SEEKING SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

The recent visit of South American rep
ment which may have important results.
The Spanish Club of that city is engaged in
organizing the Mississippi Valley Export
Association. The object of the organization
will be to advance the commercial relations
of the Mississippi valley in the Latin-Amer-
lean republics and apply the money of the
association to advertising the commercial
products of the valley. Warehouses will
be built in each Spanish-American city of
any consequence and stocked with products
manufactured in the Mississippi valley. The
capital stock of the association will prob
ably be placed at $1,00000O, and it will in
clude about one thousand charter members
VINO are engaged in some line of manufac-
turing in the Mississippi valley, the object
being to promote equally the interests of
all. The st. Louis Republic, in outlining
the organization, says:
Those who have looked into the matter
closely say that this is the only method
that promises success. Europe now sup
plies most of the manufactured goods to the
Pan-American trade. Even in Mexico,
where the United States purchase more
than England, France, Germany and Spain
combined, these European countries all find
a larger market for their surplus products
than this country And in the South Amer
lean republics the conditions are still more
unfaVorable to American commerce. THESE
countries present an inviting field for
the Mississippi valley, but trade must be
sought in order to be secured. The peo-
pie in the Latin republics must see what
the Mississippi valley has to sell and fully
understand the advantages it offers before
they will cease patroniZing the European
markets. The idea is to keep samples or all
products on exhibition In every Pan Amer
ican~ city of any Importance and nave a
man in charge of each warehouse who Will
look after sales and explain the advantages
trade with the Mississippi valley.
The merit of this movement is that it pro-
poses to go after South American trade in
stead of waiting for it to come here The
Latin-Americans have peculiar tastes and
commercial habits, and these must be
studied and conformed to before American
manufacturers can hSbe greatly to extend
their trade in that direction. The Republic
says that steamship lines already estab-
nshed from Mobile and New Orleans to
commercial points in Mexico, Central
America and South America have offered
the Spanish Club free transportation for
samples of goods desired to be sold in the
Spanish-American republics, and also to
carry their travelling representatives gratis
Under the plan Of organization each stock
holder will furnish such samples as he de-
sires to sell, and it will be the duty of the
person placed in charge of the exhibit to
explain the merits of each sample, impair
tally and take orders and forward them
to the firm to be filled AS the organization
is intended to embrace the entire Missis-
sippi valley the manufacturers of this city
and State should be represented in it.

Reports from loan agents in South Da-
kota indicate that the farmers of that
State have paid off $50 600 of their in
debtedness during the past four years One
agent reports that his company would like
to invest $4,000 or $4,000 a year in South
Dakota farm mortgages, but he cannot find
takers for more than one-third of the
amount. Out of 1900 farm loans in that
State. the company has not had over fifty
foreclosures in seven years. These reports
are very much at variance with the stories
of the political calamityite.

In two States which will vote this fall
the sound-money or National Democrats
have held conventions, adopted platforms
and nominated tickets. The Iowa conven-
ton was not so large as the Kentucky, but
it was spirited ana its delegates were men
who have always been Democrats but will
not be Bryanites. The Kentucky conven-
ton was not only large and enthusiastic,
but in it was nearly every man who has
achieved national reputation in Ken
lucky. Without accepting the views of the
speakers, it may be safely said that it is
rare in national conventions that two adj
dresses have been made which were, in abil-
ity and power, the equals of those delivered
in Louisville on Wednesday by Messrs. Car
Isle and Watterson. That OF Mr.. Carlisle
is such a speech as he has often delivered.

All stocks of dividend-paying companies
have advanced twelve or fifteen points dur
ing the past two months, yet there are
those who point to the advance of Sugar
Trust shares from 125 to 1877 as if 1t were
ar exception. Neither do those who empha-
size the advance notice the fact that shares
fell to 1S4 on Wednesday. For several years
the Sugar Trust has declared dividends of
II per cent. on it's shares and yet left
surplus. If assured of such dividends there
IS no reason why stock should not advance

The Governor of Florida has issued a call
for a national fishery congress, to be held
in Tampa, "for the purpose of developing
the water farms of the ocean. lakes and
rivers which have heretofore been neglect
ed" and discovering new sources of food
supply and avenues of labor. Invitations to
be represented have been sent to the ma
tional government, the state governments
and all the leading foreign governments.
The fishing interest is very important
one and deserving of every effort to con-
serve and develop it.

Governor Mount has asked two citizens to
investigate the reports of restitution among
the miners If it appears that assistance is
needed an appeal will be made which will
bring the needed aid This is the only policy
to pursue. If the miners are in need they
should have relief. but it should be given
in a manner that will not invite TO the
mining towns a class of people who will
not work for their bread If it can be OBJ
tanned by other means The real miner
would probably not accept assistance unless
needed, nevertheless indiscriminate assist
ance. public or private. is sure to cause
q rapid increase Of pauperism.

The fact that Mr.. Bryan wears silk night
shirts is now, thanks. to the enterprise of
the press known from one end of this great
country to the other. We should not COM
ment upon Mr.. Bryan's taste except for the
fact that it clearly demonstrates that he is
learning that the wearing of luxurious gar
ments by those who can pay for them helps
the toiling masses. A silk night shirt in
wolves in it's manufacture the activity or
many skilled hands at good prices. Last
fall Mr. Bryan did not know this. He is
acquiring knowledge and he has an almost
bOllndless margin for acquisition still.

The official reports which the Bureau of
Statistics is securing from the county clerks
furnish valuable information in regard TO
civil and criminal litigation in the various
counties. The disparity in different coun-
ties of nearly the same population in the
number of days of court shows that some
Judges must be much more expeditions in
the discharge of business than others. In
the matter Of divorces it appears that many
more are granted to wives than to nus
bands. Reports from fourteen counties
show that during the year 1896 there were
granted 2ll divorces to wives and 81 TO hus-
bands. and during 1897 thus for there have

If the report is true that a large number
of prominent Spanish citizens in Havana
have been arrested for selling merchandise
and medicine to the insurgents, they prob
ably took their cue from General Weyler
and his officers, who, from all accounts,
have been levying tribute on all the funds
passing through their hands. The whole
Spanish campaign in Cuba is one of in
competence and corruption.
