Excerpt from The Champion Tariff Swindle of the World: Friendly Letters to American Farmers and Others These letters are selected from the much larger number printed during the last two years in the New York Times and Evening Post, and have been rearranged and modified to give a more continuous view Of our iniquitous tariff system, with especial reference to the bur den upon Our farmers. The letters were based on topics of the day, and in rearranging them logically are thrown somewhat out Of their chronological order; an endeavor has been made, however, to omit references to merely ephemeral matters, and it is hoped that in this shape the work may have more than a merely temporary value.
