Gear’s tariff claim challenged in broad political recap
The piece rebukes Congressman Gear for reviving the 1857 tariff panic theory and for linking Benjamin Harrison to his 1840 grandfather’s platform. It argues the 1540 Wing convention produced no platform and that 1837 panic stemmed from bank collapse, not tariffs, while noting 1873’s panic followed peak protective tariffs and long economic hardship.
