Frédéric Bastiat：Economic Sophisms, Excerpt 236

Some years ago three of the great towns of France--Lyons, Bordeaux, and Havre--united in a movement against the restrictive _régime_. All Europe was stirred on seeing raised what they took for the banner of liberty. Alas! it proved to be also the banner of monopoly--of a monopoly a little more niggardly and much more absurd than that of which they seemed to desire the overthrow. By the aid of the sophism which I have just endeavoured to expose, the petitioners did nothing more than reproduce the doctrine of protection to national industry, tacking to it an additional inconsistency.
