TRADE WITH THE TROPICS.

The REPUBLICAN acknowledges the com.
pliment Of quotation by the 7ico Repu6-
lies, and of the able cooperation by that
paper, in the plan Of railroad postal
service to be put on, as proposed by the
REPUBLICAN,, between Vera Cruz and New
| Orleans.
We are especially gratifed at the re.
spouse Of the Mexican paper to the sug-
gestion Of a review Of all existing treaties
between the United States and all foreign
States, and colonies on this continent.
Everything teaches that the United States
must cease to depend on the very un-
| profitable intercourse with Europe. It is
| trade in which five bushels Of Iowa corn
| is paid for in Sheffield pocket-knife, and
three pounds of raw cotton by yard OF
] bleached sheetings. Already is the pro-
duct Of American corn increased by the
immigration Of European consumers,
while the railroad development Of Russia
will exclude the grain Of Dakota and Ne
braska from the comparatively limited
market Of England. In the meantime the
skilled workmen of Belgium, Germany
and England are seeking in the upper
West the home Of the food and raw ma
terial heretofore conveyed to them at such
cost. The removal Of the workman to the
home of these materials is far cheaper
than their perpetual transportation to the
workman. ....
Soon there must be new and adequate
foreign market opened to absorb this
double surplus OF provisions and manu-
featured fabrics of the great American
West. The principle of reciprocity must
be introduced in our commercial relations
with the tropical States, as is proposed
with Canada. 1t may become indeed
proper that the United States should Sc
cure all the advantages of steam inter-
course and consular activity in opening
up the trade with those countries so es-
sential to thei- interests as well as our
own. We are well aware that there is no
discrimination in the tariff of these trop-
ical countries as against the United States.
The language in all our trials, with
them entities our products to admission
into their ports on the same terms with
1.-THE most favored nations" But as the
United States experts contain articles
which no other nation sends abroad to the
same extent, that tariff which is of no i'm
portance to most other nations becomes
prohibitory tax to US We may men
ton the Spanish tariff Of forty cents
bushel on Indian corn, three cents Der |
pound on lard, etc. ....-....-.
Our friends, the Changers of the West, |
have stuck in the mere bark of their real |
troubles. They must pay something for |
and the railroads charge
hem too much. So their grievance is as
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-08-14

I" 'n,S eAoe IS. But suppose these Gran
gems liao market on this continent which
'ney hight reach by way of the Missis-
>" <pi river, is it not plain that instead OF
. having to cross the Atlantic to compete
with the growers Of grain and other pro-
visions in Europe, these competitors would
be compelled to cross the Atlantic to COM
pete with the American producers in the
markets Of the American continent?
The Western Changers should then de-
mand Of our government to put in train
Immediately negotiations for the review Of
all treaties and conventions of a CONNER
cial character, with all the tropical States.
or with the European governments which
control them.
Let the Changers appeal to President
Grant to fill thefrst vacancy which may
| occur in the State department with the
name Of Western Secretary. The last
Western man who filed this station was
Secretary Glass; now some twenty years
| since. In the mean time the West is the
heaviest exporter and consumer OF do
| nestle and foreign commodities, and is
therefore more deeply interested in an
| enlarged foreign market and diminished
| foreign taxes.
New York and Boston have alternately
held control Of our foreign diplomacy,
although their financial and shipping in
| terests are insignificant in comparison
with the commerce of the West and South
with foreign countries.
The appointment OF Western Secre-
tary would be accompanied with the des-
( ignation Of competent Western and
Southern men for the chief continental
missions and for the consular appoint
ments to the same countries. We have
already, in the minister and censuls in
Mexico, specimens Of Western represent
atives deeply conscious of the importance
OF an enlarged comm cree with tropical
countries. We must appeal to the press
of Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis to
cooperate with the New Orleans REPUB-
L1cAN in attracting the attention of the
West and Southwest to this subject, so
vital to Western and Southern CONNER
cial development.
