Tariff debate over South American wool shocks 1844 farmers
Correspondence from August 17 1844 discusses wool imports from South America at six cents six mills per pound with five percent duty and argues the tariff harms U S wool growers. It cites 1842 imports of over 14 million pounds and contrasts low duties on coarse wools with higher protective duties on manufactured wool goods. It critiques Abbott Lawrence and party politics, detailing attempts to raise duties for cheaper wools and the political battle in Congress and Senate.

Tariff debate hinges on farm prices and protection gains
A 1840s tariff critique argues that protective duties lower farm prices while boosting loom prices. It cites figures from 1836 to 1844 showing higher agricultural prices under earlier tariffs and condemns shifts from ad valorem to specific duties as misleading. The piece notes expensive printed cottons for the rich and cheaper options for the poor, inflating costs, and mentions emigration of Calvanistic Methodists from Wales aiming to settle near the Mississippi.
