There Is an enormous amount OF money
made here in meat and hides. Uruguay is.

The Yankees Are bad Traders.
The Yankees have a national reputation
as trading nation: but this reputation is
confined to their business at home. Inter
nationally they are among the poorest OF
all who compete for sa.es in the highways
OF the world, and their fame Is confined TO
the making of good goods ard then not
knowing how TO sell them. You remember
the wooden nutmeg story. Well, it is not
the Yankees, but the Europeans who are
the wooden nutmeg vendors of today.
The Germans sell the most furniture.
whereas We have the cheapest. best and
most stylish articles Of the kind in the
world. The Uruguayans pay big prices and
want good goods. but in some way or other
the Germans get the business. Even little
Belgium. a country which would not make
a pimple on the face OF the United States,
surpasses us in the competition for the
trade of Uruguay. and 1t sells the very
things which We should be able to make
most cheaply. II has the monopoly in
scythes. iron beams and sporting guns
Our guns are universally conceded the best
and there Is no reason why We should not
furnish the other articles.
American Coal.
