Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Commercial Prize: Addressed to Every American Who Values the Prosperity of His Country Great events are transpiring in the world which have a direct and all-important bearing on the United States. China and Japan have recently been brought in connection with the rest of the world. The five hundred millions of beings in those countries are henceforth to be readied by the hand of civilization. Russia is extending its power, its enterprise, its lines of trade and traffic eastward to the Pacific, to seek in that direction an outlet for her trade, now denied her through the Black Sea. India under British rule is throwing its lines of railway in every direction. Australia is taking the proportion of an empire, yielding a hundred million dollars in gold per annum, with unequalled agricultural recources - with a population already numbering six hundred thousand, who speak the Anglo Saxon tongue, and who are animated with ideas of progress and advancement. The Islands of the Pacific - the half-way houses of trade and travel are feeling the vivifying influence of the time. Chili is building along her vallies and mountain peaks, railroads which shall bring the riches of the Andes to the sea. On our western shores, California, Oregon, Washington and Vancouver are awaiting the hand of industry to yield their riches. Around and in the Pacific Ocean are the "signs of the times."
