Excerpt from Wealth and Welfare, Or: Our National Trade Policy and Its Cost The scope of this work and the object with which it is written are explained at length in the Introductory Chapter. Nevertheless, a few words on the matter will not be out of place here. The conduct of our national trade policy is rapidly becoming a burning question. Day by day this subject looms more large and threatening through the fog of contentious verbiage which surrounds it, day by day calls louder for impartial investigation and solution. Meanwhile we are assured, by those who speak with authority, that the principles of orthodox English political economy are immutable, and free trade is raised by its advocates to the dignity of a 'great doctrine.' I do not altogether believe in the immutability of these principles, nor in the greatness of this doctrine, but rather in the application of common honesty to our commercial methods, and of common sense to our reasonings concerning them.
