Excerpt from Free-Trade Fallacies Refuted: In a Series of Letters to the Editor of the Morning Herald
Sir,-i have already intimated that, in the investigation to which I am anxious to invite public attention, I propose in an especial manner to grapple with certain assertions and arguments. Which have recently appeared in the Times, and which have, I am aware, produced a profound impression on the public mind. I refer, not so much to the gratuitous assumptions, the ingenious sophism's, the sweeping denunciations, the ironical sarcasms, with which it is the wont of that able but Protean Journal on most occasions to amuse and delude a credulous public; but the articles to which I particularly refer, departing somewhat nu guardedly from the vague and therefore safe generalities under which its fallacies are usually cloaked, have fortunately presented. The whole case at issue in a sufficiently comprehensive and intelligible form, to enable me, by analysis of their allegations and arguments, to bring fairly under examination most of. The points essential to be decided in the present stage of the con troversy. Dismissing, then, all present discussion of the elementary principles of F Tee-trade and Protection and all consideration of abstractions, - Of which the public is, perhaps, justly weary,~ - it is my intention, in the letters which,_by your courtesy, I am per mitted to publish in your columns,. To limit my task to an impartial examination of some assertions of alleged facts, most. Important to the argument, but which I believe to be utterly. Without foundation, and to an endeavour to elucidate other real facts of equal importance, which, as I also believe, have, for the express purpose of misleading the-public, been artfully concealed or grossly misrepresented.
