Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tariff: Speech of Hon. John H. Gear, of Iowa, in the House of Representatives, Friday, May 11, 1888
We had been free-traders, buying all such things because we could buy them cheaper, but we now discovered that we might better have been making the blankets at double the cost for fifty years.
The same was true of saltpeter, guns, cannons, swords, and iron and steel out of which to make them.
