BUY BRITISH GOODS [To the Editor of the SrEcrwroa.]

Sm,—It may interest your readers to know that the difficulty of paying America with our goods, for her heavy shipments to us, is got over quite naturally by America taking the goods she does want, viz., tea, tin, rubber, and other tropical products from India, Malaya, and China, which are in their turn paid by large shipments from England.

No buyer of foreign goods need fear that his action will take work from British workers. The method of payment automatically employs those who most need the employment, viz., our staple export trades.—I am, Sir, &c.,
