A short 1880s magazine article arguing that President Cleveland's tariff-reform message would harm the American linen industry. It argues that flax, hemp and jute spinning relies on the same British-made machinery worldwide, so low foreign wages give foreign mills an advantage. It includes a table of average weekly spinner and carder wages in 1886 for the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia and India.
