An article reviews Japan’s wage levels under free trade and their impact on imports and domestic mills. It compares Japanese daily wages to American equivalents, cites official figures, and discusses how low wages aid competition. It also covers political fights over labor laws and the meaning of free trade versus protective tariffs in the United States.
The fragmentary text questions whether Jefferson was a protectionist if export gains matter, why free traders urged Smith to Bohemia and opposed shorter hours, and if reciprocity is a sham detested by Britain. It also asks why free raw materials clash with cotton duties, how wages relate to labor supply, and how destruction of America affects them, ending with a remark about mugwumps being something.
