Chapter I. — Introduction. I. International debts not paid in specie. 2. All commerce is barter
- [introduction]
- 1. Balances due by one country to another are paid for in specie. Hence, if the balance of trade be against us, we shall be drained of our specie to pay for such balance p. 9
- 2. Commerce is not the exchange of goods for goods, which would be barter; but of goods for money, which is not barter. It will not, we think, be difficult to show that the exchange of goods for money is virtually as much barter as though the goods were directly exchanged for other goods p. 10
-
Chapter II. — 3. Excess of imports mostly a sign of wealth. 4. Imports and exports (except those for loans or repayments) balance each other. 5. Protection discourages native industry p. 13
- 3. Permanent excess of imports impoverishes, and permanent excess of exports enriches, a country p. 13

- 9. Protection promotes diversity of industries in the protected country p. 29
- 10. Some protected nations are prosperous, therefore Protection is a benefit p. 32

-
Chapter VI — 14. Increase of wealth under Free Trade. 15. That increase not due to the gold discoveries. 16. As to threatening foreign countries with retaliation p. 40
