Mythical Protectionism in Tariff Debates
A Washington Times editorial argues against tariffs by citing a 1911 import value of nearly $97 million in fruits and the shift to domestic production. It details rebates to fruit importers, government subsidies, and rebates totaling over $100,000, claiming tariffs fail to protect local growers while raising consumer prices.
