American Co mpetition Abroad.

The United States Is rapidly becoming
an important factor In European mar
kets Here and there the bars are put
up against some Anne ricau product but
where this country has full entrance it
Ia serious competitor for the beat
traders of the old world. The protec-
tive policy of this country has not only
built up American industries, but has
developed such perfection of production.
that Americans paying higher wages
than any other country, can still com
pete with them in many products, in
their own markets.
This recognition of American compe.
tition Is very noticeable in Germany
The German government has shown It's
displeasnre with the fact, by hampering
the trade relations between the two
countries. There is not the cordially
toward American merchants that once
existed. Consul General Mason writing
to the State department from Mayenee
Germany, calls attention to this fact in a
late report to our government. an extract
from which We copy below Opposition
of the sort mentioned by General Mason
should be regarded rs genuine compli
ment to American enterprise. lie says
There is no apparent probability that
the decree which excludes American
pork products from Germany will be
modified or withdrawn. Whether the
importation of live beef cattle from the
states can be made profitable is as vet
uncertain, The experiment las been
made during the past six months by the
cattle dealers at Mayence and at one or
two points In Northern Germany, but
the re -ults do not appear to have been
satisfactory. The voyage is long, and
the losses from death and exhaustion
during the ordinary crossing vary from
) to 10 per cent of the whole number
of animals shipped. 1t is also
true that something of the cor
diality and good will toward American
merchants and merchandise which was
noticeable here few years ago has died
out and been replaced by a certain jeal
ously and suspicion. The charge OF
having copied American speeialities has
been harped upon in print until many
Germans have grown sensitive about it
But the more important fact is, that oui
great republic, with its unequalled re
sources, and capabilities is the competi
tor whom Germany, like France anc
Great Britain most dread In the futur,
struggle for control of foreign markets
particularly those of Central and South
| America.
