Excerpt from Preferential Trade Relations: Between Great Britain and Her Colonies; An Address Delivered Before the Montreal Board of Trade, January 20th, 1896
I may say that since I met Mr. Cantlie I have received a letter from the central'committee, the organizing committee of the great Congress of Chambers of Commerce of the Empire, in which they have done me the honor to invite me to become one of the Vice Presidents. The Rt. Hon. J oseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, has accepted the position of Honorary President of that Congress, and I was gratified - as I am sure you will be - to find that the first ques tion that is to receive the attention of that great body is commerc1al relations betw een the mother country and her colonies and dependencies. (loud applause. I feel quite sure that you will agree with me in attaching great importance to Canada having as large and as able representation as possible from all the Chambers of Commerce and all the Boarus of Trade throughout this wide Dominion. I may say, in passing, that it is not necessary absolutely to send a delegate, because any Board of Trade, or any Chamber of Commerce, will be entitled to name, as its dele gate, if it is not convenient for it to send one from Canada, a gentleman who would have its confidence, and who resides on the other side of the water. I may say that I believe that the present moment is one singularly favorable for the consideration of this great question of preferential trade between the United Kingdom and her various colonies and dependencies, spread all over the world.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book contributes to an ongoing debate about preferential trade relations between European nations and their colonies. In the late 1800s, a series of conferences, including one major conference held in Canada, sparked further discussion on the subject of closer trade relationships within the British Empire. The author, a Canadian statesman and former High Commissioner in London, shares his perspective on the benefits of preferential trade. He argues that it would reinvigorate British trade, which had been in steady decline since 1890. Additionally, he asserts that it would bolster the agricultural industry in the United Kingdom by providing preferred access to colonial markets, thus counteracting declines brought on by large-scale importation of foreign grain. The author backs up his arguments with statistics showing the significant decline in exports from the United Kingdom since the early 1870s. By examining the trade data from the period between 1866 and 1894, the author demonstrates just how much the UK's export trade with foreign countries declined when compared with that of the colonies. He goes on to propose that the treaties in place at that time with Belgium and Germany, which denied preferential trade status to Great Britain's colonies, needed to be repealed. The author argues that ending these commercial pacts with European powers would pave the way for stronger trade within the British Empire. Ultimately, he believes that closer economic ties between Britain and its colonies will lead to increased prosperity for all parties.
