Questions on protection and free trade in American industry
Lawn A. Ries challenges Hon. D. O. Haskell on the claim that free trade would ruin American labor. He argues England's wealth grew under free trade and cites historical policy shifts, showing that domestic profit should not rely on conquest or oppression. He urges American industry to develop through sensible tariffs and smarter localization aligned with raw materials, labor, and markets.
