A New Albany note urges support for Porter and Garfield over Wood tariff plans. The writer warns of a proposed bill that would slash glass and textile duties, risking factory closures and job losses. He cites votes and the 1866 collapse of glass and steel in nearby cities, urging workers to back a protective tariff.
W F Cocheran, a Yonkers manufacturer, argues for tariff protection to shield labor and industry, contrasting protectionist views with free trade and warning Democrats about wage cuts. Garfield and Arthur urged as a remedy. He recounts a Democratic interlocutor endorsing low wages and free trade. He cites risks of factory closures and mass emigration if protection ends.
Hon. D. Kelley argues the Democratic party serves British manufacturing interests. He cites Cobden Club pamphlets funded by British money and distributed in the Western States to push for free trade. He condemns agents and pledges to defend American labor and wages amid a railroad collision report from Columbus, Georgia.
