THE COMMERCIAL CONGRESS-.

The International Commercial Congress nj
Philadelphia, which was formally opened yes
terday With a felicltous address by the Prcsl-
dent OF the United States. is not striking
novelty. II possesses no sensational nor spec
tacriar features. It will not mark nm epoch.
nor effect an immediate revolution IN the affairs
Of this or any other nation. 1t will. however,
mark the taking Of another STEP or perhaps the
making OF another march. forward In direction
in which II is most desirable that steady prog
ress should be made That Is, toward closer
commercial relations and more complete mutual
knowledge between the United States and the
other republics in this hemisphere. Such prog
ress Is at once beneficent and may IN TINE
effect an actual industrial and commercial revo
luton.
II might we'll be a cause OF wonder ana re-
proach that the South American States were so
long almost ignored by this country. True they
are peopled chiefly by Latns instead OF by
Anglo-Saxons But this Nation Is entlrel! 100
composite, and contains too large Latin ele
mcnt, to be held aloof from them OH that ground
They are republics. and that fact commends
them to the political and social sympathy OF
the United States. They are producers of things
this country needs and they need things THIS
country produces. and those facts are potent
arguments for intimacy Of trade relations II
Is unnatural that South American States should
buy and sell in European markets rather than In
those Of the United States. 1t is shameful that
the directpst line OF communication between
this country and the republics south OF the
Amazon should he by way OF Europe. so that
some OF the delegates to this very congress had
to cross the Atlantic Ocean twice to get to it, on
the same side Of the ocean as that from which
they started.
When, sixteen years ago. clear-sighted
American statesman undertook to remedy the
neglect Of generations and to effect by CONFER
ences and treaties a closer relationship between
North and South America. he was nssailed with
all manner Of derision and abuse chiefly and
naturally by those who seem to prefer European
ideas and interests to those OF the United states
But the good work survived. The idea Of com
munlty Of interests of all American republics
took root in fertile soil and grew. In the pres
ent gathering In the Quaker metropolis It finds
its latest expansion. 1t Is well that this meet
Ing should be in Philadelphia. as former con-
crosses Of like character have been held IN other
cities The visiting delegates from the South
should become acquainted with ms many centres
Of trade In this country ms possible. and-always
after New-YOrk-there Is no other they could
study and be entertained in to so good advan-
tage as Philadelphia. The occasion yesterday
was well worthy Of the presence OF the Prrsi-
dent and his chief associates in the Federal
Government. The whole congress Is worthy Of
the most earnest and sympathetic regard of tie
entire Nation.
