Lowe soon made his mark in the political world by his clever speeches, particularly on finance and education; and besides obtaining a large legal practice, he was one of the principal writers for the Atlas newspaper.
Lowe, a Liberal of the school of Canning and Peel, had already made known his objections to the advance of "democracy"--notably in his speech in 1865 on Sir E Baines's Borough Franchise Bill--and he was not invited to join the new ministry.
Lowe was a rather cut-and-dry economist, who prided himself that during his four years of office he took twelve millions off taxation; but later opinion has hardly accepted his removal of the shilling registration duty on corn (1869) as good statesmanship, and his failures are remembered rather than his successes.

Robert Lowe, later Viscount Sherbrooke, played an important role in the late-Victorian methodological debate between the orthodox and historical economists known as the English Methodenstreit.
Lowe adhered to a particularly narrow and immoderate version of the orthodox conceptual framework, and his own orthodox colleagues criticized him for brazenly holding doctrinal beliefs similar to those which Marx had earlier labelled 'vulgar'.
Lowe's immoderate pronouncements subsequently made him a highly visible and easy target for historicist criticism, as well as a source of embarrassment for his more moderate orthodox colleagues.
