THE SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

From the Globe Democrat.
There can not be any doubt about
the value of the South Americ an
trade. The statistics are familiar,
and every intelligent reader under
stands that where we should he
resping q rich harvest we are really
getting only the gleanings. There
are 40,OO0, 900 consumers on that con-
tlnent, and they buy from other
countries ut the rate Of 500, 0O0, 90 a
year, Of which the United States
secures only about CSC, 600 600, or less
than one-slxth part. The bulk Of
their purchases are made In Europe,
notwithstanding the manifest adj
vantages we possess, IL we would
only utilize them with proper sner-
gy and sagacity. IL IL . reproach to
our boasted enterprise that we per-
init England, Germany aud France
each to beat US In = field which IL
geographically our own, and which
we could readily win from them by
Initiating their methods. The South
Americans need most the things we
produce and OF the best quality; and
we have only ourselves to blame
that they 20 across the Atlantic for
scch goods instead OF coming TO us
for them. They would prefer to trade
with us, all conditions being equal.
It II not because of any special
liking for other countries that they
are 30 slow TO give US their custom,
but because we do not offer the
same inducements and provide the
same oonyeniences.
It 10 idle to say that the policy Of
protection places us at \ disaIivan-
tage In the matter. The truth II,
rather, that we have not protection
enough, In the sense Of stimulating
the shipping Interest, which II the
main factor In the problem OF con-
trolling the South American trade.
We can do nothing without sde-
quste means Of transportation. The
secret Of European success In that
quarter 10 simply the fact that ships
are provided TO do tile business at
fair rates and with reasonable safety
and dispatch. These lines Of COM
municaiion are expensive, aud can
not be maintained without assist
suee. England, Germany aud
France all furnish such assistance
In q sufficient degree. They are not
frightened by the words "oounty"
and "subsidy." IL matters not to
them that they may be accused Of
showing favor to q particular inter-
est, when they can see that general
advantage II 20 be derived from the
proceeding. The steamship arrivals |
1t Buenos Ayres the commercial
metropolis Of South America, aver
age ak per day and our Gag 10 never
seen on one Of them. We can not
expect to have any considerable |
trade where other nations thus sur
pass rs in the essential point Of |
transaction facilities. The wonder |
Is that We have Q single customer
when We are % Indifferent and 90 far |
behind our compositions. We can
not increase eur traffic with tbose
people except by establishing direct |
steamship lines between our ports |
aud theirs. This u Indispensable, |

can obtain Q large share of it>-the /

TOPEKA, Aug. Il, 1889.
A discovery has been made In this
city which has sent . cold chill
down the spinal column Of supersti.
tiOus people. The discoverer, A. q.
Stacey, correspondent Of the Kansas
City Journal unearthed q dozen
relics In q prominent undertaker's
establishment on Kansas avenue,
which has set capital city people TO
talking. II seems that there are
shout = dozen bodies embalmed and
In q perfect state OF preservation,
snugly encased In closets In an un-
dertakeF's establishments on the vest
side Of Kansas avenue, where friends
frequent and pass q half hour In the
company Of the dead. There on
shelves, enclosed In neat caskets,
presenting none of the repulsive
appearances Of coffins, ere the life
like remains Of six men, four women
and two children, often visited by
those who placed them there. As
men engaged In business, women
out on shopping expeditions,
children aud sight seeing strangers
viewing the city, pass this establish

stop to gaze at the beautiful decora-
tons on the windows or 20 into the
adjoining stores, but they never
dream that they are within q few
feet Of bodies that passed from life
more than q year ago, some Of them.
Surging on, the crowd never comes
in direct contact with the dead. The
women and children would cross
the street at night for fear Of seeing
some ghOstly visitsnt, while In the
Pickering gas-liRht on dark nights
would be imagined the materiaIized
spirits Of those whose bodies are
kept here securely shelyed rs though
they were In the great underground
chambers OF another world. The
discovery has also been made that
portions Of the skin from the
murderer OliphaDt who was lynched
on q public street In this city
recently, are carried about by certain
persons ~ pocket pieces" These
pieces OF skin have beeu tanned.
One piece examined came from the

A MIST Peculiar Death.

