New England is sand-bagging and hold

doing it with the currency laws and pro-

A HINT 10 RICHMOND.

In June next a large delegation OF bus
mess men from South America VIII
visit the United States with a view 10
establishing trade relations with our mer-
chants and manufacturers. They VIII
study the manufacturing interests Of the
United States. and at the same time in
form themselves as to what cities offer
the cheapest prices.
Baltimore is getting ready TO entertain
the delegation and the first steps were
taken at recent meeting of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association.
The American in commenting on the ac-
ton Of the meeting says:
Hon. Luther +. McKinny, United
States minister to the Republic OF Colon
bia. who was present asserted that 1t
would be no easy matter TO take the South
American trade away from Europe, ana
in this statement he is undoubtedly right.
At the same time we feel confident that
II the manufacturers Of this country are
brought 10 a proper realization Of the
value and importance Of this market,
and sieze every opportunity that offers for
coming into closer trade relations with
these people, Il will be very short time
before they secure a foothold there. When
this IS done. and the people Of these South
Americau states find that they can secure
betteh phices from the manufacturers OF
this country than from any others IN the
world it viii be no hard task TO increase
the traffic ana eventually to secure the
bulk of IL.
'Tiiere is 10 reason why these South
American states should not come TO the
markets OF this country for the goods
they need. Their relations with the United
SAFES are friendly IN every way, and the
new administration is certain TO deal with
them in that spirit Of reciprocity which
Mr.. Blaine. when Secretary Of State. so
wisely advocated"
Spoken Ike an innocent child. and the
American IS numbered with the protec-
tionists 1t assures the South Americans
dhat they can secure better prices from
American manufacturers than from any
in the world No dout OF Il. II has been
demonstrated beyond d, rbt that Amer
ican manufacturers can compete with the
world. and. therefore We would know Of
the American why IL and other protcc-
tionists plead so plaintlvely for a tariff
10 protect home manufacturers from for
eign competition. Is it 10 force North
Americans TO pay more than South Amer
teams for goods made in the United
Statosg
But. changing the subject a Bit lie
seems to us that Richmond should imi-
tate Baltimore and entertain the Sourn
American visitors in this city. Richmond
manufacturers can interest them.

THB TREATMENT OF MIR. BAILEY.

1t was most ungracious act in Mr.
Terry, Of Arkansas. to refuse consent TO
Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas. closing the debate
on the tariff bill for the Democrats.
When. in the regular course of proce-
dure., the time arrived for Mr.. Bailey TO
speak he was suffering so much from a
cold and hOarseness that he was unable.
physically to deliver an address. and, by
common consent T. was understood thai
he and Mr. Dingley for the bill should
have an hour each TO discuss it just be-
fore the vote was taken. When a mo-
ton was made. Just before the vote that
unanimous consent be given for these
TWO gentlemen to speak. Mr. Terry, OF
Arkansas, objected and could not be IN
duced to withdraw his objection so that
Mr.. Bailey was cut out of an opportunity
to make what might have been a most
honorable and striking display before the
whole country.
Mr.. Terry was a warm partisan OF Mr.
Mcmillan for the position OF Democratic
leader of the House and his opposition to
Mr.. Bailey being accorded this honor will
inevitably be put down to resentfulness
for Mr.. Bailey beating his man for this
place.
That is not creditabe to Mr.. Terry. M
one has ever complained that Mr. Bailey
secured the honor that came to him by
improper methods Of any sort. 1t was
secured in an open and friendly rivalry
and he has acted most generously to-
wards his opponents since the choice
was made in giving them always the
post OF honor.
Mr. Bailey will lose nothing by this
treatment. lie would no doubt have
made an able speech that would have
done him great credit but unfair treat
men Of this sort will secure him more
friends than the ablest discussion OF the
tariff could have done.
