Minor chipping to the rear wrappers; contents clean; a fairly fresh copy. <br /> <br /> The report read at the second anniversary of the Home League opens: "a few individuals of various professions without dictation or reward from any quarter except the satisfaction of acting with honest and patriotic motives resolved to devote themselves to the task of devising some remedy for the existing evils; and for this purpose invited a convention of their fellow-citizens from every section of the country without distinction of party which organized this association for the Protection of American Labor and the promotion of Reciprocal Free Trade. This was the starting point of the Home League and under this banner we have triumphed" p. 2. <br /> <br /> The Home League was established in 1841 and sought a more protectionist policy in the wake of the Compromise Tariff of 1833. In this report from the early years of the League we can see the growing pains of international commerce from the early stages of the industrial revolution. Of peripheral interest the Home League was eviscerated by Walt Whitman in an April 8 1842 article for the New York Aurora "The Latest and Grandest Humbug." While the article is unsigned Whitman scholars generally attribute it to him as the general editor of the paper at the time. He writes apropos of a Home League meeting at the Broadway Tabernacle Church: "Sensible men have of late years been flattering themselves that the old rusty antiquated doctrine of a Protective Tariff had been given the go by. It seems that it is not so. A few cliques of selfish manufacturers joined with a few sap head simpletons are raising a great hue and cry to get up the old system with a new name. We hope the American nation will not allow these hypocrites to deceive them. The whole pith and essence of their movements is self. Under loud mouthed demonstrations of patriotism they would push ahead measures for their own interest. They worship the Almighty Dollar—and to aid themselves therein they take the name of national prosperity in vain." It speaks to perennially passionate competing opinions of protectionist trade policies. Not in Kress or Sabin. Published in Hunt's Magazine unknown
