In 1844 Gladstone broke with his father when, as President of the Board of Trade, he advanced proposals to half duties on foreign sugar not produced by slave labour, in order to "secure the effectual exclusion of slave-grown sugar" and to encourage Brazil and Spain to end slavery.[23] Sir John Gladstone, who opposed any reduction in duties on foreign sugar, wrote a letter to The Times criticizing the measure.[24] Looking back late in life, Gladstone named the abolition of slavery as one of ten great achievements of the previous sixty years where the masses had been right and the upper classes had been wrong.[25]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6212.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6212.txt
