The Custom-houses which abounded on our frontier, prior to the late treaties of commerce, these formidable Custom-houses, armed with absolute pro- hibitions and tolls quasi-prohibitive, were also lega- cies of the past. By what series of arguments did kings, the LIBERTY. 147 shepherds of the people, arrive at conclusions like the following : " At two paces from ourselves a cer- tain excellent product is manufactured, far better than all those which we make of the same sort. This is why I forbid... you to use it, for my first duty is to protect your interests." Or, better still : " That fabric, made in London, is not much better than our own ; you may then make use of it without inconvenience, and I author- ize you to buy it, but it has the defect of costing twenty-five per cent, less than our products of a similar kind ; it is necessary then, in your interest, that it should pay an import duty of thirty-three per cent." Or even : " Meat is scarce and dear, the people are badly fed. This is why no one must go and procure an ox in a foreign country, in order to bring it into this kingdom, under penalty of a fine of fifty- five francs." One does not argue irrationally for the pleasure of being absurd, and there is no error which is not justified by some good intention.
