IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF THE THREE
GREAT COMMERCIAL POWERS.

The following table, compiled by the London
Quarterly, is highly interesting It shows that
the rate of progress in foreign commerce. is much
less with England than France, and that as re-
CARDS exports greater with us than with Eng
land:

The fact that our importation has not increased
shows the rapid growth of our industry, and the
abundant materials for selfsupport in this coun-
try, and when we consider the vast immigration 10
our shores, and the fact that the immigrants on
their arrival and for some time thereafter must
be consumers, not producers, the increase of
our exports is striking comment on the resources
and energies Of the nation

GREAT BRITAIN AND THE SOUTH.

Much is said of the absolute dependence of
Great Britain on the South for its cotton and il
is often assumed that war on her part against
this country, by cutting off her supplies of cot
ton, would utterly subvert her prosperity, II not
existence. That the cotton manufacture is Of vast
Importance TO England is not TO be denied, but it
is often exaggerated.
The whole Of the expectation of Great Britain
in 1919 amounted to f5s s4S, 0i2, including the
value Of the raw material, which in many cases
was Of foreign production This sum, it is esti-
mated, large as it is, is scarcely more than an
eighth part of the annual production Of the Uni
ed Kingdom. Mr.. Spackman, in his work on the
Occupations Of he People, as quoted by the London
Quarterly, makes the following estimate of the
annual production:
Agriculture ESQ, 900 900
Manufactures (deducting the value
of the raw msteriaD $4,000 900
Mining interest = 100000
Colonial interest $4,000, 900
Fisheries 3,oOo,oo0
Foreign commerce, including the
shipping interest, deducting 10
per cent. on the amount of our
exports and imports $4,000, 900
10000 900
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1850-06-06

one-seventeenth of the annual production. Or,
if we deduct fl6 1868, l47 paid out of the King
dom for the raw material, only one forty fifth
Nor does this manufacture, as is often said, give
employme to two millions Of the population of
Great Britain. 1t seems, says the London Quar-
ly, "by carefully prepared digest of the populs-
ton returns Of 1912, presented to Parliament in
1874, that the numbers employed in and about
the manufacture of cotton have been estimated
much beyond, and as far below, the truth. The
actual number, including men, women and chill
dren, amounts to 302,376. The same return
states that the number of boot and shoe makers
is 2l47 $50. Thus it will appear, that the manufac-
ture of cotton goods does not stand in so tower
ingly prominent a position among the sources of
British employment, as is generally believed
even though we take into account a subsequent
statement Of the commissioners that, if to the
number strictly employed upon the cotton fabric
were added those returned as lace and hose man
'''taotusesr e,se. ~tlss, r-"r2stio. Of weayera
spinners, &c, the whole number TO Whom the cot
ton manufacture furnished employment in 1871
might be fairly assumed to be near up half mil
lionD
That England would suffer by the sudden loss
Of her supplies Of cotton from this country, is
certain-great distress would follow, but not pros
tration The final result would be, vast increase
of the cotton product in British India, Egypt
and other countries, and its growth on the African

THE CONSTITUTION AND THE TERRITORIES.

During the debates in Congress on the Terri
tOrial Question, it has been frequently assumed,
first, that the Federal Constitution regards and
treats slaves as property; secondly, that, as the
supreme law of the land, it extends over not only
the States, but the Territories, by its own inhe-
rent force abrOgating in the latter whatever con-

Garnished with a truculent portrait of Mr.
Dods, and sold for 81 cents. This gentlemaD's
theory of the universe is somewhat novel, and his
way of stating it lively and entertaining For
tunately, perhaps, for the theory, it is at least
fifty miles beyond the reach of any test to prove
it-one of his doctrines being, that beyond our
atmosphere, the sun, being pure electricity, be-
comes invisible ALSO that the earth is continually
expanding in size, which must be at very slow
rate, since its diurnal rotation has not varied
1-3OOth of a second, we are told since the days of
Hipparchus We hope some Of the readers of
this little treatise may be prompted thereby to
sounder thought than its author seems capable of
exercising.
