Albany: Weed, Parsons & Co., Printers, 1885.

8vo, 54pp. Disbound and entirely loose; textblock Very Good with gentle toning and a small chip to the top corner of the first page. An examination of the impact of convict labor on civilian industries, including comparisons of its quality (compared with and without child labor) and the difficulty of private businesses to compete. It also addresses perceived damages to the reputations of the civilians working in industries where convict labor was taking over (many factions deny complaints, but the harness makers are not happy).
