...initiative and enterprise exhibited by the firms taking part in the experiment is most encouraging, particularly in the confidence which it shows in European reconstruction.

If the British merchants continue their activity at this rate American manufacturers will not have to be bothered by foreign trade at all, but can remain comfortably behind the bars of protective tariff...

But we have glossed over the marks, a protecting covering has grown over the wounds, so that not all prying eyes about us may see. We guard our sorrows, our losses, for ourselves.
