eS. 1t was as lawyer and politician
that he achieved his first fame. how
ever. He began as politician the
week after graduating from Yale, and
it is only recently that this part Of his
wonderful versatility has been cast in
the shade. He started his political
career at Peekskill. the town of his
birth, when the abolitionist republicans
put him up to make a speech to tell
the Dutch farmers that the abolition
lists had made convert from the dem
ocrats. All of young Chauncey's Dutch
relatives were democrats, and this
breach in the ranks at Peekskill was
regarded by the abolitionists as great
triumph. 1t made Depew. ST., hold

he failed to arrive. Young Depew

In the last four years, according to
Consul Dickey, at Callao, only one car
20 of wheat has been sent from the
United States to Peru. The reason
why he is not able to explain, but says
hat the cargo referred to went from
San Francisco in October last year.
THE total import of Gillian wheat into
Peru during the year 1897 says the
consul's report, amounted to 22,613,-
1913 Kilograms (49,S54,21S pounds).
These figures show that Chilli supplies
the Peruvian markets with wheat and
Hour. But why Chilli and not the Unit
ID States should supply the Peruvian
markets when our products are far su-
nerior to those of Chill | do not know,
unless it is due to the very low freights
charged by sailing vessels carrying
wheat from Chilli, which am told are
,nly soles ($1.69) a ton The con-
sui thinks that the first thing to be
done by the United States to gain the
trade Of Peru and of other countries on
he Pacific coast of South and Central
America is to establish fast line OF
steamers from San Francisco. This,

$1,000, while in 1895 Germany exported
100000 tons, Austria 100000 and
France $4,000 tons The consumption
in France in 1895 amounted to $4,000
tons and in Germany to $4,000 tons.
The total bounty granted in France on
the manufacture of sugar amounted in
1sS4-S5 to G1,O12,O0O and in 1896 to
E2,302,000. The quantity Of sugar
consumed per head of the population in
Germany, France and Austria amount
