The piece attacks demagogues who inflame strikes and praises union loyalty while denouncing Jefferson Davis and southern Democrats. It advocates harsh measures against labor agitators, warns about foreign-born workers, and supports mandatory work with severe penalties for resisters. It also discusses Republican leaders and party management, favoring strong state action to enforce work.
The piece argues that workingmen who save and persevere earn respect, notes that southern demonstrations reduce immigration and southern investments, and criticizes anti Michigan club rhetoric. It cites 1886 first quarter U S business failures totaling 2303 liabilities 29000000, compares 1885 and 1873 levels, links strikes to cautious confidence, and hopes for restored prosperity if labor disputes are resolved.
