Pound of flesh in tariff debate shapes protection claim
Congressman W L Wilson of West Virginia argues against taxation to fund infant industries and charges the McKinley tariff is not truly protective. The American Economist, affiliated with the protective tariff league, defines protection as duties high enough to sustain domestic industries, and uses cost of production differences to justify tariffs. The piece cites labor department data comparing pig iron and steel rails costs across the United States, Britain, and Europe, illustrating alleged overreach in the tariff and its impact on American mills and rail makers.
