Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents speeches by the author on the subject of Tariff Reform. First proposed in 1903, by Joseph Chamberlain, it was designed to change the UK's system of free trade to one of protectionism and Imperial preference. The proposed reforms were hotly debated and fiercely opposed by the Liberal government of the day, with the then Prime Minister, H. H. Asquith, a staunch advocate of free trade. The author, a prominent supporter of Tariff Reform, here presents arguments he made at various speeches proposing a system of Imperial preference whereby tariffs would be reduced on goods imported from the colonies in exchange for similar reductions from the colonies on goods imported from the UK. This would, the author argues, help to secure a hold on markets in the colonies that were vital to British manufacturing, and assist in countering the growing competition from other industrial nations with protectionist systems, such as Germany and the United States.
