A.D. 1689 —1776. to show what was hurtful. Tke effort bo render trade sub- servient to industry led to B53 PARLIAMENTARY COLBERTISM the day was able to show conclusively that the apparent injury wrought to English industry by the French trade was either illusory, or was indirectly compensated. From this distance of time we can see that there were cases, when the sacrifice of colonial trade to the supposed interests of the realm was detrimental to the manufactures which Parlia- ment was most eager to encourage’. But the indirect effects of trade are not easily analysed or exhibited; even Adam Smith could do little more than point out that any gain, which arose from the mercantilist protection of industry, was purchased at an absurdly dear rate. The simmering discontent which had been felt since the time of Cromwell?, in regard to the rapidly increasing im- portations of manufactured goods from France®, gave rise to a vigorous agitation after 1667, when Colbert revised the French tariffs, and imposed prohibitory rates on English sloth. A document was prepared by Houblon, Papillon md other leading London merchants, which put forward statistical data for asserting that England was a loser by nearly a million (£965,128. 17s. 4d.) a year, in her trade with Frances. The opposition party in Parliament took up the matter eagerly in the following session; but it was nob bill 1678° that they were successful in carrying a bill for the prohibition of French trade. The contest was renewed when James II. came to the throne®, as the prohibition was re- moved and a heavy tariff was imposed instead ; but at the Revolution the Whigs reverted to the policy of prohibiting the French trade’ as hurtful. In spite of the large amount | The Molasses Act, by hampering the New Englanders in their trade, tended to re- quce their ability to purchase manufactures. Ashley, Surveys, 330. Seebelow, p. 482. 2 There are some signs of making common cause with France in the colonial policy of Charles I. (see above, p. 856), but the combined economic and political jealousy of France which was so strongly felt by the Whigs seems to have been aroused by the commercial policy which was pursued by Cromwell and maintained by Charles II. The large imports from France were beneficial to the revenue; and both the Protector and King Charles IT. preferred a policy which placed money in the hands of the executive. This was an important element in the curious process of the formation of parties at the Restoration; the Court, rather than the Country party, were following on the lines 1aid down during the Interregnum. s Ashley, Surveys, 272. 4 Parl.
