Protective Tariff Rally Promotes Permanent Prosperity
A speech by Secretary Redfield before the Chamber of Commerce in Hamilton Ohio on February 24 1914 argues the Underwood tariff fails. He cites 1912 1913 import data for cattle corn oats and fresh meat to show wartime profit not lasting and urges a permanent protective tariff to shield farmers and workers from postwar downturn. The Republican platform ties tariff to prosperity and urges voting for Hughes Fairbanks and GOP slate in Indiana.
