OUR VAST BUSINESS GROWTH.
What We Have Accomplished in
Twenty-Five Years.


a comparison of the growth of the
export trade OF the United States with
that of other countries gives us reason
not only for pride in our own country
but confidence in the future of its COM
merce and of its power to invade the
markets of the world. The three great
nations which we may consider as friend
~ rivals in the struggle for the markets
of the world are the United Kingdom.
Germany and France. Our exports of
domestic merchandise grew from $685.
100000 in 1879 to 81 ,435, 100000 in 1904.
an increase in % years of S736. OOO. 900.
or 100 per cent. In the same period the
domestic exports of the United Kingdom
have grown from 1922, 100000 to ST.
464.OOO,00O, an increase of $532, 100000.
or 81 per cent. From Germany the do
nestle exports have grown in like time
from $660,O00.000 to S1.231, 600, 900, an
increase of $571 100000, or S61h per
cent. From France the exports during
this period rose from $623.000.00O to
$500, 100000 an increase of $40. 900. 900.
or SO per cent.
Our manufacturing development shows
up even more encouragingly. Our pro-
duction of pig iron has grown from less
than 100000 tons in 1880 to more than
100000 in 1908; of steel, from 1885,
600 tons in 1880 to 14,5O0000 in 1908 of
petroleum, little over 1,OOO,O 100000 gal
Ions in 1880 to over 1000. 100000 in 1908;
of coal, from less than 64,OO0,OO0 tons in
1880 to 319,000O00 in 1903.
There is another measure of our as
tonishing growth and prosperity. The
e A.
United States in 1880 was about SS,OO0.-
100000; in 1900, $4,000 100000; in 1904
So, 00O,00O,O00. This stupendous sum of
So, O00,O0O,OO0 is twice as great as the
value of the merchandise entering into
the international trade of the entire
world in the same year, 1904. The won
derful fact that the domestic commerce
of the United States is twice as great as
the imports of all the nations of the
world, suggests the wonderful impor-
lance of our home market and the en-
enlargement which should be offered for
a free interchange among our people for
the varied products of our great country
The banks of our country are also re-
markable in the growth of business The
deposits in savings banks alone in 1880
were $S,119, 100000; in 1904 this had
gone to $21, 91S, 100000. The result of
this enormous business activity has been
that the wealth of the country has grown
from $40. SOC. 100000 in 1880 to S65, OOO,-
100000 in 1900, and is now more than
500 GOO, 100000. This wealth when
matched with population gives us 81 30
per person to that of $SoU in 1880, or
over so per cent increase.
Meanwhile the country's finances keep
pace with corporate, firm and individual
prosperity. The public debt has been
reduced from little less than $780,
O0O. 900 in 1890 to considerably less than
81 600. 600, 900 to-day. At the same time
the money in circulation has increased
from 1913, 100000 in 1880 70 S2.519.-
OOO, 900 at the present time, giving us
larger sum of money in circulation than
that of any other country in the world

Geography as It is Taught.
From Success Magazine.


Little Rob was the prize geographer OF
his class: that is. he could locate cities and
bound countries with great glibness. He
could draw the most realistic maps, print
ing In the rivers, mountain ranges and cit
les from memory. Rob considered geog-
raphy purely in the light of a game. in
which he always beat, but he never ASSOC
ciated 1t with the great world about him.
Rivers to him were no more than black,
wiggly lines; cities We're dots, and states
We're blots. New York was green, Penn
sylvania was red and California was yell
low. OF course, Rob had never Travelled.
He was born in canon near the country
school he attended. One day the teacher
made the discovery of Rob's Idea of geog-
raphy through the following incident: After
vainly inquiring of several OF the children
where British Columbia is located, she
called on Rob. who, as usual, was waving
his hand exc.tedy. wild with the enthu-
siasm of pent-up knowledge.
1T Is on page 6S," he declared.
After the rear had subsidized the teacher
explained that that was only picture OF
British Columbia. Then she asked Rob to
bound British Columbia.
