A Letter on Vagrants and Labor in the Kingdom
A London printed letter argues for harsher measures against vagrants and foreigners to protect native workers. It urges extending justice, making magistrates decide on natives vs foreigners, and cites poverty as a cause for reform while warning against influxes of foreign labor. The piece also comments on trade, wages, and the broader state of public policy.
