Free trade scare tactics cited over Payne tariff debate
The piece criticizes newspapers with free trade leanings for alarming the public over the Payne tariff bill and potential rises in hosiery and knit goods prices. It contrasts protectionist views with French and German competition, urges calm, and cites Des Moines Hosiery as proof of cheap cotton knitwear. It also attacks Governor Carrell critic, gambling laws, and town revisionists regarding tariff schedules.
