Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wages and Tariffs Influence of the Protective System on Wages, Social Organization and the Distribution of Wealth: An Address Delivered Before the Brooklyn Revenue Reform Club, on May 8th, 1884 The question of wages is the pivotal question in the tariff discussion. As compared with this, all others sink into insignificance. If it can be shown that by any device of discrimination whatever, a tariff on imports can be made to benefit working people, I pledge myself to be a protectionist. The American people have a right to demand that this question shall be met fairly and squarely. Bold, reckless, unscrupulous assertions - ad captandum arguments such as have hitherto furnished the whole stock in trade of the protectionists will not answer any longer. I assert that protection lowers the standard of wages and I am prepared to prove it. Wages are the Pulse of Industrial Society. - Health is indicated by regularity, steadiness, firmness; disease by irregularity, feverishness and uncertainty. It is not the nominal rate of wages in current money, but the means of well being, physical and mental, that constitutes the true standard of wages. All trade is primarily barter - the exchange of labor or the fruits of labor. Money is a device originally intended to facilitate barter.
