manufacturers but the majority of American congressmen congress-men derate them as enemies of the country As a result of free trade Englands record of agriculture is a record of disaster Under protection pro-tection the trade of the United States from 1870 to 1880 increased nearly four times as much as that of England and from 1880 to 1890 it was more than seven times greater The speaker showed the advantages of reciprocity re-ciprocity The wealth of the country was in production and strength in the producers The consumers only should not be considered they consti tute an insignificant and unimportant faction of the community We should first secure a home market and then increase the outside trading Protection Protec-tion and invention enables us to pay the highest wages Lower the price of necessities and raise the standard of living To abandon protection would be to lower wages and the standard of living and increase the worlds prices by withdrawing American competition The reduction of wages thus far is trifling compared with the reduction reucton under free trade He had no fear of the ultimate result believing that in the end we would not cast aside that which protected us from our deadly competitors races with p lower standard stand-ard of living Senator Lodge concluded his speech at 430 with an eloquent peroration which was warmly applauded
