Excerpt from A Selection Reprinted From Speeches Delivered in SurreyThe object of this and similar associations is to prevent the Unionist party from becoming irrevocably committed to the policy of Protection. How are we to prevent it? Our leader, the Duke of Devonshire, has given the answer. He has said that the duty of every Unionist Free Trader is not only to refuse his support to any Parliamentary candidate who will not pledge himself to repudiate Mr. Chamberlain's policy, but he has even gone so far as to say that it is his duty to vote against him. Our Protectionist friends seem quite unable to understand our position. A gentleman in this town said to me somewhat angrily, I can quite understand your not voting for a Protectionist candidate, but I cannot understand your voting against him.' Now those who use that language entirely fail to appreciate the magni tude and importance of the issue which is before the country at the present time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
