Présentation de l'éditeur
This paper is, in the main, a study of the motives and methods of the growth of tariff favours to privileged industries in the United States and the German Empire. These are the lands chiefly held up to us as models, by reason of their scientific tariffs; and it is, as we shall see, no mere coincidence that they are, also, lands immensely rich in natural resources, and enjoying over an immense internal area the benefits of Free Trade; lands, at the same time, weak in their national tradition, which is of comparatively recent growth, and in the power of their people over the machine of national government. A superficial glance at the facts will show how little justification they afford for the hope that protective duties can ever be kept within modest limits. If there is anything in regard to which their advocates can be made to feel some scruple, it is surely the bread tax.
