The Batesville Indiana Tribune notes local rates for reading notices and obituaries while publishing a political editorial praising current tariffs. It condemns ill advised imports and urges supporting domestic iron and steel industry, contrasting Cleveland era unemployment with modern industrial activity.
In earlier days the nation sent gold abroad to buy English rails at ninety dollars a ton while vast iron ore remained untapped. Now tariffs protect domestic production and American mines supply superior steel rails for twenty eight dollars a ton, provoking criticism of free trade advocates.
The passage argues that spending abroad harms American workers by reducing employment and purchases at home. It contends English goods deprive Americans of jobs and hurt merchants farmers and manufacturers. It calls on Congress to legislate for the American people only.
Representative Korbly of Indianapolis says Democrats favor a revenue tariff and claim production costs should not influence tariff making. He asserts Democrats would allow cheaper German goods at $1.90 while American made goods lose in price, arguing for brutal frankness toward American labor.
The piece notes increased labor demand this spring due to improving times, thriving business, and capital investment in dormant ventures. It questions whether further gains would follow under free trade or broader reductions.
The passage argues that free trade and low revenue tariffs hurt the U.S. by diverting production abroad. When goods are made overseas, American workers lose jobs, factories shut, and national wealth shifts abroad, leaving Americans poorer while foreign countries grow richer.
