Reciprocity Speech Spurs Reform League in 1869 Meeting
John W. Candler urges a Revenue and Financial Reform League at Chickering Hall on April 20, 1869. He argues tariffs cut Boston from Canada and the interior, calls for reciprocity treaties with North American states, and presses coal, lumber, and potato trade with Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to lower costs and boost regional commerce. He lists reform resolutions favoring revenue duties over protectionism and a sound currency.
