BRITISH FAkERS.'

New Zealand has begun vigorous
campaign against the practice Of Ger.
tain British exporters of sending for
eign goods to this country under Eng
lish labels. The charge is made that
British merchants buy large quanti-
ties of cheap foreign goods and ship
them to New Zealand and other col
onies as British manufacturers.
Minister of Customs Fisher in re-
cent speech said that he had positive
proof that foreign goods were import.
ed into England and repacked and
shipped as British merchandise to
evade the extra duty that New Zealand
places on all foreign manufacturers.
New Zealand wished to purchase Brit.
'ish goods, according to the minister,
rather than foreign merchandise, and
he pledged himself to do everything
in his power to prevent the unscrupu-
lous British merchant from cheating
the colonial public.
It is said that this form of contra.
band trade is especially rife among
exporters of textile goods. Many OF
the shipments which arrive ostensibly
from Lancashire never saw the inside
of the mills there, but have been so
skillfully remarked and repacked that
the fraud might never be detected un
less they should fall into the hands of
experts, who know the English weave.

PAYING FOR THE NEW FREEDOM

PAYING FOR THE NEW FREEDOM.
Taking q beautifully one-sided view
OF affairs, the treasury department has
issued q flattering forecast Of Uncle
Sans revenues from customs duties
during the rest Of the fiscal year It
is calculated that receipts will exceed
the estimate made before the passage
OF the revised tariff law, because the
last quarter Of the year has been en-
tered upon with falling of of only
ga. 750, 900 from the corresponding in
come last year. As the tarf6 revisers
reckoned on a $4,000, 900 loss OF reve-
nue. this year 1t is argued that there ID
more than enough room In the current
quarter for shrinkage without absorb
ing the balance Of loss duly estimated
Perhaps the computation is correct
although 1t IL hard to tell under pres
emit trade conditions what the govern
ment.s toll from importationsa will az.
grcgate between now and the end OF
June. Still, allowing for the accuracy
Of the treasury's expert mathemati-
clans. 1t 10 to be noticed that their cal
culations take account Of nothing but
income. How about expenditure?
For the first nine months OF the
year or up to the end Of last month,
there was q total excess Of ordinary
expenditure over total income amount
ing to $27,26o, e07. As this compared
with balance Of income over expendi-
ture amounting to 311,951,0S in the
corresponding period year ago, Uncle
Sam was $39 POI $50 worse of on cur
rent account at the beginning Of the
present month than he was on April 1,
1913. The. immediate indications are,
judging from the tendency of revenues
to decrease, that the old gentleman
will continue to 60 deeper, into the hole
as the year advances. These indica-
tons are emphasized when allowance
is made for the prospective, appropria-
lions Of a congress pledged to econ
omy but manifesting the most convinc-
ing signs of an extravagant DISPOSE
ton.
The new freedom has to be financed
and. 1t is beginning to look more OK
persive than the old servitude. Unless
1t takes thought for itself 1t may be
confronted with the necessity Of a gen.
erous bond sale before the expiration
of the calendar year and after that
