"He was a supporter of Free Trade and Tariff Reform". There is a contradiction in here: Tariff Reform was a policy held by many Conservatives and Unionists because they opposed Free Trade. A New Zealand newspaper puts Dumphreys clearly on the side of Tariff Reform.[1] --Rumping (talk) 18:20, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
