The material frames the topic with concrete data, real-world concerns, and the key questions debaters faced. It contrasts the idea of a guaranteed living wage with economic theories about supply, demand, and the costs of production, while reflecting on immigrant and rural labor trends of the era. The text encourages readers to weigh justice, efficiency, and practical outcomes in wage policy.
- Clear articulation of what a minimum wage argues for, and what it intends to protect in workers’ lives.
- Economic concepts explained through period statistics and expert references.
- Arguments about how wages relate to productivity, cost of living, and societal good.
- Context for separate debates on policy feasibility, fairness, and unintended consequences.
Ideal for readers of labor history, economic policy discussions, and historical debate transcripts who want to understand early arguments around living wages and legislation.

Reseña del editor
These speeches are fifteen minutes in length, the rebuttals six minutes, and are printed as they were given against the Nebraska Wesleyan and Washburn Universities, two of the strongest debating schools in the Middle West.
A. R. Bradley, First Affirmative.
Honorable Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen: Nations perish when their foundations crumble. Hence a question of vital concern to our laboring class must necessarily vitally concern our nation; for the great laboring class constitutes the basis of society. The wide spread interest which this question is arousing and the action which has been started in several states forces it upon the minds of the thinking public with a burning appeal. Following the example of Massachusetts nine states have enrolled on their statute books a minimum wage law. Hence, we are face to face with living progressive truths, no longer theories.
Industrial disputes are about the only form of contention in which the government does not arbitrarily compel adjustment, but even these are coming more and more under the jurisdiction of the state until at present two-thirds of our states have some form of law concerning labor and its interests. Why this increasing interest? There is a vast hord of laborers in the United States who are forced by starvation wages to exist among such sordid surroundings that they are wrecked in character and in physique, the greatest assets of a nation. In spite of the fact that through the long weary hours of toil they have produced wealth and luxury for their employers, these miserable beings are doomed to suffer for the lack of the things they themselves have created.
Slavery has not been abolished, friends, until all such disgraces as exist in our industrial world have been eradicated. All enlightened society from Massachusetts to Oregon is demanding that a remedy be found for the evil of the low wage. The fundamental principle of labor legislation is the conservation of the human resources of our nation, hence the wage question, because of what it involves, becomes one of our greatest national problems.
Ladies and gentlemen, in our presentation of the minimum wage we do not contend for some visionary adjustment which will force industry out of business and establish labor in luxury. We contend that upon no other basis than that of complete justice to both employer and employee can this question ever be settled, and it is upon such a basis that we present the minimum wage. We shall not argue that a minimum wage shall be arbitrarily fixed as a living wage, but we base our contention for a minimum as such a wage that will be just and fair to both employer and worker.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
