Debate on Tariffs and Raw Material Costs in 19th Century Trade

The piece argues that removing duties on raw materials would boost manufacturing and farm prosperity by lowering production costs and expanding markets. It cites 1880 data showing materials cost about 65 percent of product value and wages about 14 percent, and contends a 10 percent material cost cut could cut final prices significantly. The author urges a coalition of protectionists and reformers to end this deadlock and cites Common Sense and Swinburne to frame the discussion.
