LAISSEZ FAIRE and people diminishes the wealth and population of the mother-country ; it has never done so, it has always increased both population and wealth at home.” “Every fresh im- portation of food by means of exporting more manufactured goods is an enlargement of the field of production, is like an acreable increase of our land; and has a tendency to abolish and prevent injurious competition. This was the best argu- ment for the repeal of our corn laws” Mr Mill re-enforced a similar doctrine. “ There needs be no hesitation,” he says, “in affirming that colonisation, in the present state of the world is the very best affair of business in which the capital of an old and wealthy country can possibly engages.” The necessity of preserving coaling stations and harbours for our commerce, such as Vancouver, has been another motive which has brought the economic importance of distant possessions into light, and has contributed not a little to the change of sentiment on the subject.
