and buyers. Then we purchased for a price. Now we are vendors, and if we take goods in return It is as the price of what we sell. The direct and immediate object, therefore, of all our dealings with Eastern nations is to open markets, to get easy access to the enormous popula tions of these distant countries, to get our manufactures to their doors as quickly and as cheaply as we can. The different nations of Europe have adopted different methods of attaining these ends. Russia proceeds to conquer first and to deal trade, export and import, of the peoples afterwards, securing for herself the entire

Her acqui- sitions subservé, however, other than purely trade purposes, and conquest for the sake of conquest and commerce get sometimes strangely mixed. Holland, Portugal, and Spain, In their day, followed. like methods and acquired colonial posses- sions, the trade to and from which was exclusively confined to their own subjects and their own ships. France have, of late years, very largely England and modified their methods, and Germany has taken up a. position in line with them open markets more than foreign conquest has been their object, and negotiations and treaties the means adopted for the attainment of those objects rather than armies and fleets, although these have not been forgotten or neglected America may be sald to have foresworn all foreign conquest and to have confined herself to legitimate trade, although it is only now she is coming largely into the markets of the world as a producer and exporter. Our French friends have still certain hankerings after the older methods and would infinitely prefer to annex
have unlimited free trade with them. England, on the contrary, does not want a single foot of additional soll if she can only secure real freedom of trade, and that freedom of trade, if she could only get it, she would be willing to share on equal terms with all the rest of the world, trusting to her own ability to hold her own against all competitors in the workshops and markets of the world. Where circumstances have compelled her to acquire dominion, she retains for herself and for her subjects no exclusive privileges. Her ports and her markets are open to all the world. Free trade has now, for the best part of a century, been her able war- cry, and no temptations, however grøst, seem able to induce her to relinqulab it, no selfishness on the part of other nations appears to disgust her with her role of champion of unlimited freedom of com- mercial intercourse.
