This explanation regarding our Ion of Madagascar trade ts coupled with figures, showing a substantial Increase In our exports to South Africa, and the ol competition of steamship com parries, ei which are struggling eagerly to lnorease ., our export trade, and which Rive our shippers lower freight rates than they ? give English shippers. The exports to di Africa go to British possessions, where tj they are not subjected to legislation designed to retain a monopoly of trade for British merchants. VFt could not pus- si slbly have a more effective object lea- f< aotl to the value of the "open-door" pol- .
