Farmers and trusts in McKinley era politics
A Congressional speech by Representative Clayton of Alabama argues that white trusts prosper under McKinley while farmers suffer. He cites 1899 agriculture data showing declining prices for farm products since 1890, higher production yet lower value, and a shift of wealth to trusts amid Republican imperial policy and protective measures against farmers. He warns that farmers face steady robbery if they back a party that favors trusts over agricultural producers.
