It is important that attention be paid not only to the foreign markets, 

 but also to the preparation of articles to take the place of foreign prod- 

 ucts in our domestic trade. The list of fishery imports contains a large 

 number of articles for the production of which the United States has 

 abundant resources, and the trade is enjoyed by foreign countries 

 because of greater care or peculiar methods in preparation.
