Protecting Shoddy Growth Under Wool Tariff Policy
An 1890 analysis details the rapid rise of the shoddy industry since 1860 under wool tariffs. It explains shoddy origins from wool waste and old rags, notes new terms like extracts and mungo, and cites census data showing a 2,187 percent output increase by 1890. The piece links tariff protection to industry expansion and cites a pro-protectionendorsement by shoddy manufacturers for Cleveland and Morton.
