Extension of the Foreign Market by Free Trade and Peel's Tariffs
A historic discourse argues free trade as the basis for lasting commerce, warning against protectionism. It advocates unilateral open markets, denounces tariff walls, and urges gradual reform of duties, especially on corn, timber, sugar, coffee, and silk, to lift revenue and national wealth while boosting exports and reducing prices. It stresses reciprocity is not required, and England should lead by example toward broader free trade.
