Temporary recessions have frequent- ly marked the course of American commerce, but the tendency, according to historical tables published In the "Statistical Abstract." Is ever higher. !». 11 years, from 1890 to 1901, our foreign trade grew from 1ft billion to 2«4 billion dollars, an increase of SO per cent, while in the 11 years from 1902' to 1913 It increased from 2% to 4ft billions, a gain of 90 per cent.

Thus the present export trade of the United States (2ft billion dollars) rep- resents about $25 per capita.
