Tariff and Distribution Speech in 1844 Debates Free Trade
A long speech from Pennsylvania congressman criticizes tariffs as a misused tool, arguing protection elevates all labor and harms consumers. It attacks free trade as dangerous, defends duties on domestic industry, and asserts distribution of public lands as a remedy to fund government while reducing burdens on the people. The speaker cites Van Buren and Whig contrasts and discusses impacts on Pennsylvania industries, agriculture, and the national economy.
