Overview

This is the text of a speech delivered in Manchester on May 2nd, 1892, by J. Henniker Heaton, advocating for Imperial Penny Postage. Henniker Heaton, a prominent figure in postal reform, championed the idea of a uniform penny postage rate throughout the British Empire. In this speech, he outlines the benefits of such a system, arguing that it would stimulate trade, foster closer ties between the colonies and the mother country, and promote social and economic progress. Heaton addresses potential objections and presents a compelling case for the adoption of Imperial Penny Postage. The speech offers valuable insights into the political and economic context of the late 19th century and the evolving role of communication in the British Empire.
