Hughes Talks Protection in the 10 Nebraskaans
In the interest of labor to govern ment by hold-up, I am for government by reason and fairness. Prosperity built on land. No thoughtful American can view our present economic condition with out serious apprehension. We are under the unhealthy stimulus of the European War. Hopes are raised which cannot be fulfilled. Our present prosperity is built on sand. Our experts have jumped to fabulous figures because of the withdrawal from production of the millions of men abroad, who are engaged in fighting. Our trade is not determined by normal competition, but by an abnormal European want. What will be our condition when the war is over. A large amount of labor employed at high wages will lose that employment. The change will be reflected in diminished purchasing power. We shall not simply lose opportunities for labor. We shall have active competition from foreign production. That production will be more skilled and better organized in nations now at war. Nations will seek to protect their economic independence and our markets. It is manifest we cannot meet the postwar situation without the sensible use of the protecting power of government. Our opponents scouted a protective tariff. They offer a tariff commission, but commissions do not legislate. It is Congress that legislates.
