Price of Wool Sparks Free Trade Debate Across Washington County
The Cannonsburg Herald reports a debate on wool prices between local Pennsylvania unwashed wool at 14 cents per pound and London market prices around 15 to 19 cents, arguing that under free trade Washington County farmers would face lower returns once costs and freight are considered. The piece cites a National Association table and Justice Bateman & Co, urging protection to preserve farm earnings and contrasting Harrison and Cleveland eras. It also discusses British tin plate trade and the broader tariff debate affecting industry and wages.
