Sophisms of the Protectionists

PART II
130/174

Does not common sense say that the conditions must be equalized by a protecting duty?
I ask that the duty on milk and butter be raised to a thousand per cent., and more, if necessary.

The breakfasts of the people will cost a little more, but wages will rise! We shall see the building of stables and dairies, a good trade in churns, and the foundation of new industries laid.

I, myself, have not the least interest in this plan.

I am not a cowherd, nor do I desire to become one.

I am moved by the single desire to be useful to the laboring classes.
