are these markets OF the world? To hear these
rhetorfcianS declam, you would imagine the mar
kets OF the world a vast vacuum waiting Till now
for American goods to break through, rush In, and
NIL the yearning void.
Does your mouth water over the prospect? What
market do you give up for all this? Where
is the best market In the world? Where
the people have the most money to spend. Where
have people the most money To spend? Right here
In the United States or America after twenty
seven years OF protectlonist rule. And you
are asked to give up such a market for
Tor the markets Of the world. Why the
history OF such transaction was told twenty
four hundred years ago. 1t is classic. You Will
