OF protective tariff as unfair in TAX

| Aldrich asked whether he supposed the
profits to American industries equaled
that amount, Mr. Bailey replied that in

poration he believed they had. and he
Icited the increased capitalization of that
| organization as an evidence of enor-
nous profit. Mr.. Bailey discussed his
amendment providing for an income tax
which was criticized by Mr. Aldrich as
tending to reduce the protection that
would be given American labor if il
should result in a proportionate de-
Icrease of customs duties. Mr.. Bailey
favored restriction of immigration as a
protection to American Labor ~ Mr.. Aid
rich retorted that. while Mr.. .-fley was
ready to keep the foreign laborer from
our shores. he was not averSe to al
