Asia the Hope of the American Farmer
James J. Hill argues that expanding Asiatic markets for U S wheat will raise prices and aid farmers. He plans to build large steamers from Seattle to China Japan and other Asian ports to shift supply and spur demand, asserting Russia and Europe cannot fully absorb current output. He warns against reliance on Britain and urges broader exports to the Orient to lift prices and employment at home.
