Excerpt from Wages and the Tariff
My address in the joint debate with Representative Benjamin Butterworth, at Tremont Temple, Boston, March 24, 1888, has been severely criticised. I am much obliged to my critics, and have learned a great deal from their articles. I have omitted from the body of the speech as published, or have indicated by a footnote, every statement in the original speech which has been contradicted; and I request every candid reader to consider whether the omission has impaired in the slightest degree the force of the argument, I print in an appendix the portions which have been contradicted, with some additional statistics which throw light upon the subject, and which will, I hope, convince those who take pains to examine them, that my original statements were substantially correct. I will add that the statements which have been challenged were made as the result of careful examination of the subject for many years; and that I solicit the most thorough investigation of them, only requesting my readers to remember that the contradiction of a single statement, even if sustained, does not involve necessarily the validity of the argument which the statement was meant to illustrate.
