INTER-AMERICAN TRADE.
MR. BLAINE'S PROPOSALS REGARDING
SUGAR AND WOOL.

SOUTH AMERICAN STATES COMPARED WITH
THAT FROM EUROPEAN COLONIES
QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF
SOUTH AMERICAN WOOL.
Secretary Blaine does not oppose free sugar.
but desires that this country shall obtain in ca.
change free access to the markets Of sugar-pro-
ducing countries of this hemisphere for the prod
ucts of its farms and factories, mines and mills
A removal of duties on sugar from all countries
alike, he urges, would simply throw away an
opportunity to secure great enlargement of our
foreign trade. If countries Of Latin America could
send sugar free TO this, the largest sugar market
in the world, that would give them a great
advantage over Cuba, Porto Rico, and other
European colonies, and for that advantage the
American Powers would be willing to pay.
But the countries OF Latin America produce
not one-sixth of the sugar this country obliged
TO import. The most elaborate trade reports Of
sugar production reckon not more than about
4Oo,oo0,000 pounds for all these countries, whih
the United States has imported nearly 3,O00,-
100000 pounds in a year, and ordinarily $500
100000 pounds or Free sugar from those
countries only would not mean free sugar for the
consumers Of tie United States and probably
would not mean cheaper sugar to any appreciable
extent The benefit would go entirely to the
sugar-producng countries Of Latin America The
proposal Of Mr. Blaine, and the resolution offered
in the Senate in terms confne the offer of reciproo
ty to " nations of the American hemisphere, hut
Cuba Porto Rico is not such nation, being
owned by Spain, nor would the British or French
Danish West Indies he inc70ded nor European
colonies in Guiana or Honduras II is from these
countries that our greatest supplies of sugar
come.
The following table shows the latest estimates
Of the yield and the actual importations into the
United States during the last fiscal year:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1890-06-24

Total Latin America. 1000 OoO 226,6 30S
No estimates of yield are given for the Danish
West Indies, where the production Of late years is
insignificant, and this country already takes nearly
the entire production Of IIayti and San Domingo.
Proposed treaties would, therefore. give the coun-
try access TO a present production of about 49,
10000 pounds in Mexico, Central and
South America. but from those countries il al
ready receives %, ,0OOo0O pounds.
This IS not free sugar, and in a letter TO o
Western miller. Mr. Blaine states that he would
have the same reciprocity offered to Cuba, from
which TIE United States already receives over
,O32, 900, 900 pounds of sugar yearly. But that
wou make the privilege quite vaueless to Bra
zil or other countries Of South Central America,
or 20 MeNlco. For these are unable 10 compete
with The European colonies, and would he 10
better able to compete with them if both sought
admission to the United States for their sugar
free of duty than if both paid the same duty.
If we are to have free sugar by reciprocity at ALL
it must he on such terms as would make the rec
iprocity of no advantage whatever to the coun-
tries Of South America, which cannot now compete
with the less distant and more highly developed
European colonies OF the West Indies and Central
America. II appears 10 he n necessary conclusion
that unless the South American countries are
particularly unwise they will not surrender or
sacrifice in negotiation anything of Importance
in order to obtain remission of duty by the United
states, which, if granted 10 them, would be use
less because granted also on the same terms 10
Spanish and presumably to other colonies in the
West Indies.
Mr. Blane's recommendation that wool from
all countries Of Latin America he admitted free
Of duty, in exchange for free admission Of prod
ucts Of the United States, is based upon one
curious error. He appears TO assume, and, IN
Decd distinctly states in his report, that the woods
of south America which are imported are " the
coarse grades of wool used in the manufacture OF
carpets" But official statements of imports show
that about 40 per cent of the wool even now i'm
ported from South America is fine clothing wool
The following statement from the official report
for the fiscal year 1889 shows all imports of wool
of each class from Mexico, the West Indies and
countries of South America

The officers of the Third Avenue Railroad
have decided to begin preparations for chang
ing their motive power without wasting any
time. This decision will be received by the
patrons of the road and by the public generally
with satisfaction. The cable road is to be
operated in three sections, with varying rates
of speed, for it is obvious that the cars can be
run faster uptown than in the crowded Bowery
and Park Row. The expectation Is that the
new system will be in operation by the coming
winter. Its demonstrated success will in all
likelihood be the signal for the abandoning OF
horses on more than one other surface line, fol
which both horses and passengers will be duly
thankful
