Farmers and the Tariff Debate for Reformers
The piece argues that tariffs should protect both farmer and manufacturer, not just industry. It notes freetraders claim tariffs raise costs for clothing and farm machinery, but contends a proper tariff shields farmers from foreign competition and preserves market access. It suggests Republicans admit tariff inequities and Democrats’ objections are unclear.
