Tariff Tax Alleged as Consumer Duty in McKinley Debate
The piece argues that tariffs are taxes paid by consumers, citing Brown v. Maryland and examples from Marshall Field Co and Armour. It questions why refunds occur, such as 99 percent on tin imports, and why building materials for Chicago relief were taxed if foreigners pay. It references Wanamaker and congressional actions, framing the tariff as a consumer tax in defense of protectionism.
