The south American Trade.


United States has increased its trade
with European countries to such all ex.
tent that the balance OF trade is in our
favor, Wa have not been able thu. far
to make much impression upon the
trade of the South American countries
though they liy so much nearer to us
than the countries OF Earop-. Why
this is, is mystery which has not yet
been solved by any of the laws sftrade
that prevail In relation % commercial
exchanges with other cou atries. As a
general thing accoriiu, to commercial
writer's, the superiority Of some articles
OF American manufacture is uuqus,'iop-
able, but as II letting some light in

what the South American states have
to sell in exchange for what W. sell to
them. We can scarcely Ieli-v- that
the fault is in the present tariff or else
how could the United Sta'es have the
balance in her favor with her trade
with England, and YET Eng and trade
to better advantage WI tho South
American States We ratler suspect
that he present tariff, though it might

t.ae cause of the evils complained of.
The want of subsidie to American
steamship lines We rather suspect to
lie more Of cause than auy thing else,
and ills want will always g telt to
greater extent NJ long as England and
Mher European tons subsidizs

purpose to go into general argument
