Synopsis
The Colonies And Imperial Unity Or The 'Barrel Without Hoops' by Edward Jenkins is a political treatise delivered as the inaugural address of a Conference on Colonial Questions in 1871. The text argues for imperial unity and greater consultation among Britain and its colonies, rejecting laissez-faire disintegration and urging a coordinated imperial framework. Jenkins surveys military, naval, and commercial arrangements, criticizing the current system as inconsistent and insufficient to secure empire-wide defense and prosperity. He advocates a federation of imperial communities built on common citizenship, shared responsibility, and mutual trade, and outlines practical programs such as an emigration service, an education service, and reforms of land transfer. He also discusses the treatment of colonial labor, tariffs, and imperial governance, urging colonies to contribute to defense and participate in imperial decision-making. The aim is to preserve unity and prosperity across the Empire through dialogue, reform, and shared obligation, rather than empire’s dissolution.
