The Tramp Phenomenon in City Labor Conditions
The Philadelphia press denounces tramps as skulking pirates and urges suppression by law though such measures may not curb them.

Modern city mechanics are largely factory operatives, with skilled trades eroded by machines.

Practical side of free art tariff debate
The argument for maintaining tariffs on foreign art cites boosting American works, but the reasoning falters. Art appeals to taste and culture, not essential needs. high duties raise prices, reduce demand for both foreign and native works, and merely fuel fashion rather than protect national art.
Native Art Prestige Versus Cheap Foreign Works
The essay argues for preserving a tariff to protect American art from cheap foreign competition. It contends that domestic prestige and long term cultural gain matter more than immediate costs, and that duties cannot block all rubbish while some foreign works will still enter the market after abolition. The buyer’s judgment determines an art market buoyed by quality, not price.
