But what set up the machinery ? What caused the cotton factory to be built? Why, the tariff. So, then, the tariff built the mill, set up the machinery, the machinery increased the wages, but the tariff did not. Is not that very much like saying your father was your progenitor, but your grandfather wasn't. [Laugh- ter. ] How could you improve mrchinery you didn't have? How could you in- crease the efficiency^ machinery that didn't exist ? Perhaps now would be a good time to introduce the Chairma...n's yard of cassi- mere.
