McKinley Tariff and Labor Strikes Debate
A defense of the McKinley tariff argues it did not cause Homestead lockouts or wage cuts. It cites reduced duties on iron and steel and presents wage increases and fewer labor disturbances under the tariff, contrasting with John D Warner’s 473 item list of strikes. The piece asserts higher wages and broader prosperity since the tariff’s passage.
