Excerpt from Fiscal Reform: Address by the Rt. Hon. James Lowther, M. P., In the Festival Concert Room, York, on Saturday, March 21, 1896 However ready they might be to do their best to assist the agricultural interest, it would mean very little in the face of depression so great as that under which it now laboured, the cause of which was undoubtedly the low price of agricultural produce. In other words Mr. Long places upon record the fact that the Government does not propose even to touch, what he himself says the main cause of agricultural depression, and therefore those of us who desire to follow the injunctions of Lord Salisbury, and to enable the country at large to express a definite opinion on this trade question would be wrong if we held our hand because the Government is pro posing to Parliament to deal with minor matters which may indirectly contribute to give relief to agricultural depression. I may be told there is a Royal Commission sitting on agriculture. With regard to that I have spoken in no uncertain terms as to the manner, in my humble judgment, in which that Commission was composed. In my opinion that Commission was most unfairly constituted. Every person professing opinions in the direction which we advocate from this platform was rigorously boycotted and excluded from that Commission. Not a single person was appointed unless and until it had been ascertained that he had no leanings in the direction of Protection.
