Excerpt from Commercial Treaties and Foreign Competition: A Treatise on "Fair Trade"It will probably be decided before Parliament again meets whether the Commercial Treaty of 1860 with France is to be renewed, and with what alterations.The following pages have been written to shew the injury that has been done to our manufacturing trade by that Treaty, and by the many others that sprung from it. If we wilfully tie the same burden round the necks of our manufacturers for another ten years, it is but too probable that long before the end of that period, many of our staple trades will be in the same position in which our once ¿ourishing silk trade now is.I have also endeavoured to shew what the real meaning of a Fair Trade policy is, and when we see how slight a blow would sever the connection between us and our colonies, a policy is at least worth consideration, which claims to be able to weld the colonies and dependencies of Great Britain, with the mother country into one powerful Empire.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
