Potato Protection and Tariff Debate in New Hampshire
The American Protective Tariff league highlights that last year’s potato price at a New Hampshire shipping point reached 837 cents per bushel, up from 70 cents in 1892, blaming the Wilson bill. McKinley supporters counter that the Wilson bill, not to become law until July, cut last year’s price by 33 cents, while both 1892 and 1898 crops were protected by the McKinley tariff. The piece argues the fall shows the tariff’s failure to protect farmers.
