It also questions Spain's sovereignty over the Philippines and critiques a proposed twenty million dollar price and war tied to the sale.

When a trust is formed it turns out of employment an army of expert traveling salesmen, and enables one agency in each of the great commercial cities to do the work formerly performed by a dozen or more such agencies.
