A historical pamphlet questions tariffs charging Congress with paying debts and protecting monopoly profits. It argues protection raises costs for consumers, benefits only monopolists, and fails to shield American labor from European competition, urging exclusion or massive per head tariffs to level capital and labor.
A Chicago letter argues against protective tariffs claiming they harm American labor and farmers. It cites rising costs, monopolist profits, and welfare of the many over a few, with figures on annual tariff taxes and historical context. It notes farmers and laborers pay for protections that mainly enrich monopolists. A later item reports Labor unions endorsing General Palmer and the Democratic ticket in Chicago, with union influence and expected split across voters.
