country and all the countries OF
Europe to enter into an offensive
and defensive trade alliance
against the United States, being
evidently half overwhelmed at
the power and possibilities of this
country. The figures of the an
nual assets of this country are
rather bewildering. Agriculture.
with a gross annual product of
1000 millions; mineral product
OF 1000 millions, and a manu-
featuring product almost beyond
computing; it is not surprising if
intelligent foreigners have feel
ing of dismay as they contem-
plate the marvellous figures. Then
on their face the trade balances
of the United States. with the
outside world, are protentious.
They have averaged 100000,
600 in our country's favor an
nually, for a dozen years past.
That would indicate that in very
few years this country would
possess about all the money in
the world. Many thousands of
people were comforted by those
figures in our country until on
that September day. 1907. when
they woke up one morning to find
that business was PROSTATE in the
great commercial center of our
country. and frantic appeals were
being made to the old world for
money.
Then men realized that every
year S250,OO0,OOO is being paid
out by this country in fares and
treights. Then Americans who
go abroad pay out in foreign
countries sl0O,000.O00 year.
Then in dividends and interest
$3.50, 100000 is paid out TO Europe
by the corporations of this coun-
try.
So it seems clear that while the
ostensible balance is S400.0o0.000
in favor of this country, the real
balance is about S300.000.000
against it. Then our export trade
to the orient is practically killed.
