McKinley probes Mars on tariffs in playful campaign plan
In light of Edison’s Mars messages Major McKinley drafts questions for Martian statesmen about protectionism. He asks if Mars imposes prohibitive tariff walls, uses reciprocity, taxes raw materials, supports trusts, and how such rules affect wages, prices, and trade. The piece satirically links Mars discourse to U.S. tariff politics ahead of November.
