PROPOSED REMEDIES FOR DULL TRADE.

Thkiik has been in England a fnvbishing of riut.y old weapons, to fight that ancient enemy, depression of trado ; and tho faith in these antiquo tools has readied Now Zealand. What we want to cure our com mercial evils is Reciprocity, othorwiso known as Fair Trade. Those mimes wero nt first taking with some minds. Thoir euphemism was pleasant ntul soothing. But nftor being bandied about for S or 'J yearn, and subjected to much rough usage-, they arc now no more euphemistic than the term Protection. Everyone can sco with half an eye that all three names describe one and the same thing. , ~.,. Mr J. C. Firth comcH to tho aid of his fellow agriculturists with two proposi tions. One i« Free Trado botween the colonies. This scheme is a good one, *n 1 ono of which might be soon consum netted if men of inlluonce would put their shoulders to the wheel and take a real in terest in the matter. Tho other project, and it forms tho essence of his recent do livornnco, ia thus described in his own words:— " England requires a very largo annual importation of wheat, meat, cheeso, butter, and other agricultural products, to supply the wants of her population. With diilb rential duties imposed on theso articles, which are produced by foreign nations—at no distant date tbe colonies and India would, in the main, supply her wants. Reasonable duties thus levied on tlio produce of foreign nations, whilst similar produce from all parts of tho Empire wero admitted free, would stimulate India and the colonies into a progress and prosperity to which they have long been strangers." Tho abovo sentences havo a very en couraging sound ; as Fluellen would say, " These aro pravo 'ords ;" but their simple fault is thoy will not bear analysis. Stated in plainer language they read thus: Prices in England aro to be raised by a diminution of tho supply; tho colonies aro to benefit and prosper, owing to tho rise of prices. The diminution of supply is to bo brought about by a Customs duty, which will causo prices to rise, and it will be worth while once more to practise agriculture vigorously at Matamataandelse where. For if prices do not rise, how better oil than now will the colonies be ? We have then an import duty to keep out tho objec tionable foreigner and a rise in prices. Now, who pays the duty ? Not tho foreigner, certainly. But the hapless British consumer. And who suffers by the rise in values? That unlucky wight,, tho Britishconsumeragain. He has thrust upon him two extra burdens ; in simple English, ho is robbed from two pockets at once for tho benefit of antipodean farmers. If he submits to such treatment, ho is a bigger fool than oven Carlyle suspected. But moro remains behind. Increased prices would help someone else besides the colonial producer, viz., tho British landlord. That is to say, the very man who has for many generations been enriching himself at the exponso of the rest of tho community, is to have another lift in the scale of wealth.

