An Impracticable Idea From Sharon Man on Total Abstinence Labor Policy

Pressure and Reform Through Self Interest and Independence

The piece argues against pressuring one class with reform that burdens workers who drink or temperance adherents. It contends temperance mandates among employers create espionage and coercion, harming those not deserving. Self interest should regulate hiring, and genuine reform requires voluntary cooperation from those to be reformed.

Protectionists fear tariff changes and tax cuts endangering workers

A lengthy critique argues that protectionists exaggerate harm from tariff reduction, claiming sugar and textile duties favor monopolists. It asserts sugar duties cost the public more than revenue, estimates big losses if rates drop, and favors reducing tariffs on imports to protect manufacturers while easing costs for the poor.
