The Detroit Free Press notes a sharp rise in state tax totals compared with two years ago, despite claimed reductions. It cites that $120,805 in direct tax money from the general government reduced the tax burden, and argues protectionist policy raised wages, not prices, while Michigan anticipates a wheat crop over 28 million bushels. The piece references Blaine and McKinley era debates on tariffs and the domestic market.
