The piece argues that free importation deprives American workers of jobs and urges higher tariffs. It cites 1891 import values, estimates labor impact across industries, and concludes that 550,000 to 1,000,000 workers were kept out of work by cheap foreign goods, advocating a stronger protective tariff. Maine examples follow, noting growing industries and limited chances for loafers or reformers.
