this view. the experience of the English

The plea Is on its face a promising
one The value of imports into China
from Hongkong has nearly trebled since
1881, and the same rate Of increase has
held for exports from China to the free

HongkOng have nearly doubled, and are
increasing each year at rapid rate.
So far the record is clear. and points
TO the advantages OF free or open port.
No light is thrown on the principa. point
to be determined-how far has England,
or the United States. or Germany bene-
fitted by this increase?
The exports Of British goods 10 this
Asiatic port have fallen off in value by
one half since 1881, and the imports by one
third. The entire trade forms but a very
small item in the total movement Of Eng
lands foreign commerce. The United
States might be looked upon as somewhat
more favored than the United Kingdom
in its trade relations with the East, but
it has not derived material benefit from
this development Of Hongkong
Hongkong figures in the total trade OF
the United States for less than four
tenths Of l per cent.-a proportion hardly
worth considering. Even Germany, with
its restless and pushing commercial poll
cy, passes over Hongkong, and seeks TO
build up its interests in China itself
