My recollection of the figures is that the total trade with China is something like $50.000.000 a year. that is. in exports and Imports. and the total trade between Japan and this country is something like $43.000.000 per year. Now. the trade of our country with the people of South and Central America. according to the figures given in this report. is ten times as great. Furthermore. if gentlemen will investigate the export and import trade with the South and Central American countries and then compare it with the Asiatic countries. they will discover that every peon. every halfclad Indian in South and Central America is worth from four to ten times as much as a consuming unit as are the people of the old civilized countries of China and Japan. Mexico with 15.000.000 people does more business with us than China with her 350.000.000. South and Central America are important to our manufacturers and merchants.

Generalization that every peon and half-clad Indian is worth 4-10 times as much as a consuming unit as people from China and Japan.
