Reading the process and politics of a Michigan congressman
A reader criticizes a prior Herald piece praising a Michigan congressman and argues the veteran supporter has shifted from anti free trade to pro progressives. The letter recalls his past votes with Cannon and Aldrich, notes iron ore duty cuts from 40 to 11 cents per ton under Payne Aldrich, and contrasts cheaper ore with higher prices on woolen and cotton goods, questioning proclaimed protection. It frames protection as harmful, likening it to charity and a failed economic model.
