The Wage Question and Tariff Reform Debate
The piece argues against protectionism, citing William L. Wilson on wages, labor organization, and immigration. It contrasts free markets with protected industry costs, discusses wage effects, and notes Troy opposition to the Wilson bill. It references labor unrest and shifts in labor and capital relations in the iron and steel sectors.
Steel Rates and Carnegie’s Satisfaction With Duty
The piece argues that Carnegie is content with a 25 percent ad valorem duty on steel rails, claiming the Wilson bill’s nominal cut does not lower prices or government revenue. It portrays Johnson as a radical free trader citing a steel rail pool dominated by Carnegie, keeping prices at about 24 dollars per ton despite production costs under 19 dollars.
