Nevertheless, this element affects Germany equally with oavselves, and does not vitiate the result of a comparison between the increase and decrease of impons and exports into the two countries during the same period. To wast extent the value of goods has fallen it is difficult to say, nor does Mr. Williama attempt to give any exact estimate as to the percent ge to which- the prices have fallen. He mentions that cotton plece goods in the last thirty years have gone dawa from 5d: per yard to zd.; printed linens from od. a yard to gd., while galvanized iron has dropped in the sime period from 435 a ton to 11 for. Ip 1865 strel manufactores were qanted at £68 zos, in 1894 they had fallen to £3601. It is obvious, therefore, that in the Case of those four e mmodities we should have to do nearly three times as much business in orde tours the same amunt of money. The average, however, is by no means so great as this. Sull, the fact that prices have fallen, and fallen heavily, mast be borne in mind in estimating the significance of Mr. Williams's statistics. Nor must it be forgotten, that it is sometimes possible to make as much prefit when prices are low us when they are high, because the high price of manufactured articles may be due tɔ the high price of raw material. The probability, of course, is the other way; silll, in order to avold any appearance of straining a point, it may be (as well to admit this at once.
