Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Customs Union Question

Such is briefly my proposal for the outline of an Imperial Customs Union. It is not what I should like it to be, a Customs Union on the basis of free trade within the Empire, but it is in my judgment the nearest we can attain to it at present. I put this Imperial Free Trade before me as an ideal.

But on earth we must content ourselves with what is feasible and attainable, and cease crying for the moon, or losing solid advantages in the obstinate adherence to an abstract theory.

And now that I have unfolded my scheme, I shall endeavour to show how this scheme will be beneficial to this country and the Empire.

Excerpt from The Customs Union Question

I. Reasons for the Commercial Federation of the Empire.

I know of no subject which even approaches in importance this question of Fiscal Reform, or in other words, the terms upon which we shall do our vast import and export trade with our Colonies and foreign nations. And yet there is no question which is so little discussed among us. I remember the time when it was sufficient to utter the watchword Free Trade in order to scare away all argument. That time has passed away, and a more intelligent and temperate attitude is being assumed towards this momentous question.

The reasons for this more tolerant attitude are not far to seek.
