安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

"Well," said Mr. Blaine, "we don't look at it in that light. I am interested in railroads, and we formerly used to pay you for steel rails ninety dollars per ton for every ton we got--nothing less. Now, just before I sailed from home our people made a large contract with our friend Carnegie at thirty dollars per ton. I am somewhat under the impression that if Carnegie and others had not risked their capital in developing their manufacture on our side of the Atlantic, we would still be paying you ninety dollars per ton to-day."

白话

核心是:保护本国产业,有时反而让本国消费者少花钱。布莱恩回应张伯伦:我们不是这么看的。我关心铁路,过去我们每吨钢轨要付你们90美元,一分不少。这次我出发前,我们的人刚和卡内基签了大合同,每吨只要30美元。我认为,如果卡内基等人没有冒险在大西洋这边投资建厂,我们今天可能还在付每吨90美元。这说明:竞争和本土产能会压低价,关税保护是否值得,要看它是否换来更低的长期成本和更强的产业能力。

上下文

布莱恩在宴会上从铁路用户角度反驳张伯伦对美国关税保护钢轨业的批评。

今日一问

你支持或反对某项保护政策时,是否看过它带来的实际价格变化?
