Building Up a Market and the Right to Its Product
Ti Jones argues in defense of the tariff, saying every farmer and producer has an inherent right to the fruits of labor. He describes how free trade harms farmers who invest in land and livestock, leading to higher prices, reduced production, and economic decay. The piece contrasts farmers and manufacturers, warning of wasted capital and idle plants under freer import competition.
