Big Glass War Explains Duty Fight and Foreign Imports
Curcase July 29 report from Syracuse quotes United Glass Co. president C. E. Frazee on why duty on foreign window glass fails to shield U S manufacturers. He explains imports persist, costs cut by Belgian production, wage rises, and limited tariff effectiveness. Frazee notes 1 249 576 imported boxes in 1889 from total 4 360 835 consumed, and cites wage and chemical cost hikes while arguing only tariff or cheaper production can curb imports.

Tariff Talk on Window Glass Costs and Protection
A 19th century hearing discusses how a fixed duty on glass interacts with shifting foreign production costs. Frazee argues for restoring the 1883 higher rate to offset price declines abroad, while denying a “trust” in the industry. He explains ad valorem effects and the need for some domestic advancement.
