Farmers split by tariff show savings in 1888 tale
A South Bend Tribune excerpt contrasts 1858 free trade and 1888 protective tariffs. Farmer Brown sells crops to cover harvest costs and buys a Studebaker wagon and groceries, then repeats in 1858 prices to show a larger profit under protection. He ends with $153.20 left after paying hands and buys more gear, arguing tariffs aid farmers.
