Excerpt from The ABC of Free Trade: An Address, Delivered to the West Ham Liberal Association, March 6, 1882

I hope no one will be offended at the title of this lecture. N o doubt I shall say many things which some of you have heard before but my object is to speak to those whose lives are so busy that they have no time to read up a subject of this kind, and trust rather to discussion, to speeches, and to lectures like this for-their political opinion than to books. Before entering on argumentative matter, however, I shall ask you to compare the old Protection days, and the state of things they produced, with the state of things we live under 5 and I shall try to account for the reaction which has arisen in these latter days against Free Trade. I shall then seek to furnish you with a few leading principles upon which, if you once grasp them, you may rely to save you from falling into the traps of those who would lead you astray after which I will deal with the allegations and proposals of the Fair Traders.
