England herself. A still larger portion is so en-
cumbered with debts due to the merchants IN the
mother country, that mortgages are held there upon
almost all the crops, which are accordingly trans
mitted to England. In short, such is the weight
and pressure Of the debts due upon the plantations
that the income is drained to supply the English
creditor, and nothing remains for transportation
elsewhere than to the mother country. In conflr-
nation of this fact, we have the authority OF most
respectable American merchant who has been re-
siding in one Of West india Islands, and has re-
turned since the operation Of the act of Parliament
commenced. He states that op the 5th OF January,
1926, notice was given to the commanders OF seye-
raj American vessels then in port, that they would
be permitted 10 clear out for any part OF the world
EXCEPT Great Britain. Not one OF them made use
of the permission nor, he SAYS, would one OF them
during the year. And why not For the simple
reason that cargo cannot be procured for any 9th


er part of the world except Great Britain; and
there they cannot 20. Thus, then, it will be seen
that this great magnanimity on the part OF GIeat
Britain consists in rendering to us trade which
by the circumstances Of .thc colonies themselves is
la perfect nuity and requiring from us IN return
for such erfreme iiberality the enjoyment OF per-
feet and effective commerce. We trust that nell
ther the people nor the government of this country
will be gulled by so palpabe an artlfice. We re-
auire but fair and honorable recprocty we ask no


avor; we claim no privileges for which we are un
willing to give an equivalent; we would be will
ling TO sacrifice something to remove this bone OF
contention; but we would not submit to sacrifice the
dignity and honor of the country to accept the in
estimable oHer Of nu'luy as a boon journal.
