Hamlin on the Free List Relief in Congress Debate
The speech argues for free imports on farm necessities as a remedy to protectionist policy. It defends the Canada reciprocity measure, asserts tariffs do not raise farmer prices, and cites market prices fixed abroad to support free trade. It highlights political record and governance changes while addressing farm interests and public debt.

Free List Bill Benefits Farmers Amid Tariff Debate
In a heated tariff discussion, proponents argue the bill would place agricultural implements, fencing wire, salt, and lumber on the free list to aid farmers, offsetting high tariffs. They contrast Democratic support with Republican resistance, claim trusts profit from current tariffs, and warn of political consequences if the bill stalls in the Senate or White House. The speech labels several industries as trusts and asserts the bill would ease living costs for urban and rural residents alike.
