Tariff Fraud and McKinley Bill Critique of Farm Imports
The piece debunks claims that tariffs harm farmers by examining a table of farm product imports from 1889. It argues that sugar dominates imports, while most animal and product imports are small or misrepresented. It critiques the McKinley bill and shows how revised rates would affect wool, barley, wine, and other items, urging protection through tariff changes.
