I think you might find some really interesting influences in Alexander 
Hamilton.  Isaac, Asher _International Trade Tariffs and Commercial Policy 
_, Irwin 1948 was a standard text way back when and states p 150, "In his 
analysis, Hamilton practically repeats the basic arguments used by Adam 
Smith in His WON.  More than that, the language and expressions used by the 
two men are very much alike....." But you get the drift, as he notes 
agreements and disagreements with Smith in the Report on Manufactures. 
        There was also a New England preacher of the time that a Pol Sc 
professor indicated had strong Smithian roots, but I don't remember his name. 
        The area is certainly one that is underdeveloped. 
        Good luck.
