Peru Has Too Many Wars.

Our commerce with Peru has suffered
by reason of the internal disorders,
caused by her war with Chile. Great
opportunities, however. are believed to
have been overlooked in this direction.
Gold. ii is claimed, is found in every
part of Peru and, Notwithstanding the
fact that the deposits have been worked
for centuries, it is believed to be more
than likely that there are still many
oriferous regions there which could
with modern appliances, be made to
Weld more richly than the Klondike re-
zion, and this, moreover, without risk
and suffering entailed by working In
Arctic climates. At present Great Brit
ain holds from the Peruvian govern
ment many valuable concessions In the
way of railroads and harbor privileges.
Prior TO 1884, Peru took from the
United States large quantities of wheat,
lumber, lard, kerosene, canned goods
trunks, clocks, sewing machines, rail-
way and street car supplies, household
utensils. patent medicines, cordage,
sailcloth, etc, to the value of $2,OOo'
| 900 per annum. During the past year
we have sold them little over half that
amount. By the construction or tne
| canal. Mr.. Smith believes, we could moi
only regain lost ground, but could sue

Washington. Dec. PA matter
interested i'm the general commercial
prosperity OF the United States is the
large falling Oft in our trade with South
America. Both imports and exports
have greatly decrease. Imports fell
from slOS. SIS, ,462 IN 1886 to $lO7 ,SS9,OO9 in
1897. Exports dropped from $S6,291 ,671 to
$93. 7e94 493. Mr.. Smith of the bureau of
American republics is not able to en-
tirely explain the reason for this, but
he finds the prospective remedy in the
shorter and cheaper transportation
which would be furnished 10y the COM
pletion of the Nicaraguan canal.
Great savings i'm distance would be
made from ports on the western coast
-Guayaquil in Ecuador, Callao in Peru,
and Valparaiso in Chile. The distance
that would be saved from New York
to these points by the isthmian canal
compared with the Cape Horn route
would be the following: Guayaquil,
| 1913 miles; Callao. 1886 miles; Valpar-
also, 3,426 miles. These are the dis

With the Nicaraguan canars eastern

States would have an immense advant'
age in competing for the trade OF the
| western part Of South America. The
principal countries on this coast are
Bolivia, Chile. Ecuador and Peru. From
Bolivia we have not received a dollar!

Chile we received last year So, 1872, ,43

1t is apparent that the trade wit
Chile suffered most the decline amount

our commerce with Ecuador is laid di
