The Tariff as a Planters Protector in 1882
In February 1882 Senator Zebulon B. Vance argues against tariffs as protection for planters and manufacturers. He decries protectionism as a tax on all, insists agriculture should lead wealth, and warns the infant industry critique misreads progress from steam, transport, and innovation. He derides a protected monopoly and calls for lower tariffs, free trade in machinery, and honest revenue policies while praising agricultural strength and free competition.
