NEw-OgLE,Ns. Jan. 9.-The American deputaton
Of merchants and manufacturers which sails today
for Vera Cruz goes ont with far prospects OF
developing the trade Of this country with Mexico.
and of placing it a basis which Will be adyan-
tageous to both nations. These arCouauts are pro-
vided with liberal supply of samples and, while
they are light-hearted and joyous they speak with
pride Of their several calings. and are determined
that American interests snail not suffer at their
hands. They resemble, in modern guIse, those
bands of adventures who founded 80 many
settlements on this continent, and ldla
the foundations Of empire IN British lndia.
From the outset, Mr Zamacona has given
the project the hearuest encouragement
desiring Oh the part of the Mexican Government,
that the American people should, as far as possible
judge for themselves OF the condition Of his couh-
try. and see if 1t possible to destroy. at a
stroke the undercurrent Of dstrust which the mis-
doiugs on the border have occasoned despite the
earnest desire of the Mexican people to cultivate
friendly relations with this nation.
In the hands of Nh Bowen the scheme grew to
its present important proportions A disciple Of
Horace Greeley, he observed with pride the INDUS
trial advancement of the West. but he fonnd from
careful calculation that the supply was greater
than the demand and that unless new fields OF en-
terprise were developed, the manufacturing system
OF the country must become demoal4zed and nome
competition be in time as rulEOu, a. foreign had
been in former wears. Having aided in keeping the
Woollen Manufacturers Association intact and a.
sisted in defeating the Wood Tariff, llr. Bowen was
IN a position 10 speak with confidence manuf!c-
turers Oh the expediency of this enterprise.
The response has been satisfactory. The cotton
manufacturers of Naw-FnClaud. the iron producers
OF Pennsylvania, the papeT-iuakrrs oI tie
Northwest. the capitalists OF ~. Louis and
the eutrrpri,ng traders Of Ncw-lolk have
gwen the project hearty encouragement.
and their example has been followed by the rep
resentatiyes of several small Du. important i'll
dustries. There are firms represented IN the
party which ten years ago would have treated
foreign orders with Indifference, but seized
with the sput of commercial advrntur.
which pervadrs the country, they are drtrr-
mined 20 apply the Monroe Doctrine commercially
as well rs politically 10 this continent.
