Bastiat under- took to prove was that in political economy it was an absolute (by which he must have meant a universal) proposition that freedom in exchanges is, in every case, promotive of opu- lence ; or that every constraint put upon the freedom of exchanges is unfavorable to progress in opulence. His method of proof was to present the case of a great city provisioned regularly without any supervision. He rep- resents that there is never too much, never too little, etc. , statements which it... would be necessary to verify, and which 6 42 REVIEW OF BASTIAT'S SOPHISMS OF PROTECTION. could not be verified.

M. Bastiat alleges that matters would be much worse under the management of a single head with suitable assistants, but he does not prove this ; and a general proposition intended to be the basis of an important science should not rest upon opinion.
