The Protective System and The Wage Worker Debate
A long defense of protectionist tariffs arguing they raise American wages and living standards. It contrasts wage levels in the United States with Europe, defends using duties to equalize production costs, and attacks free trade as harmful to labor. The speaker invokes Hamiltonian principles, national prosperity, and historical examples to urge sustained tariffs.
