Letters of Cotton Twist on Peel tariff Union
Cotton Twist argues that Sir Robert Peel is not a reliable Free Trade ally and urges unity among Free Traders. It critiques Peel's tariff proposals, questions revenue and elasticity, and warns against trusting political compromises while proposing cautious, principled resistance. The letter displays historical political debate and references Gladstone, Morality, and sugar tax concerns.
