Tariff gloom and wage fears amid a lean 1912
A Pittsburgh dispatch cites Joseph H Grundy of Bristol Pa warning of a prolonged low mood and tariff driven downturn. It notes reports of mass layoffs, shorter work weeks, and weak Christmas for steel and wool, with rail and grain markets outlooks and United States imports under tariff pressure.
Sermons and small-town life in Zion’s Corner reflections
A collage of local notes from Folkerth 1914 recounts revival efforts at Mt Zion church with no converts yet hopeful, daily debates on hot topics, and everyday scenes. Mentions Rev Frank Linville and Rev W E Michael, Aller Coppock shopping in Richmond, S Grosvenor’s sausage breakfast, and household life across Indiana and Michigan with reflections on temperaments, marriage, and social views.
Free trade and American labor costs debate
The American Economist argues that cheaper living through reduced wages harms the home market and total production. It warns that cheaper goods from lower wage markets would reduce employment and incomes for workers, lawyers, clergy, and others, making free trade hard times costly for American labor.
