AMERIcAN AND BRITISH SYEEMS

In discussing the comparative
merits of the American and British
commercial systems, it is necessary
to study the respective conditions
out of which they arise. In the first
place, the American people possess a
variety of soils adapted to every
species of agricultural product. They
have also in abundance every de-
scription of raw material required
for their diversified industries. Eng
land, on the other hand, is in want
of everything except labor and
limited supply of minerals. In or
der to feed and clothe her popula-
ton, she calls upon Asia, Africa,
Australia,R ,RAmerica, China, India and
the isles of the sea for enormous
contributions of grain, meal, fish, oil,
cotton and woo!. 1t is naturally her
policy to seek these in exchange for
her manufactures. To facilitate this
she maintains her magnificent mer-
cqant marine.
In England the NIalthusian theory
has become a stern reality. Her
population increases while her food
supply relatively falls behind, and
the gap in the proportion widcns in
an alarming manner. The value of
England's agricultural products
would not serve as units in the count
when compared with the value of the
agricultural output of the United
States. Our present area in cultiva-
tion would afford food for porula-
tion more than twice as large as that
which now occupies this country.
Yet we have less than one-tenth of
our arabic area in cultivation. Our
mining industries not only throw
those of England in the shade, but
they are in excess of those OF CONT
mental Europe, Asia, Africa, South
America, Mexico and the British
colonies combined; and we have
scarcely begun to develop our min
ing resources. While the coal mines
of Great Britain are already SO deep
as to greatly increase the cost of
mining, we have enough coal near
the surface to last us for centuries of
consumption, and our aggregate coal
supply is practically inexhaustible.
In our manufactures we start with
the advantage of having our raw
material ready at hand, while Eng
land must 60 thousands of miles for
every cotton ball she spins. We can
produce all the wool, cotton, woods
and metals required for any and
every variety of manufacture! It
