Washington, D. c.
For the year 1892 the clearances
from all ports Of the United Kingdom
to al ports in the united States
amounted TO 1887, s2s registered tons.
During the same year there were
t.lO9,po, registered tons entered at . ]
United Kingdom ports from the United
States.
Only 80 10 per cent OF the total en-
tries and clearances we o to the
United States. The balance OF 2,l1l,-
...29 tons was engaged in the triangular
trade. This triangular trade Is, OF
course, against the interests OF the
United States and ,ainst all theories
of reciprC cal pursuit OF wealth, or
VII CHI the economists OF the British
school place SO much weight.
In trade that was really reciprocal
the tonnage emp Dyed in bringing
good to the United States should also
be employed in taking goods from this
Cnitel States to the country from
which we buy This, however, is not
the case and has not been the case
since We gave up both discriminating
duties and The restrictive clause Of our
act OF 1928
As a matter OF fact the course OF
trade now, with Rio JaneirO for in
stauce, where at Cne time . ler cent.
of the shipping in that harbor was
under the American flag, ami where
the American flag is now nearly un-
known in commerce, British ship
loads at British port with goods of
British manufacture. which are sold
at Rio de Janeiro for coffee and bills OF
exchange on London. The coffee is
sold in New York for grain and bill:
of exchange on London. The two sets
of exchange and the grain sold in En-
gland give profit to the English
banks, manufacturer: ard the vessel
owners, and more goods are bought for
another triangular voyage.
There ara several results from this
state of affairs that are highly bene-
fetal to British in tustries and British
capital. In the first place, any Ameri-
can not selling shipload of goods
must send his goods to an English
port before he can compete with an
English manufacturer. This causes
us to be more and more the producers
OF raw material for British consump-
! tion and manufacture, or, as one OF
their writer's expressed it, "hewers OF
wood and drawers of water to them. y
1t also makes Lond n. instead OF New
York, the point on which all exchange
is drawn and also the place of largest
accumulation OF the wo Ids capital.
This hinders both cur employment ol
