Excerpt from A Tariff Primer: The Effects of Protection Upon the Farmer and Laborer

No attempt has been made at originality. The principles and effects of protection have been abundantly set forth by English, French, and German writers. The aim has been to outline in brief the principles lying at the bottom of this sub jcet. Men in the ordinary vocations of life have neither time nor opportunity, if they have inclination, to pursue such studies in detail.

Just now when legislation affecting the economic interests of the people is coming more and more to the front, when every ballot cast may, directly or indirectly, take money out of the pocket of one man and put it into the pocket of another, when railroad-legislation - state and national, - Chinese exclu sion laws, contract labor laws, labor legislation, taxation and tariff laws, and laws affecting the rate of interest, etc., are claiming more and more the public attention, the education of the American citizen in political science has seemed to the writer the most pressing need.
