Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This detailed account explores the developments surrounding the domestic production of linen thread in the United States of America. It delves into the efforts made and challenges encountered by American manufacturers in the face of international competition. The book provides a historical perspective on the interplay between protectionist policies, technological advancements, and the evolving textile industry. At the heart of the discussion is the question of whether imposing tariffs on imported raw materials like flax is truly beneficial to domestic industries or if it hinders their growth. The author presents a comprehensive examination of the arguments and evidence presented by both sides of the debate, highlighting the complex relationship between government intervention and the dynamics of the free market. Through meticulous research and analysis, this book sheds light on the complexities and contradictions within the American linen thread industry and its struggle to establish a foothold in the global marketplace. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
