NEEDLESS CONCERN.

Because the Mother Country long

ago adopted and has since steadfastly adhered to a policy of free trade it has become the practice of the pro- tection journals of Canada to ex- press grave concern for the future of British trade, and of the nation it- self. They aR'ect to be grieved is that Britain buys so much from the Unit- ed States while selling the Republic so little; they point out .that the vol- ume of United States trade is increas- ing and must soon overtake the great free trade Kingdom, and they are concerned because Britain buys a much greater value than she sells while the reverse is true of t-he great Republic. We notice in this connec- tion tliat the esteemed Examiner, after quoting largely from the St.-John Sun, says :

The immense store ef wc alth held by

against these adverse trade conditions. But it need not be said that they cannot and must not go on forever.

‘ need fear such a. comparison.

As to the adverse balance of Brit-

ish trade, with which the Examiner ,appears to be concerned, it has been,

‘is and will continue to be an evi-

denrice of the wealth of the nation. Britain is doing half the carr in

, ca _ _ Y g ‘trade of the world and receives hun-

dreds of millions annually in this way. The people of the 'United States pay tens of millions yearly to the British ship-owners for carrying their products to market. The busi- ness of carrying is quite as prolitable

`them.for the present, to stand up

All this is calculated to give an

absurdly wrong impression. Why should it be thought remarkable that a. Republic of seventy millions of \English speaking people in America should have nearlv as much trade as .forty millions of English speaking people in the British Isles? As is

S well unown the United States are not

only able to retain the natural in-

_ crease of their population, but have
