About this Quote

This quote by Henry Charles Carey is an objection of the British system of free trade. He is recommending that by embracing this system, the United States is straightening itself with the very same individuals who have triggered so much destruction as well as suffering in other countries. He especially states Ireland, India, and China, all of which have been adversely affected by British imperialism. He indicates that the same destiny awaits the United States if it remains to embrace the open market system. He is advising that the exact same people that have actually caused so much harm in various other countries will now be able to do the very same in the United States. He is advising the United States to reject the free trade system as well as instead seek a more fair and simply economic system.
