and nobody need be bound by it. Bub this is still a very real statute to John Bull He thinks of demand as a limited amount of trade and of supply as a volume of goods bigger thin this supposed demand. If the other fellow gets a fat order for goods looks to him as though his own margin of possibilitis had been shrunk by just that much; and if the other fellow happens to be a German it-throws John Bull into a patriotic funk.
The Britisher's conception of demand is different from ours because he seldom deals directly with the consumir. All of his goods go through middlemen and broker. Even the payments are handled through middlemen-the bankers. Naturally the consumer's proferences and wishes travel back to the manufacturer very slowly over that long road; and most of them never finish the journey.. The manufacturer has no way of stimulating trade; his goods lack individuality; he is at the mercy of every competitor who can quote a lower price, and is continually losing trade through the passing of foreign tarifs.
