Excerpt from Is Cheap Sugar the Triumph of Free Trade?: A Second Letter to the Rt. Hon. Lord John Russell, &C., &C., &C, My opinion is, that sugar cultivation by free labour cannot yet withstand competition on equal terms with slave labour, and that freedom should be nursed by protection for a considerable time to come. How long that time should be, you will under stand I cannot say.If there be no protection, the cultivation of sugar will dwindle in all the windward islands excepting Barbadoes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
