The Farmers and the Tariff in 1840s Ohio
A Cincinnati Chronicle editorial argues for protective tariffs to aid farmers and manufacturers alike. It warns free trade would shrink markets as mechanics and farmers compete, reducing consumers and driving both into poverty. Ohio’s 1842 wheat surplus and a push against bank credit are cited. The piece defends self reliance and domestic production against Locofoco direct taxation and British/French markets.
