During the 1838–1846 debates, the free traders evolved a line of argument describing manufacturers and laborers as mutually interested in tariff repeal. By a series of inferences, which may be stated as a sorites, repeal speakers argued that abolition of tariffs would result not only in competitive advantage to British manufacturers but also in higher wages for workers. As the debate progressed, the arguments shifted from emphasis on disadvantage to manufacturers to more emphasis on injustice of higher food costs for laborers and for the country at large
