No Benefit but an Injury Says Robert Bleakie on Wool Tariff
A letter from Hyper Park Mass dated Aug 16 1889 responds to wool tariff questions from the United Question Clubs. Bleakie argues the wool tax harms manufacturers and workers, not farmers, urging free raw material to aid New England industry. He cites Wool Reporter statistics, cites 1882 sheep totals and global comparisons, and condemns protectionist pledges as political.
