skillful labor, and healthy climate. and
enjoys the additional advantage of being
right on the highway of the worlds, com
merce. As to the production Of the raw
material, however, Of that quality which
rapidly increasing consumption demands,
it is very doubtful whether the climate
or soil of Mexico is more favorable than
that of India. ......-....-
