Adolphe BLANQUI (Nice 1798 - 1854) Economist, Deputy of GIRONDE in 1846 - Interesting Letter A.S., from Paris, November 1, 1834, to Mr. POWLETT THOMSON, Secretary of State for Trade in LONDON. (Address), on trade relations between Great Britain and France, the Duchâtel inquiry, prohibitions... You are no more amazed than we are at the deplorable state of ignorance and greed into which our manufacturers have plunged, by their unanimous demand for the maintenance of prohibitions. We are placed between these backward and spineless men, and the exaggerated demands of the traders from LE HAVRE and BORDEAUX, All or nothing, that is the motto of both parties... the prohibitive flood is raised to its foundations and our monopolists have not even feared to threaten the government with the wrath of the workers, as if the progressive freedom of trade were not in the interest of the workers...". - 3 pages in-4° (opening tear with two words missing).
