| To GENERAL DUR GREEN,
| DEAR SIR In our confirmation respecting free
trade movements, and free trade opinions, you seem
ed to be imperecty informed of the rise and progress
! Of the present free trade movement.
| You seemed to think that the move had originated
with the Wing Government and that they had bold
ly faced the opposition of he Tories, and had fallen
victims to their efforts to promote free trade. But
that is not the truth, although, l admit, the Wings
and their retainers have done all in their power to
claim the merit of being free traders and, Also to
claim the sympathy OF all free traders alleging that
they fell the field Of action, and that the cry at
the general election in l6il did not protect them
from the triumph Of the Tories alias the Monopo-
lists.
From the year 1880, when the Wings came into
office, to the end of the year 1910, they had
whelming majority in the House of Commons, and
might have carried our free trade, as well as Parlia
mentary REFORM if they had been really and honestly
what they now claim TO be-fiee traders They began
Parliamentary reform and carried 1t out to the ex-
tent they did, solely because the People demanded
reform, and that they could not retain power unless
they did carry out reform.
After the passing of the Reform Bill, the elections
gave the Wing Ministers an overwhelming majority
in the House of Commons the Arisocracy the Clergy,
and the Corruptionists were all alarmed and unable
to stand against the popular will and the popular re-
representatives. and we looked forward with confidence
TO The gradual removal OF all existing monopolies,
