Impossibility OF Free Trade.

The average man does not go deep
enough into the tariff question TO un.
derstand the details, but he knows in
a general way that to open the markets
OF the United States to the cheap labor
OF the world would put most OF our
manufacturing establishments out OF
commission and bring an amount OF
misery and distress to our working
people that would be appalling, The
world outside of the United States is
large. There are millions OF people
whose living does not cost them 80
cents a week, and countries where
four cents day is considered good
wages. Some of these people are
skilled in all sorts of handiCrafts. I'm.
der free trade their products would be
brought here in almost unlimited quan.
titles. Our own artisans, accustomed
to high standard Of living could not
possibly compete with people who
scarcely realize that time has any
value. and the result would be disas.
