moro thaii one million and seven hun
dred thousand at work on the farms of
the American Republic. And the num
ber thus employed will constantly in
crease with the Bwif tly growing demand
for our food exports in all parts of the
globe.
The export of the manufactured goods
of the United States , especially of imple
ments made of iron and steel , also in
creases each year. It is safe to say that
the number of people now supported in
the United States in agriculture , manu
facture and commerce by foreign mar
kets , aggregates moro than five millions.

for the farmers , factories and transpor

streets of Havana. But the homeless
and foodless in Now York and other
American cities are not fed that way because -
cause it is not permitted by the consti
tution.
