We produce 63 per cent of the worlds mica. and 62 per cent of its lead. and 44 per cent of the worlds zinc. We have 50 per cent of the worlds railroads. 75 per cent of the worlds telephone and telegraph lines. and 90 per cent of the worlds automobiles. This small percentage of the worlds population thus controls the finest area of agricultural lands upon the earth and more than onehalf of the worlds natural resources. and yet we are eternally and forever afraid that some incompetent Asiatic will put us out of business. The labor in the United States is the most efficient and the most productive of all the countries of the world. The average American laborer produces upon the basis of 30 to 1 as against the Asiatic cooley. Even as compared with England. the average production of the American laborer is upon a basis of 30 to 20. This means that the average American workman produces onethird more in his daily employment than the highly trained English laborer himself.
