THE SOUTH AMEEICAN TRADI

THE SOUTH AMEEICAN TRADE.
The Informal report Of Mr.. Fralick, who
has just returned from South America,
where he was eight months employed in
the double capacity of agent of syndicate
of Philadelphia manufacturers and as United
States Postal Commissioner, Is both i'm
portant and interesting. He speaks highly
of the civilization and culture of the South
American cities and the people generally.
The trade of the country aggregate quite
81 ,0OO, ,009, 900, the great bulk of which goes
to England and France. Mr.. Fralick says
"If the United States Government will
lend its aid we can control the South
American trade OF the future. Two lines
of steamers Srs necessary-one from the
East and the other from New Orleans. One
of these-Roach's line-is already In exist
ence. It's success depends upon the action
of Congress in relation to the granting of
q subsidy for the conveyance Of the mail.
The Brazilian grant was provisional on the
United States granting similar amount,
and, unless our Government agrees to this
course, the Brazilian subsidy will not be
continued. So far the contract has only
been entered into between the Emperor and
bis Cabinet and the steamship company,
and is yet to be ratified by the Chamber of
Deputies. This they will not do unless the
United states is willing to meet them half
way. 30 far the total receipts OF the steam
ships fall considerably short of the actual
expenditure, and unless some allowance is
made for the conveyance OF the mails the
enterprise will assuredly fail. To success
fully develop this trade our merchants will
also be compelled to make some departure
from the present mode OF transacting bust
ness. South American merchants jnvari-
ably buy on time, paying 80 much in ad-
vance, 90 much on bill of lading and the re-
mainder at three, six and nine monthly
intervals, with moderate rate of interest.
These are the terms on which they do bust
ness with the English and French houses,
and 1t would be difficult to initiate them
into the American system OF cash down,
An American trader need have no fear of
trusting them, as any investigation shows
that the large importing houses are fnan-
cially solid"
It is'to be hoped that whoever may be
elected from our State to Congress may
devote time and attention to the subject.
Few communities are more deeply interested
in the opening of trade with South
America than our citizens. and It would
specially be6t representative of Delaware
to take steps to sustain q line of steamships
to South America.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 81, 1878.
Advices from nearly all quarters are to
the effect that the Democrats will hold their
own in the election of Representatives this
Fall, and In some States will increase their
number. The large campaign fund, drawn
from Office holders under system of civil
service reform which was designed to pre-
vent contributions to such fund, has not
so far, had noticeable effect upon The
prospects of our Republican friends. The
outrage mill in this city no longer produces
it's grist of horrors, to be distributed over
the South and sent north as genuine pro-
duct of Southern soil. There is hopeless
antogonism between the Administrator
and Radical leaders in various States. In
formation received here Is that all of these
things, as well as the state OF affairs in
Louisiana as shown by the Potter Commit
tee to have existed for years past under the
radical rule, are damaging the prospects of

that Congress made great mistake in its

brought about the legislation, will be proper

1t often happens that although the mora

tremely difficuls to prove it by the methods
of evidence. In some measure this is The
case with the conspiracy Of the Wes1
Britishers of the great marts of the East
but, as in legal inquiry, apatient putting
together of seemingly isolated facts, when
intended to effect common purpose, will
prove the existence of class conspiracy
against the farmers and tradesmen of the
country. If attention is paid to the ex-
tracts we make from widely diverg
sources, it will amaze the reader how little
politics has to do with the common crusade

Of Mamon, the oracle of the gold brokers
and bankers of Brooklyn heights. In ser

day was all sufficient for working man."

Seems very large pay"
Said H. W. B. in his sermon one day.
"For dollar you can buy
All TIE bread, wheat, or rye
That you want and the Croton is free, so
they say"
The Democratic masses could we'll afford
to pass over this cruel opinion, considering
il came from a soiled divine like Beecher.
When we 60 in search of his co-conspira-

The BRITISH QUEEN.-Queen Victorias s
occasional exhibitions of herself to her sub!
jects in London, are said to be like the flash
of meteor, so rapidly does she dash through
the streets, and nobody gets satisfactory
look at her. Grace Greenwood, in letter to
the New York Times, remarks: "When it
leaks out that she is to make one of her lit
tie unsatisfactory royal progresses through
the West End, the road all the way from
Paddington Station to Buckingham Palace,
or Marlboro House, is lined with eager spec
tators hours before the time set for her
advent. At last there comes, galloping
and cling.clanging, a detachment of the
Guards, all red and white and shining gold
above, and fiery black below then dash of
outriders, bobbing up and down Of postil-
ions, a rush of bay thorough breds, bright
gleam of pretty Princesses, a dull vision Of
Guelphic majesty, fash of John Brown;
and she is past; futter of veil and the
ribbons of a Glengary cap; more galloping
guards, a little cloud Of dust, and the whole
imperial cortege is out of sight. She charges
on her loving subjects, and scatters them
right and left. Not Boadicea in her war
chariot, bearing down on Caesars legions,
made such time as she in her barouche and
four, making for Paddington, lordly Wind
sor, and dinner" ... .....
