The object of this work is to bring before the public a volume that contains the best things written both for and against Protection. In selecting the articles I have consulted the authors when possible, and am indebted to them for much assistance and many kind suggestions. One important object was to make an inexpensive work. We felt that the masses were detained or discouraged from gaining important information on a great and vital National issue, because of the expense or trouble involved. We have therefore collected in this volume what would previously require the purchase of a library to obtain. E. NORTHWOOD, N. H. H. W. FURBER. |
