lamation of an arrangement for recipro-
cal trade between the United States and
Brazil, marks an important step in the
right direction" The possibilities of a
larger development Of trade with
South America are undeniably great,
and have heretofore been but partially
recognized. 'Our manufacturers" re-
marks the Tribune, s'must sharpen their
wits in order to compete successfully in
Brazil with England, Germany and
France; but now for the first time they
are going to have fair chance. Mr.
Blaine has made fine bargain for the
