Excerpt from Protective Philosophy: A Discussion of the Principles of the American Protective System, EmbodiedNor have protectionists any complete treatise recent enough to include the vital conditions of modern industrial history in other countries. Such a history for Great Britain was substantially wanting entirely, until the reports of the Royal Commission on Trade and Industry were published in the latter part of 1886. Previously, we had to rely largely upon the partial, partisan, and misleading statistics issued by the Cobden Club, the unreliability of which was exposed by the Royal Commission reports.In this state of protective literature in this country, the author felt that there was still much to be said in behalf of the protective system, and new truths to be deduced in its favor.The definition of Protection which is given in Chapter II., may provoke some criticism. That is what is desired. It may not be logically the most perfect attainable, but it is more so than any I have seen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
