TRADE WITH THE AMERICAS.

The Congress Of the Americas, which has
begun its session so auspciOuSly, has to con-
slider, among other things, trade relations be-
tween American countries and Europe. For
half a century the efforts Of British statesmen
merchants and manufacturers to extend British
trade with these among other countries have
been nremitting, and in lavish expenditure Of
money in aid Of steamship lines and other
ways not less effective, Great Britain has done
what the United States has most conspicuousy
neglected. As there was 10 flendness, but
only keen Selfinterest, prompting Great Britain
to seek this trade so there has been no UNI
lrendlineSS in the neglect of the United States
to take similar measures but only absorption
in the settlement of domestic problems and the
development Of home resources.
II has been the constant claim Of those who
oppose the American policy Of protection that
it opelateS powerfully to suppress trade with
foreign nations, and. particularly, that it shuts
out American products from foreign markets
If this exclusion from Central and South Ameri-
can markets had occurred it might properly
have been attributed TO different cause-to
the remarkable neglect Of the usual measures
TO facilitate trade. The United States has re-
fused to establish steamship lines, and under
the late Administration allowed its foreign
mails TO be absolutely dependent upon the
courtesy OF generosity of foreign Powers. Yet
the fact is that its exports to the countries in
question have largely increased

Statistics the trade Of this country is given

1887. and in 1860 British exports to them were
S6827I,83I. but in 1887 they were in value
sI15.O12.635 an increase of about 60 per
cent. Instead of falling far behind in the
race. because of protective duties this country
has gained in value of exports to Central and
South America nearly as much as Great Brit
ain, notwithstanding the extraordinary efforts
made by British and wholly neglected by
American rulers and business men.
10 the delegates from other countries the
other side of the picture will be more interest
ing. Is il the fact that American protection
has cut off the trade with this country, or seri-
Ously retarded it? Is il true that the British
market is of greater value and more impor-
lance 10 them? The official returns tell the
story. In 1860 the imports of the United
States from all these countries were in value
S73.342,8l7 and the imports of Great Britain
from them all were in value only 1853, O62I 81.
But that was at the close Of the longest period
Of revenue tariff in our history. After twenty
eight years of protection the imports OF the
United States from these countries have in
creased to ~ 8.656,S19, having much more
than doubled. But in 1887 the imports OF
Great Britain from the same countries were In
value only sos ,619,217, having scarcely in
creased at all in twenty-seven years. 10 the
nations south of us the United States market
was always more important than the British.
but under the stimulus Of protection the pros
perity Of this country has so increased that the
market has become worth TO them far more
than twice as much yearly rs that of Great
Britain.
The facts appear to justify two conclusions:
Cd that other American nations can well aft ord
to assimate their policy as far as possible with
that which has brought such prosperity to the
United States and GU that they can far better
afford 10 cultivate closer relations with the
country which buys one hundred and fifty
eight millions yearly from them, against seven
ty-three millions in 1860, than with Great
Britain, which buys only siXty-eight millions
from them, against siXtyeight millions in 1860.

TRICKS NTH HORSEPOWER.

The official report Of the trial Of the Bali-
moe dispelS the illusion that the contractors
had earned a handsome premium by the de-
veopmcnt Of surplus horsepower. The con-
tlact requirement Of 5000 was not complied
with, since by the computations of the en-
gneers the average horse power was 1918.
In justice 10 the Cramps it must be stated that
there is reason to question the accuracy Of this
calculation, owing to an accident 10 the indi-
catOlS during the gun; but il is evident that
the Depart ment cannot be called upon TO pay
premiums on the record of the tlial-trip. Every
possible advantage was offered to the con-
FACTORS by Secretary Whitney III this respect.
since the contract requirement for horsepower
was LII 80 below the limit sci by the designers
of the vessel and the machinery. But even
with this wide gin available for premiums
the horsepower actually developed falls below
the demands OF the contract
1t is All instructive fact that of all the YES
sells contracted for by Secretary Whitney, and
officially tested, only one the Yorktown. has de-
veloped the required horsepower. The Charles
ton instead of 1000 averaged 6,666. The
peuel was far below the contract limits. The
Baltimore, with enormous advantages in her
favor has deficiency of 22.12. The signif-
canoe Of these facts is apparent when it is re-
membered that Secretary Whitney declared
war upon John Roach and drove him into
