When they go "beyond that point, and as they increase the duties the revenue is diminished or destroyed, the act ceases to have for its object the raising of n;oncy to support Government, but is for protec tion merely." What is this but a rule to favour foreigners and break down Americans? The moment the Ameri can by his superior industry and skill begins to succeed, then the duty must come down so as to inctease foreign imports and revenue. This is tho plain and inevitable operation of the rule, and who would go into manufacturing under such an anti-American rule as this, making it death by the law certain and inevitable.
