Liberty and Property Defence League
- Liberty and Property Defence League
The Liberty and Property Defence League (LPDL) was a historic organization, founded in 1882 by Lord Elcho, for the support of "laissez-faire" trade. It served as a lobby group for industrialists and land-owners who were agitated by trade unionism, socialism, and the Gladstone administration, but attracted also many individual liberals.
The League continued to exist until the 1920s, but its president, Wemyss (Lord Elcho), resigned as president in 1913. This was after the individualism of Spencer died out, which was the main "raison d'être" of the League.
A weekly pamphlette put out by the League was called "Jus: A Weekly Organ of Individualism", which was edited by Wordsworth Donisthorpe.
