American Prosperity.

The prosperity of the United States is
the greatest economic fact in the world 8
history. The old and established mar
kets of the world were formerly suffi-
cient for the products of the world, but
the American Republic has added new
market, whose demands have bean so
great that the old system of production
was no longer adequate, and the area
covered by the new market is necessari-
ly forced TO produce for itself, and its
productions having become Of such su-
periOr character the old markets must
I've provided for In measure also. The
United States, with population OF 3d.
600 people, cOnsumee a larger quantity
OF all stable commodities than any no.
OOO,O90 people on earth. But this cOun-
try is not only the greatest consumer.
but also the greatest producer OF what
We consume We are the greatest man
ufac'tring country on the globe, and
even England Cannot compare with the
vastness of our enterprises.
But vast as is the American product of
all commodities our home market con-
snmes almost the whole product. Sta
tisties show that the United States con-
sumes 90 per cent of the coal mined in
our bouEdaries, % of iron aud steel pro-
ducts. over 90 Of the wool product, 80 per
cent If cotton goods manufactured, 50
per cent of leather, more than 80 per
cent OF manufactures of silk and other
products ia like proportion.
These are facts upon which any think
Ing man may base the prosperity of his
country; they are facts which prove that

perity. What would eur position have

frozen to death in New Jersey, almost in
