Former Massachusetts governor W L Douglas argues that tariff policy drove price increases after 1897 with trusts pushing costs higher. He cites specific price jumps in wire nails barb wire tin plate and window glass as examples of tariff impact. He contrasts farm goods price rises after 1900 and warns that gold depreciation also played a role.

President Taft’s Parisian Rail Valuation Frustration
Roosevelt repeatedly urged physical valuation of railroads to benchmark rates but Taft rejected this approach. The piece argues that without valuation the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot set fair rates, cites the Nebraska rate case, and condemns Republican insiders and financiers for obstructing progressive railroad reform. It also critiques Wickersham and Ballinger for conflicts of interest, notes Senate loyalties, and asserts tariff cuts as a path to lower living costs.
