which. ne believes. would pay we'll and
give great impetus TO trade between
Paraguay and the United States.
Mr. Runn sends 10 the department
communication addressed 20 himself by
a citizen Of Paraguay in which the writer
expresses his surprise that the United
States. Notwithstanding the prodigious
development Of It's industries and its pro-
verbal mercantile activity, does not en-
Joy the supremacy that st should in the
commercial affairs Of South America.
lie believes that this Is due TO the Diff
cultics that exist in transac,ing business
between the South American countries
ana tho United States. First. ne says.
there Is no direct communication with
the river Plata, and. again, there IS not
n single bank in South America owned
by North American capitalists. whereas
there are many banks operated by Euro
pean capitalists.
lie also says that North American
manufactures arc introduced into the
River Plata countries on a large scale
through tho medium Of European mar
kets. and that the banking operations re-
sulting therefrOm are transacted by the
Same means, paying to Europe an enor-
nous tribute that, IL It does not render
impossible tho interchange, at least makes
1t very difficult
lie SAYS. moreover. that a friend of his.
who is largely interested in this COM
merce. has tried TO interchange direct
business with the United States. but had
10 abandon the idea on account OF inc
difficulty OF renting funds.
This is a subject to which The Times
has often referred. for we regard 1t as one
OF the most important commercial ques-
tons of the day. We believe that South
America IS a most inviting field to the
merchants and manufacturers Of this
country. and that If they will only take
the necessary preliminary steps TO intro
duce their goods and have direct trade
relations with the South american re-
publics. they will find an enormous mar
ket for their surplus products.
Talk about the Philippine Islands as an
inviting field. it is nothing as compared
with South America. and il the govern
ment would only let the Philippines alone
and spend the same time and money in
opening up trade relations with South
America. the benefits would be an hun
dred fold greater
Three things are necessary to open up
to us this trade in the South. First. banking
facilities; second. direct lines Of steam
ers. and. third, a conciliatory tariff that
will permit the South Americans TO sell
their products to advantage in this mar
ket.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

The eyes Of the business world are now

was a great South American boom sew
erai years ago but the thing was over
done and Englishmcn lost large sums OF
money by fraudulent companies organ

And 30 South America got a black eve,
as the saying goes. An these failures do
n toalter the fact. however. that South
America is country rich in soil and
resources and capable of maintaining an
immense population Capitalists are look
ing I'm that direction and many new en-
terprises are being started mp IN the South
American republics A tide Of lmmigra-