Milliard Flint, young man aged
about twenty-five years met with a
very untimely death near Irving,
says the Eugene Register. In
company with several others he
was engaged in road work and was
ha uling gravel out ofa field. After
digging down for some distance
they struck a spring of water at the
foot of the bank, which was about
five feet high. Flint laid down ana
took a drink and then rolled over
and jokingly remarked that it was
a pretty cool place and he guessed
he would stay there. The words
were scarcely out OF his mouth when
the bank caved in on him, covering
all but his feet. His companions
dug him out as quickly as possible,
but only to find that he was dead.

Bells in History.

Bells have large place in his
tory-almost larger than any other
object that could he mentioned, un-
less we accept some of the imple-
ments of destruction. Their great
antiquity, says Lock and Bell, is
beyond question. An explorer
among the ruins of Ninevah, or
some other of those vanished Orien-
tal cities, claims the discovery of a
bronze bell, and the citizens of
Rome came together ia their public
places at the signal of bells. But
the Roman bells were elongated
pieces of forging about as musical,
it is presumed, as modern cow
hell. II was not until medieval
and modern times that the bell ring
er became a man of v,ry distin.
prished duties. Who has not heard
of the Sicilian vesper bells, rung in
the year 1882 as signal for the
death of 5000 Frenchmen, slaugh-
t red 50 that Sicily might be free?
Who has not heard again, and shud-
dered as he listened, of the bells OF
st. Bartholomew, the signal, it is
said, for the death of l00,0 900 persons?
And the 8 o'clock curfew bell that
rang through all England at the
bidding of William the Conquerer,
as a warning to his newly made
slaves to "douse the glim;' has it
not echoed in faint and still fainter
tones through all pa ges of English
history down to date? But it has
not been the fate of all bells to be
made to give the signal for slaugh-
ter or oppression. The Philadelphia
ans have their fondly cherished
Liberty bell. 1t is held in such es-
TEEN that it was borne half over the
continent few years ago under the
escort of guard Of honor to prorect
it from all injury. 1t proclaimed
once from it's brazen lips the birth
of a new nation, and hence it it be
not made to endure as long as the
nation itself, it will be because met
al is more perishable than the work
of the Revolutionary architects.

A PUBLIC BENEFACroA

"Who is H. H. Warner, Of Roches
Ter, N. Y, whose Safe Remedies, 90
pecially Warmers Safe Cure, have al
tanned such success and celebrity at
home and abroad ?"
The question is inspired as much by
affection as curiosity, since through
his instrumentality hundreds OF thou
sands, in both hemispheres, have
been restored to health and happi-
ness.
Hon. H. H. Warner, then, is .
leading and honored resident oi
Rochester, not only, but prominent
and influential citizen of the United
States. On several occasions chosen
by his party as National delegate to
nominate President of the Republic,
he has been a member of the Repub-
can State Committee and OF its Exc
cutive Committee. He is member
of the American Institution for the
Advancement OF Science; President
of the Rochester Chamber OF Com
merce successful and upright busi-
ness man. He has given away for
tunes in charities. The celebrated
and costly Warner Observatory OF
Rochester was conceived, endowed,
and is maintained by him. His
munificent prizes for the discovery OF
comets has been at once the wonder
and delight of the scientific world.
The yellow fever scourage in the
South, the Ohio floods, the fire dis
asters of Rochester and other cities
awakened his profoundest sympathies
and in each instance his check Tor
from $500 to S. 900 swelled the several
relief funds. Where other wealthy
men give tens and hundreds, he gives
hundreds and thousands.
His charities are as ready and
magnificent as his enterprises and
public spirit are boundless.
The world has need of moro such
men.
An incident led him into the manu-
facture OF medicine. Seized some
twelve years ago with what the ablest
physicians termed fatal kidney dis
ease, he was miraculously restored 10
health by what is now known as
Warmers safe Cure. At once he re-
solved TO make known the merits OF 80
potent a remedy, and the consequence
il that to-day he has immense labora-
tories and warehouses in the United
States, Canada, England, Germany,
Austria, Australia and Burmah. Bales
of his safe Remedies are enormous,
and their power over disease simply
marvellous.
The merit of production is in ex-
act keeping with the character of us
