Protection Paves the Path of Prosperity

Excerpt from Protection Paves the Path of Prosperity: An Exposure of Free Food Folly and Fiction In setting forth the merits of Protection as compared with Free Trade, as herein I have endeavoured to do, it seems well to state that any bias I may have in the matter does not arise from personal motives. I am not the owner of a single acre of land in the United Kingdom, and if the establishinent of Protection affected me in a pecuniary sense, it would be adversely rather than otherwise, as my interests are, to a considerable extent, identified with a foreign country which now exports freely large quantities of cereals and other foodstuffs to the British Isles.
