Pound of Flesh in Tariff Debate Sees Protection as Monopoly

Congressman W L Wilson of West Virginia argues in a St Louis Republic letter that the McKinley tariff for iron and steel is a monopoly tax. The American Economist frames protection as duties covering the cost difference between home and abroad, with rail and pig iron figures detailed to show how the tariff over protects US producers.

Tariff Monopolies and Cross Border Smuggling Spur Reciprocity

A Boston Herald excerpt argues the tariff system creates rail monopolies and high prices, urging broad reciprocity with Canada. It notes Maine border smuggling between Eastport Calais and St Stephen shows free trade benefits and questions justice of tariffs.

Keeping the tariff profit in steel rails and beans

The piece argues that tariff protections fail to force lower domestic prices. It cites steel rail makers maintaining high prices via a trust and a $13.44 duty, and California Lima bean prices collapsing after a boosted duty. It contends protected monopolies resist outside competition and harm farmers through inflated costs.

Lead Duty in McKinley Tariff Benefits Colorado Producers

The McKinley tariff imposed 144 cents per pound on lead content in silver-lead ores from Mexico to benefit Colorado, Utah, and Montana producers by raising lead prices. Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois smelters opposed, fearing plant shutdowns or relocation to Mexico. Historian Rothwell notes a brief period in 1891 of market developments.

McKinley bill harms western silver and lead mines

The excerpt argues the McKinley tariff worsened lead and silver mining in the west. It describes rising charges on smelting, Mexico’s shift to domestic smelting, a Mexican export duty on high grade ores, and cascading job losses as plate glass and related industries suffer under protectionist policy.

Reciprocity Dispute Highlighted in Tariff Debate

The piece critiques U S policy toward Britain on reciprocity while noting exports to the United Kingdom exceed those to all other nations combined. It mocks tariff advocates, cites Venezuela and Brazil deals, and discusses wool price declines under the McKinley tariff with a San Antonio wool grower’s view urging repeal to raise prices.
