A conservative defense of protectionist policy argues tariffs defend American markets and farming. It warns against Cuba tariff repeal and reciprocity, urging continued protection for tobacco growers and beet sugar, and stresses unity between industry and agriculture to safeguard national prosperity.
At a reciprocity convention speaker A. B. Marquhar, a known Free-Trader, argued that France imposes a maximum tariff that harms US manufacturers while consumers bear the cost. The remark was framed as an admission of protectionist arguments and warned listeners to recall it amid future Free-Trade criticisms.
The South pushes protectionist odds as manufacturing grows and tariff profits loom. East looks to revive shipbuilding but resists raw material tariffs, risking broader free trade shifts. At Chicago’s Democratic convention Bryan allies Tillman and Bailey removed the word only from platform, hinting tariffs beyond revenue.
Alb Havemeyer and other manufacturers press for free inputs like wool and hides while seeking protection for finished goods. The drive would enrich manufacturers at farmers and stockmen expense, harming sugar beet and cane growers, wool and hide producers. The Helena Record notes the plan is unjust and unlikely to win Republican support.
Senator Mason calls for fair treatment for Cuba amid debate on sugar and tobacco duties. The piece questions who benefits from tariff changes, warning they may divert U.S. treasury funds to trusts. It also asks who bears the cost for U.S. growers and whether protections for them are justified.
Contrasting tariff and free trade eras, the piece notes that during free trade periods industries stalled and millions faced scarcity while soup houses fed idle workers. In tariff times labor thrived and soup houses faded, and New York plans a children’s theater modeled on Boston’s, expected to yield good dividends.
Prince Henry of Prussia, 40 on Aug 14, admired by sailors, has spent nearly a quarter century at sea steering Germany's navy. He led cruisers in Asia, commanded the second division, and impressed Americans with tact and kindness. A devoted yachtsman, he sails the Irene and revels in water sports and seamanship.
In London circles it is claimed Miss Roosevelt will travel to Berlin as the guest of Ambassador White during coronation time. The Kaiser reportedly proposes impartial hospitality to the President's daughter, whose charm is tied to Anglo American civilities, the Emperor’s yacht launch, and Prince Henry’s U S visit. The German people would warmly welcome her.
Kaiser orders daily cables from the United States detailing Prince Henry’s visit and experiences. He must begin the report during the voyage and deliver a detailed account upon return to Emperor William.
A Chicago based firm ships 2,000,000 circular letters weekly to farmers and dealers using two cent stamps and personalized signatures. The industry employs hundreds, targets 600,000 plus farmers, and saves 75 percent on writing costs. Political campaigns also use these services. NYC and Chicago practices differ in postage and presentation.
Spiritualism is seen as declining while merit and reliability are praised for Hostetter s Stomach Bitters as a leading family medicine for indigestion dyspepsia constipation and biliousness. A quote from Uncle AlJsen Sparks about learning from life underscores practical wisdom.
A compiled, fragmented OCR fragment from a newspaper page features advertisements for Allen's Foot Ease powder 25c, Putnam faceless dyes 10c, and a Dr H Green Bons Dropsy ad, plus a jokey exchange about the Agricultural Department and a stray kindergarten joke.
An advertisement extols St Jacob s Oil for muscular soreness from over exertion heat or cold with vigorous rubbing for twenty minutes two or three times daily promising relief within twenty four hours and added claims of strengthening muscles.
