commerce as a conflict in which the success Lof one party implies a corresponding loss to the other. They are convinced that foreign imports drain their country of its wealth; they seek to curtail the privileges of the foreign trader in 'overy way; and their aim is to produce for themselves the piesgoods and other commodities which they have hitherto imported." That is all very tea; but of what country in the. world cannot the same be said? In every country the ratno jealousy of trade is mani- fested, the sarue. grudging admission of fowsign imports, and the same determination to oust the foreign manufactured article wherever it may be possible to imitate it. We can, indeed, find an almost exant parallel to the case of China in the com-engineer in the Public Werks Department, and mercial history of England, and many readers will probably be familiar with the writings of DAVID HUME, the historian, combating tho "anti-foreign feeling which prevailed in commercial circles in his day. So long as rivalry is good-natured we eaunot complain: though it may injuriously affect certain lines of imports, it will lead to great increase in others. Thus, as Mr. Kun says, the establishment of factories in Chim affords an ever-widening opening for the use of imported machinery, and, in the second place, the national movement is signalised by efforts which are likely to assist the development of national resources and react on commercial prosperity. As in the case of Japan, and indeed every other progressive country, some lines of imports
