PRODUCE FOR PROFIT. 
G reat Britain throughout aii modem 
history has been a commercial and utili¬ 
tarian nation. If this had not been so the mere 
geographical speck occupied by this nation on 
the face of the globe could not possibly have 
attained to the prominent position now enjoyed 
and admitted by the force of its enterprise and 
corresponding wealth. There have been ebbs 
and flows in its prosperity, and from time to 
time one or other of its great industries have 
been periodically inflated and depressed. Its 
population has been continually increasing, and, 
subject to temporary checks, its trade expanding. 
But it was not to be supposed that other nations 
would be content to look on and let us take the 
lead unchallenged in the field of production for 
meeting the wants of the world. The extra¬ 
ordinary developments in rapidity of com¬ 
munication and the transference of commodities 
forbade that, and we have now formidable rivals 
in many lands. 
Though we inhabit a small island there is no 
such thing as isolation, and the days of 
monopolies are past. It is, so to say, as easy 
now to pass from nation to nation, even to the 
uttermost parts of the earth, as it once was to 
pass from county to county across our little 
territory from east to west, or north to south. 
As a result we have now, in practically every¬ 
thing we produce as a nation, keen competitors 
in other lands, distant as computed by mileage 
only, and for commercial purposes very near, 
even on speaking terms. The time has gone for 
ever when each civilised nation will be content 
to supply its own needs alone, and each is now 
striving to meet the wants of the other. This 
rivalry in produc.ion is bound to go on, and 
many who engage in the contest must of 
necessity find it “ hard to live,” and some in the 
very nature of things will “ go under.” 
The harder the times become as affecting 
certain industries the greater the pressure will 
be on our legislators to remove obstacles and 
make laws for the benefit of such industries. In 
this reference it may be well to bear in mind that 
legislators are made by the community, and the 
fact that this is very “mixed” renders the 
process in any particular direction provokingly
