HOW FREE TRADE WORKS.

Rather congratulatory comments IN brltlsh
Journals on the complete returns OF British COM
merce In 1898 have led to comparisons which
bring out some facts OF singular Interest. me
exports OF British products to other countries
were last year almost exactly double those OF
1853, and gain OF 1901 per cent in forty years
appears at first glance not unsatisfactory. IL
IL true that 1853 happened to be n remarkably
small year for exports. which were t6oOOooo
larger the year before. and f14OOOOOO larger
the year after. that the Increase since 1921
has been only e21 per cent and since lSoo only
20 per cent. Yet It would be handsome gain
were not the increase In Imports 80 much
greater. In the following statement the value
Of foreign ana colonial merchandise exported Is
deducted from British imports. showing the
value retained for British consumption ana IS
compared with the exports Of British products'

Net Imports.

Against 100 per cent increase in British exports
there has been an increase Of 1898 per cent in
imports for British consumption. which We're
considerably larger than British exports forty
years ago n that difference 2l.2 per cent, was
n profit on exports sufficient N make the ac-
count balance at that time. similar profit on
exports last year would leave imports amounting
to 1927 6.0C0 10 be paid f1r in some other way
than by exports. AS all know. It is the vener-
able free-trade theory that a big excess or I'M
ports is no unfavorable indication but only an
evidence Of great prosperity. Yet somehow all
the practical merchants and manufacturers call
It satisfactory report when, as in January,
there IL a rather general increase In quantities
~ British goods for which market Is found
abroad and a dismal state Of things when the
failure Of crops compels the country TO buy
more largely. while restricted foreign markets
close up many Of the manufacturing works
That is view much derided by the free-trade
professors. but every practical man takes it in
stantly and acts upon it. and thinks he knows
what he is doing. All the professors in the world
can never persuade British manufacturers that
IT is good thing for them to sell fewer goods to
the Americans and have part Of their shops left
idle while they have to pay larger sums for
products bought from this country.
Just at present Brltlsh TRACE WITH the bIItISh
possessions. and the profits derived by handling
that trade and distributing the products Of those
possessions all over the world appear to consti-
tute a quite large part Of British business. All
know the rapid increase in the productiveness
and the prosperity OF most Of the British colo
MES. and in furnishing them supplies whether
drawn from Great Britain from other coun-
tries and in distributing their products, whether
they go to Great Britain or to other countries
OF Europe or America. the British transporting
interests and the British traders find a large
profit. While the official statement for the last
year is not yet fully published so that details
Of the distribution Of exports OF foreign and
colonial products cannot be separately given,
the following comparison for the dates above
named Will show in substance how greatly the
British trade has been aided by relations with
the colonial possessions.

Tn this statement the total imports are given,
including the foreign and colonial products
shown below as exported. Though the data are
incomplete they suffice 10 show that during the
forty years the British imports from British pos
sessions have increased 1915 per cent. and from
foreign countries 1913 per cent. while British
exports to British possessions have increased
1913 per cent but British exports 10 foreign
countries have increased only 964 per cent
The exports OF British products were In 1898
almost precisely the same as ten years ago. but
trlne lower. while the imports have increased
2i.G per cent In the ten years The failure 10
enlarge markets for British products during the
last decade has been due 10 many causes per-
haps to the unwise management OF British
trades unions more than TO any other one. But
the refusal Of the country to defend and build
up its home industries. even when imports
vastly exceed exports. is n result Of the tradi-
tiona policy which assuredly is not making the
old country richer.
