Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scientific Tariff Making: A History of the Movement to Create a Tariff Commission The tariff of any nation is a question of applied science. You must not talk before you know. You must not talk before you do - or talk before you think. This means pure science, which is built on self-evident truths, not on observation and experiment. It means also practical science, which teaches how to do something useful. Science pure and simple is a knowledge of anything pertaining to its usefulness or its necessity, co-ordinated, arranged and systematized. This requires training and skill based on training. It means a logical analysis of the general body of facts. It means the simplification of real facts. All this may sound academic, but if so it sounds a true note. It is not possible to get at the real by means of imagination, but only by a study of conditions. Science has been the real development of everything which has a definite purpose. It is knowledge and knowledge is accomplishment. The word tariff conveys to the majority nothing more than a tax and the majority detest a tax of any kind, simply because it is not understood. We cannot have unless we pay. We cannot ride unless we contribute something to the maintenance of the method of transport. We cannot even walk without wearing out leather or some foot covering, or even the foot itself. There is always a tariff, call it what you will. No country or its government can exist without a means of support and this means is inevitably a tariff. It is bound to hit somewhere, it may have many names, subterfuge, free trade, income tax, but always tariff. Politics can be spelled with it, so can wars and governments and boundaries, trade and commerce, law and order, Socialism and Anarchy, it is all tariff, the God that rules.
