advantages can not Successfully compete
with them? 1t is not alleged that there
is on the part of Mexico any unfav vorable
discrimination against this country. 1t
would seem at first sight that the United
States ought to monopolize the trade of
Mexico. Were the political relations of
the two countries friendly, as they
ought to be between two contiguous re-
publics, and mutual concessions made,
such would be the result. Unfortun
ately such is not the case, and any in
crease of commercial transactions must
for the present be looked for through the
energy and influence of private associa-
tions and individual enterprise. The
Chicago Inter-O Ocean, which is inclined
to "bile over" at low temperature,
charges Minister Foster with having been
"unwittingly made a tool Of by the
foreign interests in Mexico, the intention
being to discourage and frustrate the
movement in the United States which
looks to an extension of our Mexican
trade" The Intef-Ocean relies more
upon the favorable statements of Senior
Zamacona, Mexican Minister to this
country, than upon Senor Foster, who
may have been bribed or fooled into a
betrayal of his country's interests.

OUR BUSINESS RELATIONS WITH
NEXHiO.

Mr. Foster, the United States Minister
Resident at Mexico, has recently given a
long and detailed opinion as to the prob
abilities of increasing our trade with that
country. This comes in the shape OF
letter to Mr. Mason, the President OF the
Manufacturers Association of the North
west and was called out by the action of
that body while in session at Chicago
some two months since. Mr.. Foster
points out many obstacles and dangers in
the way of any increase of trade with our
neighboring Republic. The Mexican
tariff is practically prohibitory, and will
as it now stands always prove great
drawback to international exchange Of
products. The United States manufac-
turer is met by an import duty which on
many articles is above the cost price and
when this is paid the charges have only
commenced. Each of the separate States
and municipalities have the right to
impose additional duties on all foreign
goods This duty varies in each of the
States, and is under the control of the
local governments. In some it is only
two per cent. of the imported valuation;
in others twelve and one-half, and in
one or two as high as twenty-five
per cent. Besides this the goods are sub
iect to re-examination and handling at
every new place of entry. 1t appears
that there is an express provision in the
Mexican Constitution against this inter-
nal exaction, and that the Supreme
Court has pronounced against it, but the
necessities of the several States are so
great that they have combined to set at
defiance the authority of the General
Government In view of this letter the
Chicago Tribune says: "Minister Foster:
letter, by plain, clear and merciles'
matter-of-fact statement, crushes the
whole scheme of any increase of trade
between the United States and Mexico tt
powder and scattcrs the powder to the
wind" ....... .........
Notwithstanding Minister Fosters dis
couraging statements, there are som'
considerations of a more favorable char
acter that suggest themselves. Germa
ny, France and England carry on larg'
trade with Mexico. They virtually mo
nopolize it. The annual imports int
the latter country, of dutiable and FREE
goods, amount to about $75,000,0 900
OF this the United States supplies les
than five million, or one fifteenth, an'
the query arises at once: If Europeal

can carry on profitable trade, why tn

THE general suspension of colliery
operations in the middle coal fields of
Pennsylvania, throws more than twenty
thousand miners out of employment.
The wages Of these men for many months
have been barely sufficient to provide
their families with food, and the shut

destitution through the coming winter.

STRICT watch is being kept, night and
day, over the grave of L. H. Powers, the
deceased Philadelphia millionaire. This
vigilance is to be continued for two years,
four men being employed for that pur-
pose, If men of wealth could be induced
to provide in their wills for watchers over
their graves it would have several bene-
fetal effects. They would provide en-
ployment for a standing army of grave
yard guards; by protecting their own
graves they would to a great extent pro-
tect those of people too poor to supply
guards themselves, and they would pret-
ty efectually break up the grave rob-
bing business. And thus by furnishing
employment and paying wages for watch
ing his tomb a man might do his fellows a
considerable good even after he died.
