Massachusetts Tariff Debate Highlights Wool Industry Struggles
In Clinton Massachusetts speakers William J. Russell and John W. Corcoran rail at Republicans over tariff policy, decryting a protective wool and carpet tax that burdens Clinton's mills. They argue free wool would boost production, defend mass industries, and recount mill closures and layoffs under McKinley era duties while urging a shift to cheaper raw materials.
