Sure a quote from Ben Franklin "no nation ever ruined itself by free trade".

"....a quote from Ben Franklin "no nation ever ruined itself by free trade".

From which of his personal writings did you lift this alleged quote? Perhaps you are relying upon a self-serving globalist hack like Rushmouth? Please also include documentation supporting your claim that President Jefferson was anti-tariffs. You will recall that tariffs were, at that time, the primary revenue source for central government expenses.

Sources are the only medium of exchange in the FR. Credible sources that is.
