McKinley in Athens tariff issue looms in speech
The Meigs county MeSsEnGe prints large portions of Hon. William McKinley's Athens City Hall address Sept. 21. He criticizes the Democratic administration, defends protective tariffs, and argues for a national tariff policy that aids farmers and workers while opposing free wool and broad free trade. The piece links tariffs to revenue and domestic industry, cites past debates, and urges support for the Republican ticket led by General James Robinson and General Charles Groevenor.
