Letter From Canada and the Tariff Debate
A reader’s 1884 Canada correspondence recounts travel woes with late trains and redress, then shifts to Henry Ward Beecher’s Herald interview on tariff reform. Beecher argues for low tariffs and revenue-only protection, warning against overprotection and urging cross‑party support for tariff reform. He predicts silent voters shifting to Democrats if they adopt free raw materials and a sliding scale.
