Old Free Trade Debate Prompts Farm Labor Policy View
The article argues against the Go to the Farm policy as proposed by railroad figure Stickney and backed by Kolb, claiming it would devastate manufacturing, reduce wages, and push workers to farming. It cites historical criticisms of low tariff and free trade, urging protection to sustain both farming and industry, with references to Clay, Benton, Buchanan, and Blaine. It also notes a Jasper County agricultural society meeting and local notices.
