Nixon on Protection Differs From Party on Tariff
New York member of the Democratic platform committee, Lewis Nixon, advocates a protective tariff linked to the census at ten year intervals and supported by a congressional committee. He favors trade with Canada and Mexico to expand markets for American machinery in return for breadstuffs and minerals, and cites historical debates on commerce power to justify flexible tariffs. He notes concerns about the Payne bill and warns against misuse of protection, arguing for adapted schedules to uphold American wages and living standards.
