There had been a book written on that theme an attempt to put pacificism on a material basis. Nothing more solid in the way of argument could have been advanced on this trading and manufacturing globe. War was "bad business!" This was final. But, truth to say, on this July day I reflected but little on the condition of the civilised world.
At the same time the governor was empowered to grant twenty-five trading licences in each year, the period to be limited to one year. The splendid services of Du Lhut, covering a period of thirty years, are the best vindication of Frontenac's policy towards him and his associates.
The revenue he derived was a very large one, for the island contained hundreds of thousands of coco-nut trees, and all day long, from morn till night, his subjects were employed in turning the nuts into oil or copra, which he sold to trading vessels.
Such a course would be repellent to his trading instincts. She knew in her heart that the hour was not far off when he would claim his own, and that unless some accident occurred to prevent it, it was practically certain that she would be called upon to fulfil her pledge, and whilst loving another man to become the wife of Edward Cossey.
With, malice aforethought the promoter of Donnaville was trading on the credulity of the very people he planned to benefit!

Lawrence from Montreal to the Quebec district, the fur-trade of the forests that stretched away beyond the Laurentides, was not only a source of gain to the trading companies and merchants of Acadia and Canada, but was the sole occupation of many adventurers whose lives were full of elements which assume a picturesque aspect at this distance of time.
She made a sudden reach for it, there was a ripping, tearing sound, and Alice was gazing ruefully at a rent in the sleeve of her dress. "Oh, for the love of trading stamps!" she ejaculated. "Alice!" gasped Ruth. "Well, I don't care! I had to say something. Look at that rip! And I wanted to wear this dress to-day. Oh " "That's just it, Alice," interrupted Ruth, in a gentle, chiding voice.
Although the period of its power and prosperity was respectable by most world empire standards, it was short-lived compared to the history of the previous empire of Ghana.
