The great drawback OF Samoa is that
1T is SO far from markets. Its best
products are tropical fruits, which are
hbundantly produced, but distance
from markets prevents expectation.
In 1888 the Ceylon coffee disease
first appeared on the plantations of
Samoa and in q short time put an end
to coffee production in that group. No
attempt has since been made to raise
coffee.
Practically the whole business of
Samoa is based to-day upon the Cocoa
nut, and the export of copra, the dried
meat Of the cocoanut, represents nearly
all the exports of the islands. In
1897 nearly 100000 pounds of
copra, the native product, were ex-
ported in addition to the large quan.
tity raised OF the German plantations.
What with her political troubles and
the causes that have conspired to keep
her commerce small, Samoa has not
