always consider ourselves too safe when
perhaps we are the nearest to the preci-

mnSt you not coma to the conclusion
that no country possesses greater facili-
tlss to producs ell il consumes. And
still we import annually from foreign
countries for millions upon millions Of
dollars worth of--not articles that we
could not dispense with, but-mostly
suPerauous and worthless aFticlos--aE-

in limited proportions, and which al
most without exception might be mana
faotured within our own limits. In this
respect We are right the reverse Of most
Of the European States, States On the
decline while We are in our youth. We
produce valuable stapls goods, such as
grain, cotton, sugar, ETC., and what be-
comes Of our enormous supplies2 1t
goes 70 Europe in exchange for the above
alluded "misgrahle trash" Is it per-
haps not true that We are a hundred
years in advance Of tines. Although
we are only commencing TO produce, we
already consume with greater passion
and lustfulness than any other country.
Nc owe at this pFsseat tine over forty
millions Of dollars for European laxu-

As soon as one large banking establish
