Free wool tariff debate pits Michigan farmer against Yaple
The piece argues for protecting farm income via tariffs on wool and wheat while criticizing Mr Yaple’s push for free wool. It cites rising farm prices and falling manufactured goods costs since 181% and points to historical tariffs from Morrill to 1883. Wool grower groups nationwide urge maintaining tariffs, opposing free wool moves.
