GREAT BRITAIN IN THE JYORTD,S
MARKETC

One Of the chief arguments for free
trade in Great Britain has been that
it promotes foreign commerce and gives
that country commanding place in the
markets OF the world 1t is indisputable
that since the adoption of free trade
there has been an enormous expansion
of British commerce and the United
Kingdom has won a leading DIare in
the markets Of most countries. More
over. it is urged by those who advocate
the maintenance Of that system that
British pro0ucts and British exports are
still increasing. Yet, on the other hand
1T is as strenuously, and apparentIy as
piausbly, argued by the advocates of
tariff reform that under and because Of
free trade Great Britain is steadily los
ing her once predominant rank in the
worlds markets.
Mr. John III. Schooling, the we'll
known statistician. has supported this
latter thesis IN an elaborate series of
statistical articles In "The Morning
Post" of London in which he has ana
lyzed the tendency of British foreign
trade from 1880 TO 1907 in the markets
of thirty countries including practically
all important lands excepting Mexico.
Central America and South AmerjcD
The result is demonstration that in
twenty-five countries. Including all those
Of first rate importance among the
thirty, British trade has proportionately
declined That Is TO say. those countries
now receive from Great Britain con
siderably smaller proportion of their
imports than they did In the other
five, all comparatively small countries,
the proportion of British goods has in
creased. That is not altogether salts
factory showing. 1t would be far more
agreeable TO England to know that she
WAS increasing her proportion Of the

TWO KTNDS or SERVICE

Reports come from Vallejo, Cal, of
the heroic act of the fireman of a
wrecked locomotive, who was scalded
so badly that he may die of his in
juries, but who, despite that fact, ran
down the track to give warning signals
TO an oncoming train, falling senseless
and perhaps dying just as his mission
was successfully accomplished
Reports also come now and then of a
rear-end collision which occurs simply
because train hand was too lazy, un-
faithful or stupid to go back the re-
quired distance with a danger signal,
but remained standing by the last car Of
the stopped train or squatting on its
steps
There are two kinds of service. with a
world of difference between them; and
one Of them is as deserving Of condem-
nation and punishment as the other is
of praise and reward.

supplies of every country. Yet 1t may
be that Mr.. Schooling goes to an extreme
when be exclaims, I'VE shall perish as
"a nation and as an empire ii we con-
''tlnue along our present course" For it
is possible for British trade to be act
ually increasing and yet to be proper
tionately decreasing. Indeed, seeing
how greatly manufacturing industries
have been developed in Germany, the
United States and elsewhere, it would
be strange If such were not the fact.
Take, for example, the case OF Natal,
which Is the last country cited by Mr..
Schooling as one in which Great Brit
ain has seriously lost rank. In the
years 1880 TO 1889 Natal got an aver
age of S0.7 per cent of its imports frem
Great Britain and In 1898 to 1907 only
$50. Thus there has been. says Mr..
Schooling, "a large and continuous fall"
That is indisputable. Yet in the former
period Natal imported from~the United
Kingdom an average of $9,050,000 a
year and in the latter $29,000000. "a
large rise" comedies Mr.. Schooling. 1t
is, indeed. The actual increase in 3rit-
ish trade has been 220.4 per cent, while
the proportionate decline has been only
2I6 per cent. The logical conclusion
seems to be. therefore, that British
trade is increasing at rapid rate, al
though the productive power of other
countries is increasing more rapidly.
Great Britain has not and may never
again have so nearly a monopoly OF
the worlds trade as she had some years
ago, but she seems likely to have enough
to prevent her from perishing as a ma
ton and an empire, according to Mr..
Schooling's pessimistic prophecy.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The Standard Oil Company wishes
to enter an emphatic protest against the
charge made in certain newspapers in dis
cussing the price of milk that the Standard
Oil Company is interested In either Bor-
denis Condensed Milk Company or the Corn
Products Refining Company. 1t is absolute
ly false. The charge has been made and
denied before. but is reiterated. neverthe-
less. That the aim is to affiX at any cost
sensational stigma upon the Standard Oil
Company may surely be assumed when one
reads such a headline as STANDARD Oil. by
Sly Trick, Robs the Farmer of His Profits"
and knows the fact, namely, that the
Standard Oil Company has nothing what
ever to do. either through direct or indirect
ownership of shares or by the most remote
community of interests, with any company

THE GOVERNORS CABINET.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS suggested by Governor Hughes,
that the Governor of the state appoint his
own heads OF departments. how did 1t ever
come to pass that in the formation of this
government the governors or the states did
not have cabinets, as the President does?
Were the politicians at work on the offices
in the very beginning of things? Would
1t not now be far better plan If the gov
ernors OF states appointed their cabinets,
as the President does? Is there any reas-
enable objection TO such a plan? Would
the people OF the different states oppose
such g. proposition If placed before them
for acceptance? Has the matter ever been
agitated to any extent? Some light on ths
subject would be thankfully received bv
a good many people seeking what Is hest
for the public welfare. INQUIRER
