German tariff harms German workers and widens class gap
United States Consul General Mueller and German socialist leader Bebel dispute high bread duties. They cite rising living costs, stagnant wages, and growing inequality as evidence that grain taxes depress workers and benefit landowners. Wages remain low across regions, with many earning 300 to 500 marks annually. Removal of grain duties is urged as just and humane.
