-nalCi, 1o'o.
SIR:-The project Of q company Of
Americans to take commercial interest in
Africa has been mootcd. There are Eany
reasons why Americans should be first: in-
stead Of last, in taking advantage of the
opportunities offered BY such q vast CONT
ncnt. cnbyaciog as it does une-quarter Of
The ha<6ita(olc globe. The disposition Of, the
American rcor!e hus made them renowned
as nayigators ard explores. They are always
rcaoy to seek in distant places for rcsorcts
not found in there own land. Neither
tirsid nor torrid zone has stayed them III
their search for wealth.
The dcve!opedmcnt Of our W country
in times past was only equal by our CON.
merc;al enterprise and foresight abroad.
The incubus OF debt and the lost OF tra4-
Inc ships has thrown this country far behind
in the race for national ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
outside of the United States.
Every enterprise, therefore, which seems
to opcn new fields to any class OF -Anlerl-
ems should be encouraged.
The continent Of Africa is rich IN all the
Productions OF nature necessary for the use
Of nuan !; grains, fruits. and vegetables, an
imals, and materials tor making cloth, the
the prcscious stones, the precious and use
full metals. 1t has water communications
internal and lateral, and it holds a popula-
ton which could be developed to take rank
with the cultured peopic.of any portion OF
tie globe
Other nations have long before this ac-
quircd territories in Africa Of immense
extent, and year by year are extending
their sway further toward the interior
There are already 3,50o.ooo whites IN
South Africa, aud the diamond and gold
fields are attracting crowds Of Immigrants.
Europeans are domesticated on all the
shores Of Africa, aud xplorers crossing even
the equatorial rcgio2s arc opportunity as
