The Spanish American Trade.

The stock argument of the American
press when treating the subject of the
Spanish trade is that the COM
merce of these countries rightiully belongs
to the United States; that is, that the
other nations of the continent should deal
more with the United States than with
European countries. This is an entirely
gratuitous assumption. An American pa
per remarked the other day that the trade
of the tropical countries of America had
been "too long the commercial prey of
England and Spain" Now, the real rea-
son why the European countries continue
to monopolize the largest share of the
trade of the South American nations is
that the South Americans can buy more
cheaply in Europe and get their goods
more conveniently from across the Atlantic
than from the United States. The COM
mercial policy Of the United States since
the civil war has been suicidal one;
unwise legislation has destroyed its mer-
chant marine and an onerous customs
tariff has so burdened with duties the
raw materials of manufacturing industry
that, to all intents and purposes, the
European manufacturer has been "pro-
tected' by the United States against its
own citizens engaged in trade The geo
graphical position of Mexico and the ia
cilities of transportation afforded by the
new railways make the United States in
evitably the largest supplier of foreign
products to this country, and that the
trade between the two countries will con-
tinue to increase there can be no rational
doubt. The law of trade, that goods are
bought where they are the cheapest, and
at points where the cost of transporta-
ton to the home of the buyer is not too
expensive, will always hold good Mexi-
can Financier.

AN ELEGANT BATu.uOUsE.
A Decided Improvement Upon the
Old style of BathIng RtnLIs.

A wealthy landowner at Atlantic City
few seasons back conceived the idea
that the then prevalent style of bath
house g. G. dressing-houses) was barbar-
ous, and that if something comfortable
and convenient were provided the public
would appreciate and patronize the enter
prise literally. Before the protector fin
ished it, says correspondent of the Bal
timore SIM, he added 50 many improve
mcnts that his investment absorbed
some ten thousand dollars. Finished, it
stood model of beauty, consisting of re-
ception-room, register and safes for valua-
bles of bathcrs, shower baths well-fur-
nished reading-room for ladies, smoking
and card rooms for gentlemen, and spacious
disrobing rooms with Punishment no
ticeably perfect in detail. All - is was
erected right down at the water edge,
where any spring storm might destroy it
in its wild embrace.
The old fogies smiled, shook their heads
like balky horse, and if they didn't say
the investor was crazy, they looked as
though they thought he wasn't right
Prior to this the average bath-house was
about as crude q thing as one could
imagine. Since then the bath-house set
tlement of Atlantic City is thing of
beauty, comfort and convenience. The
noticeable particular, however, is the i'm
mense red umbrella used at this establish
lishment In front of the building bull
wark has been erected TO stay the ravages
of the surf, which at high tide reaches
close to the building. This has been filed
in with fine white beach sand, and here
during all hours of the day (but particu-
larly bathing time) fifty to hundred of
these great red sunshades, held erect by
the long pointed handles being sunk in
the sand, give color to the otherwise mo-
notonous scene.
Accompanying each umbrella is a mat
of carpet and board about eighteen inches
wide, cut to point at one end. This,
pushed into the sand at an angle to suit,
forms n resting place for the back; the
carpet is TO sit on The brilliant color,
the lounging attitudes of the ladies and
children, the swashing of the break ers
against the wharf, throwing the spray hig h
into the air, make it scene that is not
soon forgotten. A small charge is made
for the privilege of the parlors and these
beach accoutrements--one payment secur-
ing the privilege for that entire day.
