About this book

The book carries the subtitle Or, The Mechanical Extension of Mankind. A section headed IN PERIL OF TRADE asks what will happen, with the raising of trade-barriers by one nation against another among the things it names.

The text states that modern trade evolved from piracy. The text says there was a marginal time in which one was either pirate or trader, agreeably to circumstance, and that the early Greek in his dangerous ship never knew which he was. The text calls it a riddle that industrial civilization, having created to its unknown ends a race of mechanical drudges, requires nevertheless a contribution of human toil more intense, more exacting, more irksome than ever. The text says that for a quarter of a century prices fell continuously, while solemn economic bodies sat pondering the phenomenon.
