| Abstrakt: | The article focuses on the system of public trading houses, which goes back to colonial days in the U.S. The Continental Congress accepted a plan presented by a committee of which Benjamin Franklin, who saw the importance of regulation of the trade, was a member, whereby £140,000 sterling was expended at the charge of the U.S. colonies for Indian goods to be sold at moderate prices. The system was far effecting its object and had small respect for a government that traded. |
