A Manufacturing Country

From Leslie's.
 It is better for nation to work up its raw materials into marketable stuff in it's own factories than to transport them to foreign lands to be manufac- tured into competing products. Not only is there thus great saving m transportation costs on bulky shipm onts but also business is created and work furnished for thousands at home. That keeps in the country much money chat otherwise would be circulating abroad. It is gratifying to learn from the ex- perts of the National City Bank of New York that fifty-two per cent of our exports so far this year have been manufactured articles, and in May and June fifty-fiv percent, as against forty three per cent of last year. The total amount of manufactures exported this year will be s4,000 100000, ,om- pared with only s1.000, ,000,000 in 1914.
