make this more chenpiy than any 9th
cr country. sun, the bulk u 1t comes
from England. Belgium nnd Germany.
Germany furnishes most Of the wire
fencing, and this IL a big item In
stock country like this Uruguay II. you
know. almost altogether given up to
stock raising. II L. putting up more
and more fencing every year. and the
day viii come when every one OF It's
1000 square mixes will be fenced and
sheep win be held In by wif~. The mar.
ket il open and our machines ought to
make that wire.
Another thing IN printing paper. We
make the cheapest and best OF the lund,
but Montevidco buys Its paper OF Ger
many. There orr seventy three news
papers in Uruguay. all printed ON paper
made In Germany. We should be first
In drugs and pcrfumery, especially ia
drugs for, through the electric power
at Niagara and other things we nave
the best facilities. stu the French
stand first. and We come along htht 40
to such articles. our drugs are better
nut up than the French. I found some
American drugs In a little store In the
Interior ~ Paraguay. and wsa told that
they gave better satisfaction than any
others. but that II was too much trouble
to get them.
THE YANKEES ARE BAD TRADERS
Tho Yankees have a national rcputh-
tlon MS a trading nation. but this rcpu-
tatlon Is confined to their business at
home. internationally they are among
the poorest of all who compete Tor
sales In the highways uf the world, ana
their fame In confined 10 the making
OF good goods and the not knowing how
60 sell them. You remember the wood
en- nutmeg story. Well. " IL not the
Yankees but the Europeans. who are
the wooden nutmeg wonders Of today,
The Germans sell the most furniture.
whereas we have the cheapest best aud
most stylish articles 0f the Kind In the
world. The uruguaynna pay biz prices
and want HuDd goods. but In some way
or other the Gcfmnna get the business.
Even little Belgium. a country which
would not make plmplc on the face OF
tho United States. HurpaAHcs US IN the
competition for the trade ~ Uruguay.
and 1t sells the very things which We
should be able 20 make most chcaply'
n has the monopoly In ncythcH. iron
beams ana sporting guns. our guns are
universally conceded the best. and
there IL no reason why We should not
furnish the other articles.
AMERICAN COAL.
am Glad TO iind that American coal
IL at last coming south. The coal trade
of this continent amounts really TO
many millions 90 dollars. but ~ far II
| has been practically monopplikcd by
| England ana Australia. Hcir At Mon
tovldco over $4,000 tons arr sold cvcry
year. aud coal brings all the way fiuin
| ~ 10 81 ton. There ~ practically No
cual Of any value on the cast coast
Of South America. and the coal ~ lower
chltc, which IL not ut the best quality.
~ the only commercial coal No far used
ON the west coast. The most % thc
steamers use cardln coal, nnd THIS ar
| tlclc Ia used AZ fuel by AL mnnufnc-
turcru. The coal business of Uruguay
amounts 10 between ,i.O0o,0o0 and ~.
| Oo0,OOo year. There II a virginia coal
that In largely used by the transatlantic
steamers which Is fully as good ar the
cardin coal. and a depot FOR the sale
/ OF this has been established here. !
have no doubt that II Will do large
business. and ! am told that there u
"a good profit In selling az the present
| prices.
More American cotton should be sold
In Uruguay. just now England and
Germany have the bulk OF this trade,
making their goods from our raw ma-
tcrialA and shipping them down herr
for sale. We have the monopoly IN
kerosene because the good Lord fillcd
the rocks OF Pennsylvania. West Nir-
ginin and Ohio with II, and did not put
] II anywhere else In quantities except IN
PARKWAY Rursln, and We have also Ia
certain extent the monopoly In tim
bcr. pltchforkn. tar ana axes. Tn,
timber and the tar are ON much tn,
same ground aH the kerosene, and W,
have no right TO claim credit for tho
| fact
MC SEY IN HIDES. HORSE HAIR
AND MAKES MEAT.
The chief things we buy In Uruguay
nrc WOOL hides and horse hair We
take mure than n million 81 their cry
OK hides every year ana also "a great
quantity OF wool. There IN an cnor,
nous amount Of money made here IN
meat and hides, Uruguay ". you
know. cattle and sheep country. II
has more cattle 20 Its population than
any other country OF the world. Their,
are ~ many cattle ana sheep that II
they wcrc all IN one great corral and
divided among the people. every man
woman and child Ia Uruguay would
have six cattle and sixteen sheep. and
n they were driven on by families each
family would be driving home thirty
cattle and eighty sheep. The cattle
indeed. ARE NO many that they are often
killed for their hides. II IN tho same
with the horses. Every boy ON an
estancia has one or more horses. Beg
gnra really no about on horseback IN
the country districts of Uruguay and
