First published in 1904, this volume emerged during a split within
the Liberal Unionist Party over Joseph Chamberlain's advocacy of
Protectionism through Tariff Reform. Having originally broken with
the Liberal Party over Home Rule in 1885, 1904 saw some Liberal
Unionists return to the Liberal fold. The authors here constitute
those departing Liberal Unionists in a multifaceted rallying call
for Free Trade in the face of Protectionism. Their articles, on
subjects such as Shipping, Agriculture and Engineering, assess the
implications of Free Trade with a focus on each author's specialist
industry. The authors unanimously declare in favour of the system
under which, they maintain, Great Britain developed unparalleled
prosperity and taught other nations her industrial success. In the
process, they demonstrate that trade cannot improve whilst fettered
and focus on the potential for real improvements through Free
Trade.
