Excerpt from The Destructive Influence: Of the Tariff Upon Manufacture and Commerce and the Figures and Facts Relating Thereto
The principles contained in these propositions once recognized, the adjustment of the tariff question will be an easy matter. The want of understanding that is apparent in all discussions is attributable to an insufficient collection of material facts, and to ignorance of the correlation of certain factors that play no small part in the concert of social forces. I have endeavored to link these into the chain of evidence, which I have been collecting for a number of years, against the tariff laws of the United States.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book targets the issue of protective tariffs on American manufacturing by the United States government. The author, an advocate of free trade, contends that protectionist policies have failed to enhance American manufacturing and are, in fact, a detriment to the industry. The author draws upon decades of comparative statistics from the United States and its industrial rivals, as well as conditions in competing nations, to support their propositions. These include: protective tariffs cannot protect manufacturing industries, such policies prohibit the exportation of surplus manufactured products, protection fosters unhealthy competition, foreign commerce and home manufacturing both suffer where raw materials are taxed, and protective tariffs are not the path to higher wages for American workers. The author weaves these ideas together into an argument that a tariff which taxes raw materials cannot be protective to manufacturing industries.
