SOUTH AMERICAN MARKETS.
United States Manufacturers Make
No Effort for Trnhe

The State Department yesterday gave
out a report from United States Consul
Louis Goldschmidt, at La Guayra regard
ing United States cotton fabrics in South
America,
The consul says that in looking over the
Venezuelan market. he found that very
lew cotton goods came from this country
With the exception of few cheap prints
and heavy unbleached duck goods and sail
cloths no American goods could be found
in the stores of that country.
Consul Goldschmidt inquired into the
reason for this and found that very little
effort was made by American manufac-
turers to introduce their products in
Venezuela. The same condition exists in
the greater part of South America. The
markets there are mainly supplied by Ger
many. England, and France. Consul Gold
schmidt concludes as follows:
Overproduction is the general cry Of the cotton
manufacturers At home, with the attendant shut
ting down Of factories and the reduction OF
wages. Here we have Il continent with over $50
GpOutsj people who, by of the climate are
the natural consumer, OF very large quantities ui
manufactured cottons OF all kinds and these
goods mainly bought from Germany, England
and France.
Here are few articles WHICH in my opinion
can be sold in this market: Prints, Light aud
dark, ordinary widths; prints light and dark
wider: ginghams staple, small checks; ginshams
Larger ohccks; crctoIncs and ciIintZ, lining
lTites aud silesia, bleachcd and unblcached cot
ions. cottonades for sutings, denims and tickings
cotton blankets, white and colored cotton bed
spreads, checked and striped nainsooks. printed
lawns and challirs, cotton towelins by the yard
cotton towels hy the piece, mosquito netting and
many other similar items
Packing is a factor to he considered. as by
the customs laws here, everything pays duty ac-
| cortng to weight; therefore everything in excess
Of what is absolutely necessary. such cardboard
or boards which goods folded rolled
should be omitted. Heavy packing cases pay the
full amount Of the specified duty on the con-
tents. Another thing to be considered is that
packages must only contain merchandise Of one
particular kind, since if there are many kinds
tho whole must pay duty Of the higher class
oi which there may only be = small quantity.

department intends 10 make provision for
12.000 men and also for military school
of instruction for officers and men.
With the probability of a large force of
American troops being kept in a tropical
climate for several years it is seen that
they should be trained in camp life. so as
to lessen the danger to sickness. Such
a camp must be remote from a large city
and in a climate that will prepare the
troops for Manila.
1t is also desired to get the men used to
separation from their own country. so they
may not be attacked with homesickness.
Hawaii has peculiar advantages in all
these points and the tract selected is an
ideal place for a camp and drill ground.

THE COLONIAL POLICY.
People of the Islands TO He Educated
for SeIf-GOyernment.


Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn.
when asked yesterday if it was his unal-
terable policy to appoint none but natives
Of the islands now in possession of the
military forces of the United States in the
customs and other civil offices of the colo
MES, said:
II am glad you have raised the ques-
ton. With the exceptions to be hereafter
named, l do not. This Government is en-
gagged at present in the responsible task OF
preparing a people just out of bondage for
elf-government In no other way can this
important object be speedily and surely at
tanned except by placing in the several
civil positions in the islands such ma
tives as by education and character are
fitted to fill positions of trust.
In order that the lessons in self-gov-
ernment may be well taught and properly
learned, we have selected for the heads of
bureaus from the vast amount of talent
in the army. men fitted TO assume the re-
sponsible task of teachers. We cannot ex-
pect TO educate in a day. nor perhaps in a
few months, a people dOwn-trodden and
oppressed for centuries. as have been the
inhabitants of these islands, up to the
high ideals which we, as a free people.
have prescribed for ourselves. But we can
plant the seed we can give IL proper cul-
ture, we can point the way, and we can
and we shall give them the ungrudgng
moral support which they deserve at the
outset of their career.
This, | take 1t, is our mission among
the people of the islands. The task and
responsibility are great. But it is our
solemn duty to assume it, not with faint
hearts. but fully conscious of our power to
lead these people from darkness into light,
and to solve all problems that relate to
their individual welfare.
Were we to turn over the several civil
positions in the islands to Americans what
a spectacle would this people present to
modern civilization! What defense could
we present for our action? No: selfish
ACKNOWLEDGMENT is not the policy of the
Administration nor the policy of the Sec
retary OF War. What President Mckinley
intends to do and the policy of the War
Department intends to follow it 10 treat
the people of Cuba, Porto Rico. and the
Philippines frankly. fairly. and honestly.
They shall have every chance to prove
themselves capable of fulfilling every high
and noble aspiration of personal liberty
regulated by law.
''In view of the policy herein outlined
employment for Americans in the islands
is obvious. The military authorities
charged with the functions of municipal
government are endeavoring to secure only
the services of natives whose capacity for
the performance of such duties is recog-
nized by their fellow citizens"
