a very prosperous country. The
ability of country to import large
number of articles furnishes the best
evidence of its financial prosperity.
If we are to continue to supply Euro
pean countries with large proportions
of all the articles the people eat and
wear, we must allow them to send us
something in return. If they can
raise teaZles, prepare sausage skins
and produce mustard cheaper than
we can, it is probably good policy to
allow them to do 50. Labor is much
cheaper in most foreign countries
than here, and this is especially true
of labor that must be performed by
hand. The cost of ocean Transports
ton is thrilling when compared with
that of transportation by land. Farm
ers in this country devote their at
tentiOn to those crops best adapted to
the soil and climate, that can be pro-
duced with the smallest amount of
manual labor, and which will bring
the highest price in the market. They
may not always make the best selec
ton, but they generally do. The
production of many things now I'm
ported has been undertaken in this
country, and abandoned because other
crops were more profitable. Our
greatest success has been with those
crops that are more productive here
than in other portions of the world.
Generally the most profitable crops
