Importers Oppose Protection.
The importer Of foreign made

were the basis of trouble in the anti
protective tariff movement; they
we're the head and front of the ones
who melted the agitation adverse to
the protection given IN the Payne
law: they are the ones who give vent
TO the specious cries against the tariff
that deceive the uninformed. They
are the ones who, for their own gains
would crowd down the American
worldngman to the level OF foreign

/ Appeal of Indepe ndent Manufacturers
The opponents of the protective
tariff principle declare that the PAYNE
law was framed 10 protect the trusts,
and parrot-lille, many others have re-
peated the declaration, regardless Of
the fact that 1t lacks the element of
truth. From my own personal knowl-
edge. ! tell YOU that 1t was the inde-
pendent manufacturers of this coun-
try who pleaded for the higher rates.
1t was the thousand small concerns
whose business was hanging in the
balance. IT was the struggling manu-
facturerS that | was interested in. It
was their statements that were lis
tenod to, pleading for their very eX-
istence. They showed plainly how
Tie great trusts could survive at
rates that would ruin them. So. fel-
