OUR BEST CUSTOMER.
If hard times should compel Great Britain to retrench all the world of commerce would suffer, for Great Britain is the best customer that the commercial world has. She sells to all the world, and seeks naturally to make a profit on all that she sells, but she fully and completely recognises the fact that she must buy in order that she may sell. Great Britain is the chief and by far th-3 best customer of the United States, and a panic and cessation of consumption there would be felt from the broad wheat fields of Minnesota and the pine forests of Maine to the cotton fields of Texas and the quartz lodes of Nevada and California. Great Britain, in effect, buys nearly all our surplus crops of every description and pays for them;, when she cannot pay in goods or in American securities, in the hardest kind of hard cash.—American paper.
