As a necessary consequence of this movement, Great Britain's proportion of all the exports shown in the Table, instead of rising slightly as they did between i860 and 1870 from 26 per cent, to 27 per cent, of the whole, have fallen to but 18 per cent. , and so she has lost the proud position of being the largest exporter in the world, and this place has been taken from her by Germany and Holland. Now, if during these twenty-five years any political, social, or industrial catastrophe had happene...d in Great Britain paralysing her productive powers, however much a Briton might deplore such an event, he could not be surprised at its economic effect. But politically, absolute peace has pre- vailed; socially, no revolution has taken place, and industrially, there has been continuous development. Why, then, has the value of British exports not merely fallen behind, say those of Italy and Spain, in their rate of increase, but practically not increased at all ? Why have Germany and Holland, so far behind her in the industrial race for commercial supremacy up to 1870, shot almost as far ahead of her by 1895 ?
