The Defender: Devoted to the Protection of American Labor and Industries; April 28, 1890 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Defenders of American labor and industry challenge free-trade myths and defend a home market.
This issue of The Defender explores how tariffs and protective measures shape jobs, farms, and factories.

It contrasts what happens when manufacturing and mining communities are supported with tariffs and incentives versus relying on exports alone. The content is practical, aiming to connect policy with everyday work and wages.- Understand the authors’ view on how population centers, city growth, and industry support demand protective policies.
- See arguments about the relationship between agriculture, industry, and domestic demand.
- Learn how tariff policy is framed as a tool to strengthen workers, farmers, and the overall economy.
