New York and London: G. r. Putnams
Sons. For sale by Robert Beall, 81.
| In this volume the author attacks the
very citadel Of protection. He is opposed
to preferences and privileges OF every kind,
and demands that every citizen shall be as
untrdmmeled in his commercial and indus.
trial relations as in those political. Being
merchant, and thereby obliged to look
on both sides Of his business, he claims that
such necessity OF his occupation enables
him to view impartislly all sides of the
question Of protective tariff, and hopes
to lead his readers to his own conclusion
that all taxes levied shall be exclusively
for the benefit Of the government and none
for the benefit OF industries, whether infant
or ancient. ....a.
All the statements and arguments In the
book are clear and forcible, are worthy Of
deep consideration, and surely could not bt
presented in a more simple and attractiv,
manner.
