Income and Protection in Prices Over Thirty Years
A historical analysis compares price levels under protection and free trade across decades. The author uses Dun’s index and Aldrich figures to show wholesale prices for textiles, coal, steel, and other goods from 1870 to 1902, arguing protection boosted consumer prices by about half while wages rose, yielding mixed gains for workers. The piece also notes a 1902 context with meat and coal spikes and mentions a Denver church resignation and Panama events in brief notices.
