Forcing Figures to Talk Falsehoods in Tariff Debate

The editorial rebuts a critic over savings bank data used to compare free trade and protection. It argues the piece misinterprets savings growth, notes deposit figures for 1850–1860 under Walker tariff and 1870–1880 under protection, and contends protection harms the working class while distortions inflate deposit gains. It concludes by tying per capita wealth gains to tariff policy and labor earnings.
