Our Conquest Of ForeIgn Markets.

There is another phase to our CON

its effect upon the other Nations of

done in America, it means a lesser
share will be done elsewhere. The pic
ture which some enthusiastic observers
Of our foreign trade delight to draw,
of time when our exports have so
increased and our imports so dimin-
ished, that we will not only make ev-
erything we want for ourselves, but
a very large part Of what the world
wants besides, is a picture which offers
neither a probable forecast nor "A de.
sirable result Naturally we cannot
