 b. setting a declining quota on the import of Swiss watches such that the nation's domestic watch-making industry would continue to grow at the same rate as the rest of the economy.
  c. setting a tariff such that the prices of Swiss and domestic watches to the consumer are equal.
 d. gladly accepting the subsidy of the Swiss government, making the appropriate adjustment for the resources temporarily displaced from the domestic watch-making industry.
