The nations have discovered the perfidious fallacy of Free-Trade principles, and are now learning to manufacture for their own wants, instead of paying England enormous sums to manufacture for them.

Very soon English goods will no longer find foreign markets, and how will the hungry Proletariat then be fed?
Already the grain production of England is far from sufficient for the wants of the population, so that, even when the harvest is exceptionally abundant, enormous quantities of wheat are imported from all quarters of the globe.

Hitherto this grain has been paid for by the manufactured goods annually exported, but how will it be procured when these goods are no longer wanted by foreign consumers?
And what then will the hungry Proletariat do ?"* * This passage was written, precisely as it stands, long before the fiscal question was raised by Mr.Chamberlain.
It will be found in the first edition of this work, published in 1877.
