Tariff reform debate spans protection and free trade
Governor Cummins defends a selective tariff aimed at shielding infant industries while opposing duties for established producers that already compete with foreign goods. The piece contrasts protectionist aims with current Republican reformers and highlights disputes within the Democratic Party over Cuban reciprocity and a merged Des Moines newspaper. It notes the death of Dr Edward H Kinney and the consolidation of The Register and Leader.
