all we were able to sell TO Brazil
was 81 COZ, 600. Britain. on the
other hand, purehasoa only 81 ,O00, 900
worth from that country and sold 81, :
600. GOO worth. Brazil took from every
country in the world with which it had
dealings, except one, more than II gave
TO them. This solitary exception was
trade against Brazil in its foreign COM
merce in 1888 was very large, bat 1t
would have been immensely greater
had not the United States gone to the
rescue. In the trade with Brazil the
United States has been able TO sell only
about an eight of the amount which il
buys. while Great Britain sells eleven
times as much as it buys.
Here is a record which is as unflat-
tering TO our national pride as it is dis
p8raging to our business sense. This
condition Of things must be changed,
but the remedy can be brought ABOUT
in only one way to be lasting and eff
fective. Our merchants must study
the peculiarities OF the Central and
South American market better than
they nave hitherto done, and accurate
" estimate and promptly andintellige
~ supply the needs Of the people of that
section. This much the merchants
and manufacturers q the country
must do in their private relations. In
their collective and governmental cap
acity the people must supplement
this work by lowering the
the tariff barriers to some extent for
certain products of those countries in
exchange for like concessions from
them to us. and by establishing direct
and regular lines of communication
| between us and them. We have COM
munication with Brazil, it is true, but

rant. From most Of the other coun-
tries of its section. however, we are
practically cut OF except as we reach
them through the ports of some of the
great commercial nations of Europe.
