who favors what ne terms preferential
treatment within the empire. Colonel
Vincent sees that after forty years Of free
trade, with complete command of the
civilized and uncivilized markets of the
world, and practically the free import Of
competing products, each hundred pounds
sterling worth of trade has only increased
10 f216. On the other hand, Belgium, by
judicious trade policy, which she freely
adjusted to suit the current and changing
circumstances of the hour, has increased
her commerce comparatively ESQ more in
each f100 than England, the great carry
ing nation of the world. France strongly
protective, staggering under the stunning
blow of the German war, and the United
States, equally protective, with the terri
bic civil war TO check its progress, have
both made greater comparative advances
than Great Britain. The share of the
aggregate commerce of Europe and the
United States done by the United King
dom in 1854 was 80 per cent, but today
Great Britain does only 81 per cent. of the
whole. The Newcastle, Eng. Journal re-
Gently said:
Free trade is just as far Of today as 1t was
fifty years ago, aud as likely TO be general the
abolition OF fleets and armies, and the turning
OF ordnance works and small arms factories into
public libraries and places for the distribution
OF Golden Club leaflets and the delivering of
religious and temperance lectures.
During the last fifteen years England
has only been able to hold her own as
regards bulk of trade by lowering prices,
keeping wages down to the point of
pauper labor and thus increasing indus
trial discomfort by preventing the working
classes from sharing in the increased
prosperity of the classes who have been
benefited by increasing imports and the
carrying trade, which steadily grows at
the expense of the industrial purveyors
for the home market. Foreign markets
are becoming narrowed and cramped by
the progress of protection along the lines
of higher duties, or reciprocal arrange
ments, which are effective to exclude
British goods. No wonder that under
these circumstances Col. Vincent urges
upon England his scheme of preferential
duties between England and her colonies
as limitation to our present free trade
policy. He points out that under free
trade the foreigner has all advantage and
gives none. He would confine the free
import system to the use of the British
people, and give the British colonies
preference over the foreigner in the Brit
ish market If this proposition means
anything it means the frank confession by
an English member of Parliament that in
the race struggle between free trade and
protection for the trade of the world Eng
land is getting the worst of the battle, and
that something must be done to alleviate
the situation.
