Free Trade Debate Letters from Geo Longmans
George Longmans argues for tariff reform toward free trade in a March 1, 1886 letter to the editor of an Iowa paper. He contends public opinion shifts toward revenue tariffs, criticizes protectionist demagoguery, cites Cobden Club and Cobden Club rhetoric, defends England as a trading partner, and urges removing duties to let England compete with American prices at home and abroad.
