Wealth and tariffs raise questions in old letters
In letters from 1884, writers question where wealth lies amid tariff history from 1841 to 1881, noting a 90 percent per poll rise under revenue tariff versus 15 percent under protection, and asking a protectionist to explain the remaining 57 percent after wartime costs. A reader of the Post asks whether the Journal protested ministerial appointments or party candidates on moral grounds, while a critic labels the Journal and its own paper as ghoulish and scandal prone.
