I0ur Trade With South America.

No one can read the intesesting arti-
cle in the North American Review. by

‘ Theodore C. Search on “Car Trade
with South America” without being

' convinced that the tour of investigation
made by a committee of the National Asg
sociation of Manufacturers has already
borne good fruit. The first requisite
to an extension of trade with any peo-
ple or section is accurate knowledge of
the wants of those with whom it is pro-

posed to trade and of their present

sources of supply. This knowledge the
visitors to Braz1l, Argentina and Uru-
guay gained, and‘the chief features of
this information are furnished by Mr.
Search in his admirably written article.
In round numbers the foreign com-
merce of South America aggregates
clearly $700,000,000 divided in 1894 as

‘ follows: Exports, $430,199,460; imports
$239,754,602. Of this amount the Uni-
ted States imported $100,147,107, and
exported $32,644, 450, or less than one-
third of the amount imported. No other

-_ country imported so many South Ameri-
' canfproducts within$15,000,000,but Eng-
land, France and Germany outstripped

‘ us in exports to South. America. Eng-
land furnishing $97,118,639, France
$49,909,800 and Germany $34,811,308.
It is evident from these figures that we

‘ I ought to sell two or three times as many
f goods in South America as we do now
and thus pay for our coffee, hides and
rubber with goods of our own produc-
tion, instead of paying two dollars in
' cash or in European exchanges for

., every' dollar we pay in goods as at,

‘y: present.

These figures show the value and ex-
tent of the South American trade, our
4" Own insignificant share in it and the
other chief sources of supply. It will
be well for our business interests to
carefully consider the recommendations
of Mr. Search as to methods of increas-
ing this trade. He says first that one
half of our export trade to South-Amer-
ica is in articles which meet little or
no competition from elsewhere, includ-
ing four, hog products, petroleum and
lumber 1n various forms, and that we
should seek to extend our sales of agri‘
cultural implements and machinery,
carriages and carts, cotton cloths, hard-
ware and tools and machinery and
engines, as in these articles we have al-
ready made considerable headway. In
competition with European countries
w1thin these five general classes of
merchandise a much larger trade could
speedily, be established with the adop-
tion of suitable measures.

He sums up the requirments of a
greatly increased export trade with this
section to be close personal contact
with the purchasers, including the

maintenance of resident agencies in the'

several countries with goods on display
all the time, increased carrying facili-
ties, the establishment of banks, an im-
provement in the consular service and
the revival of reciprocity treaties.
sums up these recommendations with
the assertion that the constant display
of our goods in these districts is the
most important agency that can be
employed.

The actual exhibition of a steam en.
gine, a line of shoe samples, an assort-
ment of hardware or a bicycle, he says,
is more effectual in impressing a possi-
ble purchaser than any amount of talk
or-printed matter, particularly if.-.bottl
of these be in a language unfamiliar
either‘to buyer or seller. A sample
warehouse well stocked with salable
American articles and in charge df men
thoroughly familiar ‘with goods and
market, he thinks would give a power-
ful stimulus to the sale of American
wares in any important centre of South
American trade.

Read between the lines this article
indicates that the commission of Amer-
ican manufacturers found 1n their visit
that while they had waited for South
American orders for their wares, Eng-

‘ iish, French, German and other Euro-
.pean manufacturers had carried their

goods to South America. displayed
them and sold them, and that they
must do likewise or not secure the trade.
This is in accord with the general rules
of trade everywhere, for even in the
thinly settled country neighborhoods
of our otvn country, the crossroads
merchant that keeps the best stock on
display sells the most goods. Through
the agency of Mr. Search’s article
the American business worldlearus for
the first time the extent of the South
American trade and the methods to be
employed to secure our proper propor-
tion of it. It now remains to be seen
whether American manufacturers are
capable of hustling for this trade on
the only terms that can possrbly com-
mand success.

Boiled'Chief’s Head.

One of the innumerable little wars
:hat England carries on with savages
has just taken place on the River Ni-
ger in West Africa. It concluded with
the eating of a human head by the na-
tive allies of the British.

A chief named Katshella had built
himself a stronghold on a tributary of
the Niger, from which he made raids
Into the territory of the neighboring
king, who was under British protec-
tion. Katshella was of immense size
and fearful appearance. He lived a
life of utter depravity.

A British expedition of 150 men was
sent after him, and smashed. his
stronghold. Lieutenant- Festing, who
commanded the expedition writes:

“The robber prince, Katshella, an im-
mense man, was killed just outside
the town and then the brutal instinct

of the niggers came out. They cut off 3 ‘

his head and sent it to the king I was
helping. He, if you please, had it
boiled, and his muntshis (low native
followers ate it. The king subsequent:
ly sent the skull back to me and it
was handed to the doctor for disposal.”

of making his first'visit‘ very brief, as
she expected, stayed to luncheon. Af-

to leave. Dinner came; the Japanese

was still a fixture, and the host took- 55"" ‘

Next day he confided to a friend that'

he had never passed through such an 'i

let him go, and finally he had to leave
without permission.
