Duties of Government. The case for or against free trade
The piece argues that free trade or low tariffs may lower prices but could reduce manufacturing, hurt wages, and shift workers to agriculture. It questions whether cheaper imports would curb domestic industry, raise foreign dependence, and ultimately lower capital profits, wages, and national prosperity. It cites England as a caution and notes public lands as a safety net for unemployed workers.
