Ten years of protection in New England iron and steel
A historical critique of tariff protection for New England iron and steel mills from 1860 to 1890. It argues protection reduced workers and wages while boosting production value and owner profits, showing the burden on labor and the growth of trusts and tariffs as mechanisms of private gain. It cites a 14,500-strong protected mill sector, tax impacts, and Congressional roles, ending with a call to recognize tariff reform.
