They have grand rivers running up through that country. which give them water navigation to the interior. and they are populating it by the million with the people of southern Europe who work at low wages. Italians. Austrians. and Portuguese are emigrating to that country by the million. and their products are already enormous and are increasing yearly. We cau not compete with them unless we get down to the grade of civilization and the grade of wages that they are willing to work for. Africa is being explored and opened. and it is a virgin field for the production of the raw material. as it is called. although I claim that nothing is raw materia] upon which labor has been bestowed. but the materials that are least manufactured. upon which the least labor has been bestowed.
