A defence of protectionism and a modest corn law to protect the agrarian interest. An important part of his argument is that the West Indian colonies are being sacrificed to the competiton of the 'foreign slavers'. It should be noted too that Berkeley is one who is, by 1850, arguing that the abolition of slavery was a good thing but has, in effect, shifted ground to the deleterious consequences of failing to defend the planters adequately.
