Importance of Export Trade and Protective Tariffs
The article argues that every dollar in circulation underpins credit and that exports influence industry. It recalls how tariff policy affected imports and exports, notes the postwar gains from a favorable balance, and urges a tariff based on protection to restore prosperity, ending with a note on self denial.
