18489627np 1848. 16pp disbound and stitched minor scattered spotting. Very Good. <br/><br/> NUC attributes authorship to Adams identified here only as "a Whig of the Free States." He is appalled at his Party's impending nomination of Zachary Taylor for the presidency. Taylor a Louisiana slaveholder had never voted or participated in civil affairs. His military career most recently in the Mexican War which northern Whigs had generally opposed as an unconstitutional land-grab for slavery was his only public activity. <br/> "He is a Military Chieftain-- and he is a Slave owner and in favor of the Extension of Slavery over new territories." Webster deserves the nomination: "Let there be no wavering none of the contemptible expediency doctrine which leads men to declare in one breath that Mr. Webster is their first choice and to say the next moment that they are ready to vote for General Taylor." <br/>FIRST EDITION.

184866814Tarrif as Essential to Secure Freedom COLTON Calvin. Public Economy for the United States. New York: A.S. Barnes & Co. 1848. First edition. With the inscription "Hon. J. Colamer with Respects of the Author" to the front free endpaper. J. Colamer was a Senator from Virginia. Large octavo. 7 8-536 pp. Publisher's brown cloth gilt spine lettering. Some light foxing throughout. A near fine copy. Born in Longmeadow Massachussets Colton was ordained in 1816 and worked as a pastor in western New York. He later became a professor of political economy at Trinity College Connecticut. He was a strong advocate for the protection of home industries and most of his writings reflect that. Public Economy for the United States is his most extensive work. Colton said he preferred 'public economy' over 'political economy' because the word 'political' had been abused. Political economy is "the application of knowledge derived from experience to a given position to given interests and to given institutions of an independant state or nation for the increase of public and private wealth. Freedom is a thing of 'commercial value' and the parts of the world most free require protection against those less so because the sole object of protection is to maintain and fortify freedom. Protection as opposed to Free Trade thus accords with the principles of the American Revolution" Dorfman II 778. Kress C.7332. HBS 66814. $1500 A.S. Barnes & Co. hardcover books
