We L it lately stated that the firm with T hicl Mr John Bright, MR, is or was ionndeted, lias a branch m America. The Mandellas have hosiery works in Saxony, There they obtained skilled labour at one «dnV an hour. Can we wonder that Lflemeii like the Jacobys, Brights, and Muiidellasj who pose as friends of the work iiiff man, are " free traders to the back )oi" Manifestly import duties wottld not suit them; nor can we feel surprised at their dreading an inquiry into the causes of Qe depression. These are but a few typical cases of many iriiicn might be adduced to show how rapidly the best and wealthiest of our jßinmactarers are being driven, either to altogether close their works, or tinsfer them to a foreign country. Continental nations and America strive to fep their people at home, and as a means tkyfostef in every way the interests of the jitter, and rightly leave the consumer toiifatfl. Wedo all we can to drive our pMpleitomus, and devote our energies to cheapening in the interests of the consumer. The results we have seen. Yet we persist in Maintaining a system which, scouted not only by all other nations, but even our own colonies, has now been, by this alarming Mfflation of our capitalists, most emphati cally condemned. Let us think what this urination involves. The loss of valuable ana enterprising men, their wealth and the most skilled of their artizans, the teaching of their trade to a foreign country, its enrichment, increased power to compete with tis, and reduced cost of its production. Worst of all, diminished employment for our working men. Sir Theodore Martin lately stated, when addressing a meeting.of tetters, that owing to Spanish competition mainly, 169 lead-mines had been shut up in thi» country, throwing 30,000 men out of employment, and causing ruinous losses to tepitalists, who had invested enormous Bums in opening these mino3 and providing tiacelnery. A similar fate awaits pig-iron producers, for Spain has recently begun to import hematite pig at lower prices than we can produce it. Iron, girders, steel rails, ttindotf.ffamea, sashes, shutters, doors, staircases, coffins even; wardrobes, cabinets, chairs, pianos, and all articles rapiired for furnishing purposes, are now teing largely Sent from abroad. Also rail way carriages, of which, between 1870 and ■«|6, we exported annually, on the average, <OT in number, but of which the export w sine© 1881 entirely ceased. In fact, weftl is hardly an industry we can r,ame, Wuch is not Buffering from this cruel foreign tompetitioh. the Income Tax Ketarns Show. , But we are told that, in spite of all this, ;f Peged depression is negatived by ?e wcome-tax return; and in proof inereof» we are referred to the gross amount under Schedule D, under which «wK profits are assessed-namely, 222 •* the 1885 ' aSaln^ K'W° ln 1884 > these beins the W figures recorded.

on to say: " But it is more difficult to account ior systematic over-production con tinued over a long period, and resulting, according to the unanimous testimony of the witnesses who appeared before us, in little or no profit to the producing classes." Strange it shoidd not have occurred to the Comrnksioners that while we stand ibiih open porte to receive the over-production of the world the result can hardly be otherwise. At page 21 the report points out that while in the last twenty years wages have risen, the profits of capital have fallen, and that " the time may come when the latter will lose all inducement to lend itself to the work of production, and if the employer is driven out of the Held, the labourer will also suller with him." Do we not see, in the fact so strangely ignored by the Com mission, of so many capitalists transferring their works to foreign countries, that it has already come ? It is most remarabkle that in the mass of evidence collected, there is not, so far as we have been able to discover, a single regerence to (his migration. Pro bably it was found more convergent to ignore facts which go so directly to con demn the system we so blindly worship.

Reaction Against Free Trade in England.

