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
, the people of Great Britain enables
against these adverse trade conditions.
But it need not be said that they cannot

than lihe _Unit-ed Kingdom. But the
fairer comparison would be between
the British Empire. and the United
Stat-es, and no subject of the old flag
‘ 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-
