BRYAN A MENACE TO LATIN-AMERICAN
TRADE.-A point made by the United States
Minister to Venezuela, in a recent interview. which
is worthy OF serious consideration BY all interested
in the development Of American foreign commerce
Minister LOOMS said;
There is reason TO think that the election OF NIr
BRYAN would cost the, United States very COnsid-
erahie loss of prestige in the Latin-Amertcan re-
publicS and with the Latin-AEericanS, the loss or
political and moral prestige is almost certain 10 be
followed by material losses. Our neighborS 70 the
south are often swayed by sentiment even IN i'm
portant commercial transactions, and this is
element which must always be taken into account
Cabinet officer in certain South American Gov
ernment made significant remark TO me some
days ago. He said:
I'VE cannot understand why large political
party in the United States should at this OF
the worlds knowledge and development continue
to advocate the free coinage OF silver. nor
in South America understand why IL should ap-
parently be gravely proposed by certain public
in the United States to declare In effect your
cent a failure and propose to turn the Philip
pine Islands to the misrule Of the natives
Most South American republics have suffered heav-
lily from being a silver basis We know Just
what IL means and how terrible the cost is There
fore. we have all been striving to get away from
cheap money, and II the United States should
to go back to il that country would suffer, in
estimation just she viii surely do II the natives
are prematuTely put in possession Of the govern
ment of the Philippines as the party Of Mr. Bryan
proposes in its programme To do this would mean
a century OF riot, revolution and blOOdshed in the
Philippines We know through experience what q
condition OF revolution and bad government means
and If the United States should take these back
ward steps faith in its government ideal
would be shattered. and the cOnss-
quences of this loss OF moral prestige would be
far reaching, and surely your commercial rels-
tiOns with would be harmfully Affected
