The Large Presumption of a Small Potentate
A 1912 unsigned critique in Charlotte’s press racks tariff reform rhetoric. The piece rails at R. M. Miller Jr, chair of the Ancil Cotton Manufacturers Association tariff committee, denouncing his anti tariff stance as ignorant and prejudiced. It lampoons Miller and calls for protectionist lines while condemning party factionalism and labor impact arguments.
