Shoddy Clothing and Tariff Critique Debate
A narrator contends that after the McKinley tariff the shoddy clothing trade boomed, citing 1880 and 1890 wool usage shifts and a 1892 report on rags and shoddy. The piece denounces tariffs as a boon to shoddy manufacturers, plus a related critique of tax burdens on farmers and consumers. It includes an anecdote about a red headed street vendor in Chicago offering a counterpoint on personal enterprise and public perception.
