Farmers against tariff fight in protection era
The article argues a strong case for protective tariffs to aid American farmers by sustaining home demand and reducing reliance on imports. It cites export/import figures for 1886–1888, notes the share of wheat and corn used domestically, and highlights how domestic manufacturing and farming should grow together, with emphasis on West and South support and Chicago as a key industry hub. It quotes S. M. Cullom and reflects on McKinley tariff benefits to both farmers and domestic producers.