Tlie fact is, under a system of Protection, somebody has to pay, somebody is robbed to onrich somebody else; and Mr Firth seems not to care who the victim is so long as hi 3 class reaps an advantage. Let the following fact speak for itself. In ISIS there was a differential duty against foreign sugar in favour of the British colonies. It was high enough to enable British planta tion sugar, though 10s per cwt. higher in price than foreign sugar of the same quality, to monopolise tho homo market. In that year tho British consumer paid £3,000,000 moro than ho would othorwiso huve paid, without benefiting either tho public ex chequer or himself. (Bastiat's " Sophismes Economiques," edited by E. R. Pearce.) Mr Firth seems to havo been soundly frightened by that old bugbear of in creasing imports and decreasing oxports. i Surely it is high time, after so much has been written on the subject, that the venerable fallacy was loft to slumber peace fully in a dishonourablo gravo. England, croak the alarmists, is buying more than sho it selling ! Quite true ; tho symptom is a good one, not a bad one. The total im ports of tho United Kingdom in 1882 amounted to £430,039,092, and the total oxports to £327,049,972, leaving a balance in favour of imports of £108,959,120. It is this balance which frightens the unthink ing. But it is a fact to bo proud of. It is a measure, a sign, of English wealth. It shows how riches are increasing in England ; for of what does it ; consist ? First, of freightage paid by foreigners for the uso of English ships, for England is the carrier of the world. This freightago is computed to amount to at least forty-five millions a year. Then there are merchants' profits, insurance premiums, interest on capital, and last, but greatest of all, income from foreign invesiments, for ! England is the great money-londer of the world. This incomealone has beenreckoned to reach over fifty millions per annum. These items mako up tho excess of imports over exports, and ought to mako the economist smile instead of weep. But Mr Firth would seem to sup pose that this flow of wealth into England is j a dangeroue fact, and that tho process should bo reversed, But that will never happen while tho carrying trade of the world is in British hands and British capital enables foreign governments to exist. The reader who would like to sco some authori tative utterances on the point just dealt with could not do better than refer to Chapter 111. of Part 111. of Professor Cairnes's " Loading Principles of Political Economy Newly Expounded." The subject has also boon discussed times enough in Cobden Club pamphlets. Mr Firth quotoa some figures to show the deplorable state of English trade with America. The writer wishes to bo allowed to bring under Mr Firth's notico tho follow ing instructive paragraph from an article by an American, Mr William Henry Hul bert, published ;n tho "Nineteenth Cen tury " for December last. Mr Hulbert says: " The official returns of tho exports of the United States show that during the fiscal year which ended on the 30th of June, 18S4, tho oxports of domestic merchandise from the United States to all parts of the world fell off in valuo 7f1,255,750d015., as compared with tho exports for the year onding 30th of June, ISS3. Our exports of machinery fell off nearly a million dollars ; of genoral manufactures of iron and steei moro than a million and a quarter of dollars. There was a good doal of gunpowder burned in ISS3-4, but tho value of our exports of it foil off a quarter of million of dollars. Tho valuo of our exports of flax and hemp fell from §547,111 in 18S2-3, to §07,725 in ISS3-4; our exports of agricultural imple ments declined during the last year more than a million dollars in value j our exports of cotton goods, coloured and uucoloured, more than twelve hundred thousand dollars. Clearly Protection doos not de volope tho manufactures of the United States. It ' protects' tho manufacturers (which is quite a different thing) against and at tho exponso of the consumers of the United States."

There aro other instructive facts in the samo articlo which those who believe that Protection has made the United States rich and prosperous, would do well to pondor. The present writer is ablo to quote from a business letter, reeerVed in Auckland by last mail, an extract whose meaning lies in precisely the same direction. The letter in question is from a firm of wholesale stationers, and is dated San Francisco, January 13th, 1885. The author says: "We have tried several times to build up a trade with New Zealand, Aus tralia, etc., but found, on account of the heavy duties placed on all imported goods, that it was useless to try and compote with European countries, especially with Eng land, which has no duties, comparatively speaking, at all." So it appears that the United States have not "protected" the paper trade to the pitch of competing with Free Trade countries.

It is a curious fact, which will require some ingenious explaining away, that the party now uppermost in the United States are not altogether satisfied with Protection, and aro inclined to try again the Free Trade system under which they prospered amazingly before the war. It is hardly likely that England will assume what America seems likely to cast off. No; let us have intercolonial Free Trade by all means ; but let us not delude ourselves that England is going to hamper herself with Protective duties to please us. Lot us (if we want to maintain a character for sanity) have something more sustantial to trust in than an ignis fatuus, a Will-o'-the-wisp. J. D. Davis. Auckland, February 23, ISBS.

To the Editor ; Sir,—lt was recently re ported that Mr Hudson was about to issue return tickets to To Aroha at reduced rates, and thus enable a larger number of the public to avail themselves of the benefits of the medicinal baths. On inquiry at the Auckland station, I find that the clerks know nothing about it. If Mr Hudson can carry out his intentions, tho sooner it is done the better, bo that invalids can reap the benefit while the fine weather lasts. To be of any advantage to such personsj the privilege of return should not be less than one week from date of issue —I am, etc . RHEnMATin.
