw materials (so-
called); and, second, in failing to pro-
vide for duties that are protective upon
manufactures, the products of labor.
j must not stop to attempt aydiscus-
sion at length of that which needs no
demonstration, namely, that in, all the
world where man exists there is moth
ing in use which can truthfully be called
raw materials. Robinson Crusoe found
raw materials in his ocean isle. butfin
the absence of his labor they would
have remained such, and he would have
starved. The fruit on the tree, tempt
ing and luscious, has no value until
there is added the labor OF its plucking.
In this great universe. where no atom
is added or lost il the general sum, the
single and only source OF wealth is
labor. Let me illustrate briefly. What
is a steel rail? That piece of metal
nent, yokes state to state, and makes
one our eastern and western seas. 1t
stands for human labor. 1t is the last
finished product of three rud stones in
she hill-a black stone, coal; q red
stone, ore; q white stone, limestone.
The value of a ton of steel rails in the
hill is not to exceed 81 so to 50 90. HUI
man labor opens the mine to the sun
light; human labor releases the stone
AAS 80 Att ~ - ~
onto the cars, built by human labor,
that human labor transports yer high
ways constructed by humnn labor to
the great mill built by human labor, at
the instance of capital, which is but
human labor stored up, and thence
through all the various needed pro-
cesses human labor adds value until
the finished rail results, 90 per cent or
more human labor, and worth many
times the value of the elements of
which it is composed.
This, the elemental factorin all civili-
cations, is the factor that this bill would
strike down. And remember that
American labor has a place all its own,
apart in character, value and results
from that of any other country under
the sun.
Elsewhere it is a question OF dollars
and cents; with us in the great repub-
lie, founded on manhood suffrage, it is
not a question of money alone; it
reaches beyond the domain of dollars
to homes and hearth stones and into the
domain OF morals and government.
There is not a single industry in
which we compete with our fellows over
seas in which our laborers do not reap
richer rewards than their fellow-toilers
abroad.
Read the testimony OF these mon ask
ing us for fair play before the ways and
means committee, and then read the
schedules of this bill, and you can not
fail of the conviction that the subject
you are dealing with to-day is in the
lest analysis the subject of American
labor.

There was bay upon his forehead,

Through the crimson field of fame,
Yet from his breast at midnight,
When the throng had ceased to cheer,
He took q faded blossom
And kissed it with q tear.
Alittle fadedviolet.

But more than fame
Or loud acclaim
He priced itg faded blue.

And we've all some little keepsake
Where 40 eye can ever mark,
