One is that H America has come to the fore of R all nations in commerce. The m United States is the greatest ex- H porting nation in the world. Dc- B spite the alleged "Chinese Wall" H of protection, which according to B year simon-pure Cohdenile shuts H exports in ns well ni shuts expoits H out, this country is sending more H goods abroad than any other, and B the volume ef its exports is grow- B nig more rapidly than that ol any H other csuntry. A year ago its B average monthly exports were B lo'-s than those of its only serious B lival.fGreat lliitainj byJ$5,ooo,- B ooo. Now they exceed them by B more than $700,000. The next B competitor, Germany, is more B than $26,000,000 behind. This H gain f the United States is partly B due te the decline of commerce of B other nations, butjfpnrlly also to B an increase in the export trade of H this country, the increase in the H year nearly $1,500,000 a month. |
