Democratic Tariff Critique of McKinley Law
The piece argues the Wilson tariff under Democratic leadership ran a persistent deficit over 29 months, contrasting it with McKinley’s tariff which allegedly produced a surplus. It cites figures on receipts and expenditures, contends the McKinley law delivered revenue and protection, and criticizes Democratic promises to raise revenue. It notes imports rose under Wilson and forecasts revenue improvements from new tariffs, while referencing Theodore Roosevelt era perspectives. It mentions St. Louis Globe-Democrat and Troy Times as sources.
