THE FAILURE OF TRADE CON-
MISSIONS.

traoe Is seldom benefited by l0sls-
laiive egactments or interference Of
any kind. II has its own laws, cor
reefs It's own evils, revives by its own
energy from TIN own dspressions and
achieves its own successes. The moro
government undertakes to regulate
trade, in nine cases out OF ten the more
confusion is created.
This government has had way of
appointing tariff, labor and other com-
missions, whooe business was to en-
quire INTO the condition OF trade, the
causes OF its depression, etc. In every
case the appointment % the commits
sion came to naught. A government
commisaion, il would for o tlmo live
Ia grad style, take volumes of testi-
mony, make u bulky report 10 Con-
gress and there the matter would
sleep. Bus, aside from this, these gov
eminent commissions cannot get the
facts. The sources Of the best informs
alton are unknown often and nearly
always closed to them. Men in busi-
ness do not care to bother with such
bodies because they do not anticipate
any beneficial or practical results
whstever. Tho good business man
has learned that business regulates
itself and ID only confused by govern
mental interference; hence he treats
the "trade commissioner with con-
tempt, or at lozst indifference.
This appears 20 be the fate that has
boiallen The trade commissioner sp-
pointed with such a flourlah Of trum-
pets, by tho last British Parliament, to
mako enquiry into tho causes of the
depression Of trade in England.
The Glasgow correspondent OF the
BrndsEreets writes that the royal
commission on the state OF trade is
meeting with unforeseen and serious
difficulties. Several important cham.
bers Of commerce have refused TO sup
ply Information. 1t ia not unlikely
that those refusing TO testify, do so
under the clear conviction OF tho ulti-
mate uaaleasnoss Of the inquiry.
In commenting on this Information,
Bradstreets' Journal advances that
only the newspaper is the agency for
carrying on such Investigations. 1t
says in such connection:
"The trouble Is, as wo have more
than onco pointeG ont, that commits
sion 10 iittie emitted TO carry on success-
fully such M inquiry as the ono in
hand. A distinct linz exists between
newspaper and government publicity.
