A historical column argues that glass and paint dealers revolt against high duties on imported glass, urging a tariff reduction to relieve consumers and treasury strain. It contrasts political figures Harrison and McKinley, questions colonial policy, and critiques the Havahuence treaty and ship subsidy ideas as fiscally risky and favoring private gain over public good.
