ABSTRACT

The second of the grand objects of colonization is the creation of a market for the surplus produce and manufactures of the mother-country; and I should consider it expedient and necessary for Great Britain, in conceding entire freedom and independence to any of her full grown colonies, to make effectual provision, in any Treaty of Independence, that no hostile tariff should be established against her in the country acquiring its freedom, for a certain fixed period at least – say Fifty Years.
