Tariff Debate Shapes 1912 Party Prospects
The piece argues Mr. Bryan may seek a fourth nomination, but warns that Republicans hold a coherent tariff theory with a data driven plan for a permanent tariff commission. Democrats lack unity on tariff principles, with divisions and defiance of their platform weakening any move toward tariff reform. The author casts the Democratic restoration as an uncertain, hollow rainbow.
