The Woollen Trade and Our National Losses
The author argues against wool exports, praising domestic woollen manufacturing. He details employment, wages, and the economic case for keeping wool production at home, citing hundreds of workers per 720 lb of wool and comparing prices of manufactur’d wool versus raw wool exported to France. He warns exporting unmanufactur’d wool harms the nation and may fuel decline and poverty.
