T OFTEN notice in the press some of ray people are advocating Free Trade, which would be feasible if it were universal. You know the trouble England got into through allowing the dumping of German surplusages on its markets and the miserable pittance its artisans were getting. America was not quite so " philanthropic," and has waxed fat on England's shortsighted policy. The Americans are noted for " points," but invariably they are for themselves. Why do not free trades advocate the removal of the alien poll tax? If it were done, il would permit of a much lower rate of wage being paid, and a lower cost of production ; and besides, we would have the cost of maintenance of those subjects instead of their surplusages in goods wth the result that we would soon be brought down to the Asiatic level. Japan, India and China are making rapid strides in manufacturing, and with cheap labour, augmented with modern machinery, they will ultimately be a menace to the British artisan; but evidently this is of little moment to " some," as they appear anxious for cheap labour and goods without considering its disastrous effects to the British workers. It is obvious the products of the soil must be amply protected against foreign importations from countries where land is low in price and labour cheap, otherwise the Dominion must suffer. I quite believe if you were now to offer made-in-Germany goods at a trifle less than those of British manufacture, patriotism, in some instances, would vanish like smoke. AUCKLAND.I
