A pale early text argues that free trade harmed American labor and farm values. It contends Mr Stickney’s plan derived from broader policy shifts, shows historical acreage, currency, and land value changes under protectionist vs free trade eras, and warns labor shifts burden farming while noting farm values decline under certain tariff acts and McKinley era dynamics.
The piece argues that without protection American wheat and cotton, India, Egypt, and other producers would yield less value given current wage and land costs. It cites 1868 production per capita, mentions declines under free trade policy and the impact on manufacturing and agriculture, then shifts to a Sunday School historical digest about Isaiah and ancient Judea, framing current policy in a broader context of prosperity and moral lessons.
