 Agricultural laborers at Gweedore, in the county Donegal, Ireland, are in a support them and they are coming into the towns looking for work.
 The fishermen on the southwest coast of Ireland are having rare luck at present. A Skibbereen dispatch says that great catches are being taken daily and that the fisheries this season have been a great success.

TRADE IN THE SOUTH.


 One of the natural outlets for Am erican trade that we do not possess is to the south of us. South and Central America are natural reservoirs for Am erican goods, and yet our export statis- tics show that very few of them find their way there. Speaking of this mat ter in recent issue the Chicago Inter Ocean, after asserting that a larger quan- tity of South American produce comes into our markets than into the markets of any other country in the world. goes on to state that ''we do not get our share of the trade with South and Gen. tral America because, and solely be- cause, we have no ships. English ships are found in the ports and harbors of these countries and United States ships are not. Now, ships create trade just as railways do."
 And yet it is a fact that the people of South and Central America are even more destitute of ships than we are, and the carrying trade between the coun- tries is largely in the hands of the Nor wegians. Why then should the Nor wegians bring us the products of South and Central America in their ships and refuse to carry American goods there in return ? If our goods could be sold there is it reasonable to suppose that the Norwegians would refuse to carry them there They are in this business for the money that there Is in it, and if Ameri- can goods could be marketed there every vessel would go out laden with our pro- ducts. But the high prices of Ameri- can goods, enhanced by an excessive tariff prevent us from being compe- titor with others in these southern mar kets. If we were willing, or if we could sell wooden goods, iron ware, boots and shoes or other commodities at as low price as the English and Germans are prepared to sell them, it is perfectly evident that we could build up a trade with South and Central America, ships of our own or no ships. Buyers will pur- chase where they can buy the cheapest, and this trait of human nature is no less prominent in the countries to the south of us than elsewhere. If we cannot sell as low in those markets as other foreign CTS not all the subsidized ships that could float the American flag would enable us to sell in competition with them.
 Subsidies have always found advo- cates and friends in tue republican party, and when General Harrison last Septem Der advocated subsidized shipping as the means of building up trade with the countries on the southern portion of the continent, and incidentally of squander- ing the tariff, he was simply acting in harmony with the accepted prin- ciples and policies of his party. There is little reason to hope that a party which favors a policy of tariff for sur plus squandering will let go one of the : fattest spigots for leaking out this sur plus. If the republican party would in
