The Tariff Reform League (TRL) was a British pressure group formed in 1903 to protest against 'unfair' foreign imports and to advocate imperial preference, a system of tariff concessions, to protect British industry from foreign competition. Well-funded, the League, which was disbanded after WWI, included politicians, intellectuals and businessmen. Ref: Wiki.
