ABSTRACT
The subjection of the State to the capitalist interest could not very well be more complete than it is in America; and the subjection of labor to both the nobility and the capitalists is carried in Germany to lengths which the authors have outgrown in England. It is not sorry to see those Liberals who would not listen to the Fabians confronted with a formidable agitation for something that shocks them still more than Fabianism. The more convincingly the Free Trader demonstrates that under protection the authors should need more labor to supply our wants than at present, the more strongly he recommends it to the man who lives by selling labor. It is true that the more skilled of the pro-Tariff economists are prepared to prove that the effect of the Tariff would be just the opposite; that it would stimulate the employer to higher efficiency and method and greater economy in unskilled labor.
