The Decay of English Trade British

Tho secret OF the enormous accumulation
Of wealth in the hands Of small portion of
the British people since 1870 is cheap pro-
duction. But the time has now come when
American and European manufacturers can
turn out staple articles even more chcaply
than the British manufacturer. In this
country we havo not only ceased buying all

we have become England IS competitor in the
markets ot the world IN fields Of which she
has heretofore held undisputed possession.
A. tie present time Il wide range Of arti-
cles can be- produced moro chcaply In this
country and IN continental States. simply
because ia those particular industries wages
have not in England fallen to the same cx-
tent that they have here aud in those other
countries. From this cause England is losing
large amount Of her former trade
The decay OF British trade taken in con-
ncction with England's growing dependence
on foreign fuod supplies, has given rise 10 a
widespread feeling of apprehension concern
ing the future among thinking Engli-hmcn.
Leading English journals urge that If a

enough to feed the people without foreign

and trade meetings authorities in all

the lst Of September, there have been an
average Of three thousand cattle a week
shipped to Great Britain from Montreal,
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltl-
more. The shipping Of live stock and dead
meat to Great Britain, now in its infancy,
bids fair in no distant future to assume
enormous proportions. Great Britain is
destined to become less and less an agricul-
tural and more and more manufacturing

a vastly larger product than they now yield.

as to utterly discourage the farmers from
