 AMERICA LEADS THE WORLD. 



It is the writer's intense belief that America is for Americans ; whatever they 

 undertake, they do well ; the ultimate destiny of the United States is so far be- 

 yond the conception #>f the careless thinker, that pleasure has been taken in 

 proving that so far as making the most intricate, the most perfectly adjusted 

 machinery demanded by an industry more exacting than almost any other in the 

 world, we lead rather than follow the bright chemists and mechanical engineers 

 of Europe. 



A visit to any of the German or French made plants in the sugar houses of 

 the United States, and then to the L,ehi -and L/os Alamitos factories will convince 

 any person of business experience that, not only in results, but in arrangement of 

 the various parts of the work, special study has been made with a view to econ- 

 omy of laj^or ; a matter of little importance to European corporations where labor 

 is so poorly paid ; but of great moment to us, where the commonest labor receives 

 $1.75 per 'day. 



In fact, study American machinery as you choose, her vehicles, her mining 

 machines,; her agricultural implements, or her technical works in steel, copper or 

 sugar, and we lead the world.
