Bradford on free trade and protection in a transatlantic exchange
Bradford argues against protective tariffs and corn laws, urging Britain to adopt true revenue-based duties and promote free trade. He cites English reformers, compares free trade to an Alpine plant, and warns that repeal of breadstuffs duties will follow. He recalls shared beginnings with the addressee and endorses a shift toward liberal economic policy.
