...instrument as a tariff, with which to foster young domestic industries, but it is perhaps as well that it has not. For debating is not to be revived by the exclusion of foreign samples. The solution lies rather in a change of attitude, and if there be those to suggest the Gallic barbarian listening before the tribune of the Roman senators, we need not in our pride be overly distressed...
