McKinley on tariff lines for protection and prosperity
In a rousing speech in Ottumwa Iowa, McKinley argues that a protective sixty percent tariff on imported glass and similar goods sustains American jobs, boosts the treasury, and fosters domestic industries. He contrasts protective and revenue tariffs, warns against free trade, and cites local industry success stories to urge voters to back tariffs that favor American producers.
