Washington Letter and tariff critique from 1908
Washington Letter argues Republicans ignore tariff issues while trusts manipulate prices. It cites steel rails sold to Britain for 22 and to Americans for 28 per ton, wire nails and sewing machines priced higher in the US, and a Standard Oil fine nullified. The piece claims trusts own the Republican Party and judges, urging voters to turn them out.