Disbelief in its merits is rapidly spread ing, and it is ah immense step gained, that those who advocate a different policy are no longer refused a hearing. Nor are indica tions wanting, that even our statesmen have their faith in the system shaken. We have' it on authority of Mr Chamberlain, that Mr Gladstone was prepared to concede to Ireland. Mr Parnell has told us, that in his interview with Lord Carnarvon, on his stating that this power should be given, r plied, " There am I with you ; but what a row there would be in England !" and the Duke of Argyll lately said* "He was not sure he would not give Ireland power to try the experiment of protective duties." We have seen that the motion brought before the Manchester Chamber oj Commerce by Mr Rmsell, for a reconsideration of the whole question, rvas only lost by one. rote, the immber beinu 21 to 22. At page 77 of the first report of the Royal Commission on the Depression of Trade, we find that the Council of the Chamber of Commerce oj Birmingham, of all places in- the world, recommends —'* The im position of an import duty on foreign manu faclui-ed goods in ail cases icherc the same classes of goods art manvfaclured in this country."* In all parts of the United Kingdom the more intelligent of the working classes, no longer able to reconcile the gross misrepresentations cf Cobden Club leaflets with the hard faCfefl of experience, are rapidly finding out for themselves that the much-vaunted cheap loaf is for them a very dear loaf indeed. Ireland Ruined by Frfce Trade. The evils it has brought on Ireland are incalculable. We have Been the effect on the Irish linen industry. On its agricul ture, the backbone of its existence, the results have been infinitely worse. It is impossible to doubt that the distress pro duced by foreign competition has been the main factor in producing the no-rent agita tion. The decrease in the cultivation of aroble land is shown by the following figures :— 18G9 1881 Acres Arros Wheat land 251.117 tl),tO8 Other corn crops .. .. 1,929,853 1,5'¥",6'2i Potatoes 1,011,837 793,942 Other green crops.. .. 427,058 422,(71 Fiax .. .... .. 229,178 89,197 ,906,043 2.510.238 Her population in 1546 was 8,287,848 ; it is now only 4,887,439. Nor does it appear in a more favourable light when viewed in regard to its action in our relations with our colonies.t

" Had we retained our protection system, and, when we conceded to them self go vernment, entered with them into a customs union, on the basis of a free inter change of commodities, we should have been self-supporting, and they bound to us by an indissoluble tie—we should have gained vastly in political strength. The stream of emigration! would have been diverted to them ; and instead of British capital flow ing to America to assist her in developing her resources, and in constructing her mag nificent railway system, it would have flowed to India. Canada, and Australia, where it is so much wanted, to develop their almost limitless resources." What May Happen in Time of War. Most serious of all is the danger to Britain from her dependence for food supplies on foreign countries, apparenty regarded by lier statesmen with indifference, and wholly ignored by the Royal Commission on the Depression of Trade. We have had the good fortune, since the close of the Napoleonic wars, to escape, save in our conflict with Russia, being involved in a quarf el with a European Power. But is it wise to allow ths com parative immunity of the past to blind us to the possibilities of the future ? It is the "unexpected which happens "—and signs are not wanting in the political hori zon to warn us that we cannot trust to so escape in the future. A combination of two first-class Powers, such as Russia and France, against this country, may be an improbable, but it is by no means an impossible event. Were such to happen— and our weakness invites it—it is by no means certain, under the changed condi tions of naval warfare, we should be able to retain command of the sea. Our insular position, in the past our strength; would then prove our weakness. Our ports block aded, we should be starved into accepting any terms the enemy might choose to dic tate. Such' is the ever-growing danger, with our population increasing at the rate of 340,000 per annum, and home-produced supplies of food annually decreasing, we have now to face. It was Rome's great weakness in the days of her ddcline. God grant it may not prove to be ours ! •' Quern Deus vult perdere, prius dementat." "High prides and plenty," says Adam Smith, "are prosperity; low prices and scarcity are misery." "It is to no pur pose," said Dr. Johnson, "to tell mo that eggs are a penny a dozen in the Highlands ; that is not because eggs are many, but be cause' pence are few." "No nation can pretend to independence which rests for any sensible portion of its subsistence, in ordinary seasons, on foreign, who may become hostile, nations. And if we would see a memorable example of the manner in which the greatest and most powerful nation may in the course of ages come to be paralysed by this cause, we have only to cast our eyes on imperial Rome, when the vast extent of the empire had practically a free trade in grain with the whole civilised world, and the result was, cultivation disappeared from the Italian plains ; that the race of Roman agriculture ists, the strength of the empire, became extinct, the legions could no longer be re cruited but from foreign lands ; vast tracts of pasturage overspread even the fields of Lombardy and the Campagna of Naples; and it was the plaintive c^fession of the Roman annalist that the mistress of the world had come to depend for her subsis tence on the floods of the Nile."—Alison's " History of Europe." A. Williamson.

* Since the above was %n type a motion "in favour of a change in the fiscal policy of this country was carried unanimiously at a meeting of the Birmingham Chamber of Com merce. t Free Trade so called testified by Facts. X " It is a strikihg fact thut during the past twenty years 67 per ceht. of our emigrants have Kdno to the United States, and only 274 per cent, to our own colonies. The more extreme protectionist policy of the United States, So far from repollins emigrants, has operated as an effectual bride to both capital and labour, by holding out the inducement of higher prices and higher waßes."—Final Roport of Ro^al Commission, p.
