BASIS OF ENGLAND'S WEALTH.

A sentence from the a-tic,e bv Lord
Masham, president Fair-Trade cub, is
worthy Of thought:
.Free-trade England levies a larger
amount OF customs taxation, both IN
amount and reckoned by head Of popu-
lation. than any ether country IN En-
rope. But she does so only on nom
oompesing imports, whilst admitting
free every commodity which eonpeses
with. urdeIsells. or e1tinguishes home
production Was there ever apparently
so suicidal a policy: And yet British
free-traders Save tie mark.), and e.
peciaIly the Golden club OF to-day,
vaunt such policy to ba the essence
Of wisdom
This Is exactly the tariff for revenue
only" system by which We are to raise
our needed $500. 600. 000 yearly under
democratic pledges, # they carry them
out 1t fails to give England prosper
ity. Lord Masham says:
I'm spite o; the manms Of political
econom: and Of the repeated contention
OF Golden club writer's. exports OF goods
have not paid. and do lot pay, for all
the imports into the United Kingdom"
BE then gives figures showing that,
from 1875 to 1891, they bought 81. 49,
DOC, 900 more than they sold. the i'm
ports in 1s90-91 exceeding the exports
by s545. COO, 000-a risky balance Stin
more, he saws:
"Were it necessary, it would not be
difficult to show that instead Of the
protective period OF 1s15-46 in the
United Kingdom having been one Of
gloom aad adversely. it was not merely
the contrary. bat that the foundation
of the future wealth and prosperity Of
British traders were laid during those
years"
