I would guess both Douglass and George drew from Paine:
"It is a position not to be controverted that the earth, in its natural, cultivated state was, and ever would have continued to be, the common property of the human race."

Tariffs won't protect industry. They'll only ensure that it'll be uncompetitive when exposed to competition...and in a society where there's votes to be found in lowering prices, industry will eventually be exposed to competition.
I'm for a sensible industrial policy, and so I'm against tariffs.

"If we ever again have a foreign war it will be of our own making. And too strong to fear aggression, we ought to be too just to commit it" -Henry George

But the justness of the "forty acre" donation cannot be controverted. To tell him he was a free man, and at the same time shut him off from free access to the soil...was to add insult to injury, to mix syrup and hyssop, to aggravate into curses the pretended conferrence of blessings. -T.T. Fortune
