Protectionist Papers. A symposium of Republican leaders.
A detailed critique of McKinley tariff reforms from multiple Republican papers. The Chicago Tribune and other editors argue protection increases prices, hurts workers and favors special interests. They note support for free wool and raw materials, while defenders cite scientific grounds for protection. The piece ends praising McKinley’s labor push and contrasting British free trade efforts.

Canadians Seek Trade War Over McKinley Tariff
The article argues Canada will retaliate against the United States by raising duties and pursuing free trade with Canada in opposition to protective policies. It notes Montreal meat packers threaten closure without cattle, Ottawa protests by hatters and hardware dealers, and Canadian voters split between continental free trade and tariff walls. It questions whether protectionism should fuel national rancor or serve mutual gains.
