American Manufactures Abroad.

late Liverpool paper, in article upon British and
American commerce, has the following remarks The
writer attempts to show that the recent change in the
English navigation laws has been detrimental to the Brit
sh interests in that quarter but tina, il has been highly
favorable to American shipping and American manufac-
lures. We copy his statement TO show the course of
business in relation to American and British manufac-
in India, where it would seem from this authority
that fabrics have nearly fair chance as compared
with their British rivals and thus supersede them in the
market This is pregnant commentary upon the pro-
posed restoration of the minimum and specific duties of
the tariff of 1912 upon coons and wooens for the sake
Of protection:
'One OF the earliest measures of Lord Dalhousie he
present governor general of India, was wild an,icpa-
ton OF the repeal of the navigation laws he,e to sweep
away all the counterparis OF those laws there This has
OF course, conduced to the benefit of American shppng
1t seemed TO the powers that be- not enough that a se
cial act of Parliament, for we could never dis
cover empowered the shipping of the United States to SUI
persede our own shipping IN English ports, and
TO carry cagoes OF British manufactures 10 British India
on the self same terms as British shipping
1.-The authorities IN India have FASTENED the adoption
OF navigation policy which peculiarly plays the game of
the American shipping English vessels cannot carry one
sxpence worth OF freight coastwse from port to port in
America yet American vessels can now carry freight
codNuse from port to port in an Indian empire This
with facilities for carrying cotton 10 China and the Ia
vorabe terms in which they can import American manu-
iactured coons IN India, are already yielding their nau
raj and bitter fruits.
"ln unfortunate conjunction with this relaxation of
the navigation awsa relaxation which already crowds
our Indian ports with remarkable increase of American
vessels-here the ill-considered assimilation as
nearly possible, between British and American cotton
goods The import duty into lada, on British, was
raised from TO per cent and was simultaneously low
cred on American fabrics from 30 TO 10 per cent
" 1t needs to predict The fatal consequences On
y the other day. the Peel organ talks gbly of American
manufacturers gdng up their strength TO enter on the
race of competition with our own manufacturers in our
opn markets OF the East. With all Difference we assert
that the political prophet is too late in the field His
predictions had previously become history On high
