McKinleyism Debate Over Knit Goods Tariff Blunder
The Post reports on Judge Lacombe's ruling enlarging duties on knit underwear under the McKinley bill. The piece accuses Reed's Congress of reckless, rushed passage and links knit goods duty to industry protection. It argues the knit clause uplifted costs 20 to 50 percent, harming consumers and reflecting legislative capture by wool manufacturers and wool growers. The article notes missed amendments and Senate delays tied to the force bill.
