The scheme would split costs between government and municipalities, create a five member supervisory body, and aim to reduce orphanage overcrowding while helping mothers stay at home with their children.

The history notes that the Patrons of Industry faded after 1898 as a political project tried to fuse farmers and labor. Farmers sought high prices for primary products while labor aimed for higher wages for manufactured goods, proving their goals often opposed. The attempt to unify collapsed, leaving a lesson on the difficulty of pairing farmer and worker interests.
