Low Wheat and High Tariff in McKinley Era Critique
The piece argues that high tariffs harm western farmers by keeping prices for wheat low at tidewater and abroad. It accuses protectionists of promising a thriving home market while failing to realize steadier demand, noting price declines since the 1860s and blaming foreign competition and tariff policy for reduced earnings.

Free trade vs Wheat Prices and Farmer Risk
A reader explains that under current tariffs a farmer trades $100 wheat for $100 goods but must pay $50 tax and $60 more wheat to reclaim those goods, effectively paying $150 in wheat for $100 in goods. He suggests trying free trade to see if he can keep the full $100 value and have $50 wheat left for other exchanges. The piece argues the arithmetic favors free trade for the farmer.
