=COMMENDATORY OPINIONS OF PERSONS WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK=
_From the late Professor Goldwin Smith, Toronto, Canada_
“It is not only a most decisive confutation of the Protectionist
fallacy, but a rich repertory of illustrative facts. If anything can
successfully contend against the passion for the accumulation of
wealth, entrenched as it is in political power, Mr. Franklin Pierce’s
reasoning, supported by his array of the results of experience, will
prevail.”
_From Miss Ida M. Tarbell, author of “The Tariff in Our Times”_
“It strikes me as being an unusually interesting and important
presentation of the subject. I have never seen a better comparative
statement of British and American shipping than your vivid chapter. I
wish it could be widely read.”
_From George A. Fuller, Master of the New York State Grange,
Philadelphia, N. Y._
“I consider it the most useful contribution to the literature on the
trust question that has ever been published.... absolute fairness in
dealing with a question that few men have the ability to discuss
without being influenced in their judgment by the traditions and
policies of their favorite political party. He has given us a treatise
... which appeals to men’s reason and common sense, regardless of
their party affiliations. The chapter entitled ‘A Talk with Farmers’
is unique in its force and simplicity, and in the crushing force of
its logic.”
_From David Starr Jordan, President of Leland Stanford University_
