Paxton Canning Can Tariff Letters Spark Debate in Times Corp
The issue prints two letters from HLT Babbit of Paxton and Jonas Ladson of Paxton, plus a Dugdale Can Co statement, all debating tin can prices before and after the McKinley tariff. Letters allege higher costs post tariff and accuse critics of lying, with invoices and a 1890 contract cited to support claims.
