Williams prints two of Henry Carey's works advocating protectionism, prefacing them with his own brief remarks about the evil "effect of depending upon a foreign market for the breadstuffs we produce."

He urges following the example of France, which now exports wheat as the result of "a system of long continued, steady and thoroughly effective protection." Item #19308
