Protection Theory in Danger and Labor Struggles
The Journal of United Labor cites widespread shutdowns and wage cuts since the presidential election, noting intense conflict in steel plants, building trades strikes, and miners facing poverty. It argues tariffs do not sustain wages, and warns protecting the system harms both labor and manufacturers. Editor Cowen aids Public Printer Palmer at the Government Printing Office, rekindling a long‑time friendship and professional partnership born in Jamestown, with Palmer's rise aided by Cowen’s earlier support.
