15. Экспорт слитков (p. 169)—“In form the prohibition on the export of gold and silver coin continued to 1816. People were allowed to export gold in bars, foreign coin, and bullion the produce of foreign coin; and an oath had to be taken that exported bars were of this character. People were hired to swear that they were so, and sworn-off gold, as it was called, was worth 1⁠½d. an ounce more than other gold was. Three-halfpence an ounce was the bullion-dealer’s payment for perjury” (Rogers’ Economic Interpretation of History, p. 187).

Потребности их восточной торговли вынудили Ост-Индскую компанию приобретать большие запасы слитков и экспортировать их в Индию, несмотря на любые запреты об обратном; и их торговля с ее огромными прибылями была, таким образом, очень ясным примером ошибочного характера теории, которая учила, что золото и серебро нельзя экспортировать из страха обеднения страны. Этот факт в случае с торговлей с Ост-Индией был замечен некоторыми экономистами в начале восемнадцатого века и был тогда ясно изложен автором в газете под названием «Британский купец» (i. 26), который оценил экспорт слитков в Индию и Китай в 400 000 или 500 000 фунтов стерлингов в год (в 1764 году он составлял 369 831 фунт стерлингов, а в 1790 году — 532 705 фунтов стерлингов). «Британский купец» был впервые опубликован в 1713 году.

16. Важные коммерческие события (p. 125)—Among the important commercial events of this period one ought certainly to include the Darien Scheme and the Union of England and Scotland, although these belong more fitly to a History of Commerce than of Industry. The Darien scheme was a project originated by William Paterson, the founder of the Bank of England, who proposed to colonize the Isthmus of Darien and use it as “the key of the Indies and door of the world” for commerce. English capitalists, however, would not support his scheme and it was denounced by the English Parliament. Nevertheless a company was formed in Scotland, called “The Scottish African and Indian Company,” a charter was given it by the Scotch Parliament in 1695, and a capital of £900,000 was ultimately raised, £400,000 coming from Scotland, then a very poor country, and the rest from English and Dutch merchants. The hostility of the East India Company, the Levant Company, and of the Dutch in {250} general, however, never ceased, and it was owing to their influence that, when the ill-fated colony at last set out for Darien in July 1698, the settlers were left quite unaided against the attacks of the Spaniards, who claimed the monopoly of South American trade. In fact, Spanish attacks and the climate, so utterly unsuited for European colonists, sealed the fate of the expedition, and few who went out ever returned. This failure had the most serious effect in impoverishing the Scotch, who could then ill afford the loss, but there is little doubt that it greatly helped to bring about the subsequent Act of Union between England and Scotland, in which William Paterson was largely concerned (1707). The Union proved of considerable benefit to Scotland, as, by it, trade between the two countries became free, English ports and colonies were thrown open to the Scotch, and Scotland found a large market for woollen and linen goods and cattle in England.

Дата Метуэнского договора — 1703 год, и он был организован Джоном Метуэном между Англией и Португалией. Было решено, что британские шерстяные товары будут допускаться в Португалию и ее колонии при условии, что португальские вина всегда будут допускаться в Англию при двух третях пошлины (какой бы она ни была), взимаемой с французских вин. Результатом стало значительное увеличение торговли с Португалией, но еще большее сокращение торговли с Францией, в то время как пристрастие к вину наших высших классов приняло совсем другое направление, ибо портвейн, который до тех пор был почти неизвестен в Англии, стал типичным напитком английского джентльмена, и в Соединенное Королевство отправлялось больше портвейна, чем во всю остальную Европу вместе взятую. Только ко времени торгового договора 1860 года с Францией высокие пошлины на легкие французские вина были снижены, а вместе с ними и пошлины на французские промышленные товары. До тех пор, как сказал Гладстон в своей речи по этому поводу в 1862 году, «почти считалось делом долга рассматривать французов как традиционных врагов», не только в политике, но и в торговле. Этот договор был лишь одной из многих великих заслуг Кобдена перед торговлей своей страны.

17. Упразднение Ост-Индской компании (p. 217)—In June, 1858, the East India Company ceased to exist, the territories of India were transferred to the Crown of England, and the Queen was proclaimed sovereign of India on November 1st, 1858. The Company’s army became part of the Queen’s army, and Lord Canning, who had been Governor-General, became the first Viceroy. All the powers hitherto exercised by the East India {251} Company, or by the Board of Control, were vested in the Secretary of State for India, assisted by a Council of fifteen members appointed by the Crown.

18. Реформы Хаскиссона (p. 213)—It was Huskisson who in 1823 passed a “Reciprocity of Duties Bill,” by which English and foreign ships had equal advantages in England whenever foreign nations allowed the same to English vessels in their ports. He threw open the commerce of our colonies, under certain restrictions, to other nations. He reduced the duties on silk and wool in 1824, and in the same year the Acts fixing wages (cf. p. 107), and limiting the free travelling about of workmen (p. 189) were repealed. So also were all laws controlling combinations of either masters or workmen; though combinations of workmen to intimidate employers were made illegal in 1825.
