When our simpetatters realized that the trade for which they longed, and which we held be. cause of our warkot being the sheapest, was not to be had by marely longing for it, tuy had to look about for other means. At that time the Continental powers had been trying tentatively how free trade would suit them in a strongly diinted forth, and had found for obvious rea Aone it would not do at all. The question then

The reflection will not, we are quite aware, inducu them to relinquish the Monroe doctrine, but it may induce them to considor whan they apply it that doctrine with such tremendous and far-reaching offoots should be applied with rigid moderation, and without the assumption that it sagares pure good to mankind as well as to the United States-Spectator.
Having had our sugar refineries crippled and then killed by means of there sugur bounties, our country dwused to be a profitable outlet for the colonial raw sugar, aut this fact has naturally also had its effect disadvantageous to as in more than one repost. It loosened the rolations which had existed betwson foreign countries and our own and prepare the field for the competing offers, cheapunod na thay ware by moans of bounties. Such offers were now Lecompanied by shipping and banking facilities which formerly had been ours alous; dud the general result has been that we lost considerable amount of trade.
I do not mean to say that we have con antively driven out of the inde, overy British mauafacturer has probably been fighting tasa fully and has now to be satisfied with greatly reduced profits; but of the rataral extension of the trade of the world, of, which we ought to have had our fair share, wo ban had little or nothing. It has been captured by our com- petitors, who in addition systomatically, earry the war into our own comp.
The long and short of it is that the British manufacturer is gradually hang arouded from the European markets, waist cur Continental competitors, who are the benefit of high pro tentive duties by means of which they coupon the cost of production, carry their goods into our héms and foreign markets alike.
I should be much surprised if the reports from the enlonies which Mr. Chunberlain has bad the good sense now to ask for did not, bear ont this tow. Taking or manufaclarare as alars, I feel sure that they are at baat sa intelligent, honest, hard-working, and enterprising as their rivals on the Continent and in the United States. Give them a fair field and no favour, and they will hold their own; bat if they have to mosti. everywhere bounty.fed competitors, the surprise will soon be that they toutrive to exist at ali St. James's Garetle.
A FORGOTTEN RESULT OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE,
There is one point in connection with the Monroe doctrine which is ten much overlooked, and which we should-like to bring to the alten. tion of thoughtful Americans. This is tho enormous deduction which the Heures doctrine makes from the general wealth and happiness of the world. Its est conreacace is that the mighty continent of South America, which would maintain the entire white race of the world in confort and prosperity, is nearly waste,
and will contiano wasted until timt fur-distant. period when the poptilation of the United States, having overflowed Canada sad Mexico, finds it self once more too numerous for its habitat; and begins to pour still farther southward, and through the Nicargua Canalite the independent
