The use of tonnage was perforce restricted to the transport of the necessaries of war, and these were narrowly defined as shells, guns and so on, things which do not tend to improve a country economically, but rather the reverse. The imports from Sweden through Finland were no sort of make-weight for the loss of Poland and Germany. The war meant that Russia's ordinary imports practically ceased.
They should also reflect on the invidious fact that they were not included in the original scheme of things, but thrown in as a make-weight afterwards. Let them ponder this a while, and the churches and chapels in which this story is taught would soon be emptied. The majority of those who occupy seats in such places wear bonnets, and most of those who don't, go there for the sake of those who do.
If you had all the wealth and rank of the greatest lord in the land, it would count as nothing in such a scale. If as I have not doubted if in return for my heart you have given me yours, then then then, you have paid me fully. But when gifts such as those are going, nothing else can count even as a make-weight. 'I do not quite understand you, he answered, after a pause.
The make-weight against settlement may be almost summed up in the words transport and markets.
