LABOR.
We hold that the most efficient way
OF protecting American labor is to
prevent TIE importation al foreign |
pauper labor to compete with il in tht |
nome market, and That the value of |
the hCme market to our American |
farmers and artisans is greatly reduced
ny d VICIOUS monetary system which
Expresses the ppicQs uf their pruducts
below the cost Of production. and thus
1tprlNeS them of the means of pur-
the products Of our home
