Labor, Puerto Rico tariff debate stirs 1900 campaign
A fiery House speech by Gen. Grosvenor argues for a 1.5 percent tariff on Puerto Rico imports and 15 percent on Dingley duties to shield U S labor from cheap overseas competition. He accuses sugar and tobacco interests of pressuring Congress, warns labor districts from Minnesota to California about wage erosion, and frames the issue as a constitutional clash over the flag and free trade.
