British Trade.
From the preceding it will be seen that British trade, as represented
by the first two items in each table (and
indeed, the third might almost be added),
is considerably greater than that of any other foreign country ; the
only item more considerable is the trade with Africa, which, being
chiefly between places in the Sultan’s own domimions, cannot be
regarded as foreign trade.
Take for instance the year 1862-63, and deduct the home or African
trade, and we find the value of British trade at Zanzibar is nearly two-
thirds of the aggregate of that of all other nations. But it is even
more considerable than this would indicate ; nearly every native mer
chant, shopkeeper, and artisan is a British subject or protege. These
supply the European merchants and almost monopolize the Afiican
trade, so that it is no over statement to allege that four-fifths of the
entire commerce of Zanzibar passes through the hands of Biitish
subjects.
