Editorial on tariffs and labor in the Portland era
A dense, polemical piece arguing that protective tariffs harm farmers and working labor, contrasting wage levels in steel towns with farm wages, and criticizing Chinese exclusion while lauding reformers. It cites The New York Tribune and The Oregonian, warning that railway and steel prices burden agriculture and that labor protections largely favor manufacturers at farmers’ expense.
