When Daniel Dod. a Virginia engine builder, came in 1818 to New York then a village of 60.000 peoplc, filled with the idea that | he could build an engine which would drive a vessel across the Atlan- tic and persuaded Francis Fickel to huild the ship for him they Jfointly | laid one section of the foundation for the tremendous growth of world com- merce. The other sections of the foundation upon which words com merce has grown are the railroads { Quigley and an explanation of the ! his hurried exit, as he had to gei the telegraphs. the telephones, and | the financial and banking svstems.’ It was just one hundred vears ago that the little steamer “The Savan- nah.” built in New York for (he trans-Atiantic cxperiment. passed out of New York to Savannah, Ga.. which | port it left a few months later on its | successful venture across the ocean. to which the steamship was up to that time unknown By 1854 world inter- national trade had grown to $4,000, 000,000, by 18900 it was $20.000.000.- 000. by 1913 $40.000,000.000, and in the year just ending aggregated prob- ably $50,000.000,000 when measured in the inflated currency of the present period. Meantime world railways ; had grown to 725.000 miles It is difficult to rcalize, said the speaker, that only one hundred years ago the world had no steamship crossing the | ocean, not a mile of railway or a foot of telegraph or ocean cable while. as for telephones, wireless telegraphy or flving machines they are the product of the present generation. During the century of power trans- portation—1818 to, 1918—the world steamships grew to about 30,000,000 net toms, with a value at the begin- | I ning of the recent war of about $2.000,000.000, =ud the world's rall- roads had grown to 720,000 miles with a value of probably $70.000,000,000 With the rapid increase in gold pro- duction in the last guarter-century, tlie money of the world had grown from $10,000,000.000 in 1896 to about | $15,000.000,000 at the heginning of the opean War. Then, with the neces | sity for ready currency which faced ach of the nations at war, came an enormous inflation. and the world's money (including the “uncovered paper’) is now about $36.000.000,000 "he banking power of the world, which was estimated by accepted au- thorities at less than $2,000.000.000 in 1840, and $15.000,000,000 in 1890, wae probably $65.000,000,000 in 1914, and has, of course. enormously increased during the war period, and banking power is an extremely important fac- tor in world trade and rapidly in- ereasing in importance. The principal cawse of thesc mendous international fxchanges Which have grown with such unexam- pled rapidity within the last centur can be staied in a single and very brief phrase—a division of labor, the assignment (o certain areas and thefr peoples of the production of certain artiele: for interchange in world | | ticipated. he was gassed and was sent | many professional vaudevitle and | { that his eyesight has not been affect- commerce, Tt was found that certain | reas could produce wheat more su cossfully than certain other areas, and 1his was trie also with reference to the ofher great requivements of man corn, meats. sugar, tea, coffee. cotton wonl, silk, iron. copper. tin. lumber indin-rnbber and manufactures-—and that (he respective areas especially sulted to the production of these in- dividual articles could prodnce them much more readily and cheaply than could other countries requiring them, | especially if. by the developi -cut of cheap and plentiful transporiation fa- | ilities. these articles could he readily moved from the place of production to the places where required. Cost of transportation has been so reduced that a British workman could, in 1910 pay with one day's labor the cost of ansporting a year's supply of hread nd meat from the Mississippi Valley ! to his own door; and the application of power to farming had made it pos- sible in 1910 to produce a bushel of wheat with 10 minutes of human la- bor. against three hours of labor re auired to produce a bushel one hun- dred vears earlier.
