Excerpt from The Defence of Our Empire: With Special Reference to Canada

All these lately organised territories. Added to the newly opened and rich South African Transvaal and Orange River Colonies offer great fields to the industry and commerce of our race. But they must be guarded. Or they might fall into the hands of those hun gry nations who by protective tariit's drain theeearnlngs from unindustrial and subservient races. So as to enrich alone their own manufacturers and merchants. And to do so bar out any thing like open or alien competition. It will thus be seen that the benefits to be derived from the acquisition of new countries and markets are not benefits to the Mother Country only. But are shared by all of the Empire alike, and if the cost of acquisition fails upon the United Kingdom only. It is only fair and reasonable that the cost and bur den of maintaining and guarding should fall upon every portion of the Empire which shares in the benefits.
