America’s Trade Balance

In the one hundred years from 1797 to 1897 the balance of net trade in favor of the United States was three hundred and eleven million dollars. In the three years 1897-1900 it was one billion four hundred million dollars. That is to say that in these last three years this balance was in round numbers, one billion, one hundred million dollars more than in the whole century preceding.
