most entirely to agriculture and
small internal trade. The hand loom
and the spinning wheel were in all
most every house and the blacksmith
made the plows and other tools for
cultivating the soil
The foreign commerce I'VE had de-
veloped during the colonial period
had been swept from the seas by the
British Navy during the Revolution,
and what we had succeeded in re-
storing after the Revolution was
again swept from the seas by the
same Power during the war of 1872
l 8. We were practically a closed
country living, within ourselves.
But by the purchase of Louisiana
from France and Florida from Spain
we had given ourselves a sea boun-
dary on the south and were stretch
ing out to the Pacific on the west,
which we reached less than twenty
five years later, giving the United
States thus coast line of navigable
sea far greater than that of any other
nation Of the world.
IMMENSE TRADE GROWTH.
In a word, we have attained the
geographical situation for the chief
maritime state OF the world. and,
without any considerable merchant
marine of our own, our foreign trade
at the beginning Of this world war
amounted TO between four and FIVE
billions OF dollars. Moreover, we
have now a population OF more than
one hundred millions of souls and,
while they or their ancestors have
been gathered from all parts Of the
earth, yet the equality Of rights and
OF opportunities which they here en-
JOY has made OF them the most con-
tented, happy and prosperous people
on the face of the globe
1t is true that there exist many
crudities in our political and eco
nomic systems, but they are more
those Of youth and inexperience than
of anything else, and therefore the
spirit to correct and improve is ever
present and progressively successful.
All in ALL no other one hundred
millions Of people occupying q terri
tory Of three millions OF square miles
have ever organized such a popular
power with such all~pervading en-
lightenment, energy and good will as
the United States Of America.
Now a World Power
We are no longer closed country,
as in tho era OF Washington to Mon
roe but q world power, ready to take
our place in the sun, not more as u
clajmer Of rights than as q dis
charger Of duties. Nay, we arc
CAI4ilID 10 take our place by the
agonizing cries Of q pcIishing world.
And our place is that Of world paci-
iicator, NOT by aiding in war to se-
cure victory, but by calling halt to
war without victory.
The President has said it and the
country supports him. lie has said
it and tho nation supports him in IT,,
