The Newest Magazines
Written especially for THE HERALD.

There is in the July Century, an ar
t!cle entirely without partisan argu-
ment and with no mention made OF
the Philippines, Porto Rico or China,
that is yet as complete and forctb1e
an argument ainst he Little Ameri-
ca idea as could be advanced. The
article is entirely figures and the
figures. 1t is without attempt to
theorize or argue. It Ia entitled, The
Commercial Ascendency of the Unit
ed States, and is written by Carroll D.
Wright, United States labor commits
sioner. 1t shows in very plain figures
that the denial of our world wide COM
mercial supremacy is to deny our in
dustries, markets, fields and labor.
For example Mr.. Wright states that
pers ms in agriculture than are en-
Dyed in any other great country,
except in Austria. And not
only does the United States have this
enormous population engaged In agrt-
culture, but the field hand here raises
as much grain as three hands do In
England, az much as four French hands
can produce or as five German peasants,
because of our improved farm machine
~. The inevitable result is that we
produce $50 bushels per capita in con-
trast to the 119 bushels per capita in
the United Kingdom, Frances SO, Ger
many Is, and so on in an ever dwindl-
Ing ratio. We raise surplus and we
export about $274, 10000 worth of
breadstuffs. Besides we produce an
enormous surplus of agricultural i'm
plements, boots and shoes, drugs,
looks, hinges, machinery, pipes, meat
and dairy products, eaws, rails and so
on. The story is the same in every
line of industry. We are mum bered
also at the head Of the worlds coal and
cotton producers. Our unbounded nat
ural resources combined with our
rapidly increasing population and It's
unfailinR energy and industry, have
placed US In the lead of all countries
as producer. Every year our exports
increase many fold while our imports
