Working-Men Contrast Free Trade and Protection in Wages
A set of letters from working-men contrasts American and European industrial conditions. Cabinet makers in England earn hourly wages tied to five-year apprenticeships, while American makers show higher overall pay. European workers face master dependency and crowded living. American labor appears more independent. The piece argues Republican policy revived prosperity by ending free trade.
