Tariff debate argues for free trade over protection
Speech by Hon. H. Burchard in 1872 House argues that high tariffs burden consumers and farmers, favor manufacturers, and distort national wealth. He cites war tariffs, internal taxes, and pension bounties, contrasting exportable industries with nonprotected trades, and questions continued protection as unjust and uneconomical.
