This page of notes about the problems of American capitalism is one of
several manuscripts that Whitman wrote with the intention of delivering
a lecture on what he called "the tramp and strike questions." Though the
lecture never materialized, a short essay based on the manuscripts was
published under the title "The Tramp and
Strike Questions.
Part of a Lecture proposed,
(never deliver'd.)
" in
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882–83). It was later reprinted in
Complete
Prose Works
(1892).
