Peck's Report Attacks McKinley Tariff Labor Claims
Albany labor investigator Peck asserts that growth in production and wages in 1891 predated and continued after the McKinley tariff, arguing the rise reflects general prosperity rather than tariff effects. The New York Herald notes Peck’s figures and cautions against partisan conclusions while contrasting wage trends and living costs in the era.

McKinley tariff praised by an English immigrant maker
A London-born manufacturer praises the McKinley tariff for expanding U S down quilt production from one small factory to six. He argues duties did not rise, labor use grew to 2,060 workers, and imports from England declined. The letter also questions Republican support for trusts and discusses a proposed antitrust amendment and labor protection under tariff policy.
