Men's Sewed Straw Hats - Report of the United Stated Tariff Commission to the President of the United States (1926)

Commission United States Tariff

Sinopse

In the specialised report 'Men's Sewed Straw Hats,' the United States Tariff Commission presents a meticulous examination of the 1926 tariff policies and their impact on the industry of straw hat manufacturing. The text dissects the economic landscape with precision, embedding its narrative in the broader context of American industrial policy of the early twentieth century. Not merely a dry governmental document, it exemplifies scholarly research, dense with data and analysis, yet remarkably accessible due to the Commission's precise and systematic literary style. The report, now thoughtfully republished by DigiCat Publishing, has been given rejuvenated academic and historical significance, thus preserving a niche, yet important chapter in the tapestry of american economic history.
The United States Tariff Commission, an independent agency established in 1916, played a pivotal role in advising the president and Congress on tariff issues. The expertise distilled in 'Men's Sewed Straw Hats' stems from a wealth of knowledge on trade policies and their ramifications. This text, rising from an era marked by protectionism and industry-specific trade barriers, reflects the Commission's earnest effort to shape economically sound policies whilst scrutinising a unique segment of the apparel industry. The report is an exemplar of the Commission's dedication to thorough economic analysis and the promotion of fair trade practices.
For scholars of economic history, trade policy enthusiasts, and those intrigued by the sociocultural implications of manufacturing industries, 'Men's Sewed Straw Hats' offers a rich, empirical deep dive into an often-overlooked subject. DigiCat Publishing's commitment to preserving such works bolsters the understanding of historical economic decisions and their lasting effects. With this republishing, the report transcends its initial administrative purpose, inviting a new generation to explore the interplay between commerce, governance, and the American textile craft in the Roaring Twenties. This book comes highly recommended for its meticulous research, substantive content, and the opportunity it furnishes for intellectual enrichment.

Alexander Kuprin

He continued to publish both stories and novels and by 1901 he was in St Petersburg becoming part of a group that included Chekhov, Ivan Bunin, Maxim Gorky and Leonid Andreyev.
In the years that followed further controversial works and acclaim followed. His comments on the regime meant he was also put under secret police surveillance.
As World War I erupted, Kuprin opened a military hospital but was then given command of an infantry company in Finland. He was soon discharged on grounds of ill health.
The October Revolution saw him praise Lenin, but he warned that the Bolsheviks threatened Russian culture and might cause further widespread suffering to the peasants. As Civil War raged he took his family to Helsinki and then on to Paris.
Exile saw his talents decline further and his succumbing to alcoholism. He became lonely and withdrawn. The family's poverty increased his malaise.
In May 1937, the Kuprin’s returned to Moscow. He now saw his work published but wrote almost nothing new. In 1938 his health rapidly deteriorated. Already suffering from a kidney problems and sclerosis, he had now developed cancer of the oesophagus.
