A FOOL^S PARADISE. 



Worshipping the Spirit of the Originator of the Boycott. 



This younj; man was unknown a year ajro. His suicide was intended to embroil America and 

 China. Studen s worship his maiteSt with irirl students near by (a new feature in Chinese lifej 

 abettinj,'. He bids fiir to evolve into a ^od of Patriotism. This illustration and the next are from 

 oartoons published in Chinese papers. 



Under the above title, from 

 the pen of Mr. A. N. Smith, 

 the American Outlook for April 

 publishes some very striking 

 facts regarding America :in(l 

 China. It begins with a de- 

 scription of America's wonder- 

 ful producing capabilities, and 

 her favoured position for trade, 

 and then passes on to the al- 

 most illimitable possibilities of 

 the Orient as a market. The 

 papulation of Asia and Oceania 

 is estimated at eight hundred 

 and fifty mll'ions, as against 

 seven hundred and fifty mil- 

 lions for all the rest of the 

 globe, with a land area of but 

 little more than one-third of 

 the globe (eighteen millior. 

 si|uare miles, against fifty 

 four million square miles for 

 the remainder). On this field 

 .\merica < asts longing eyes. '"As 

 we (Americans) have already 

 reminded ourselves, on the 

 ground of capacity, proximity, 



ought to enter into the new 

 conditions with the greatest ad- 

 vajitages. Since 1898 the bal- 

 ance of trade is in our favour. 

 China has a long list of com- 

 modities- -tea, silk, hemp, jute, 

 <--tc. — ^that we must have. We 

 have cotton goods, lumber, 

 kerosene, flour, etc., which the 

 Chinese have come to like, 

 upon which, however, they are 

 not dependent. We are re- 

 minded by the great and grow- 



iig emigrati'in of some of our 

 best agriculturists to Canada 



hat oar arable land is practi- 

 ■ ally exhausted. Hitherto the 

 world has gone westward, but 

 now the limits have been 

 reached, and we must go tech- 

 nically west to get our goal, 

 which must be the Far East. 

 Mr. Carroll D. Wright has re- 

 peatedly pointed out that our 

 increasing production always 

 tends to become over-produc- 

 tion. We are perpetually snow- 

 ed under by our own pro- 



Boycotting a Shop that sells American Goods. 



American Hour is whiter, cleaner, a* d cheaper than th.it made in South Cliina. Its sale has 

 , . . been enormous. Now the mills in Washintjton aresbuttini; down for lack of a niarket. He who 



energy, we are the people who uses American fiour is unpatriotic, and win be boycotted.
