Few OF their statesmen can speak Spanish.
but use interpreters. American goods are
as good. and probably better. than those
Germans sell. judging from the cheaper
goods OF German make sold In this coun-
try. German ships go up the rivers farther
than British. and German influence reaches
more people. For these reasons Germans
desire coaling stations for ships engaged
in trade. and for wsrshlps so large and
numerous as TO give the impression that
Germany is the greatest nation In the
world.
Doubtless manufacturers and merchants
in the United States are making an effort
TO secure this South and Central American
trade. The Harrison administrator took
the initiative in this matter by making
reciprocal treaties. by holding the Pan
American Congress, and by encouraging
the carriage of mails in American ships. So
far as legislation could do 1t, the Congress
which came in with Mr.. Cleveland undid
this good beginning. The trade of South
America is naturally ours because the
United States takes the larger part of its
products and sells IL less than Germany or
Great Britain. Taking one year with an
other, we purchase twice as much in value
of South American countries as we sell
them. AT n time when Europe is troubled
with our invasion of it's markets, why is
not more attention given TO the growing
trade Of South America? Instead of a SUBJ
sidy for ships TO carry our goods to Eu-
rope, when there are already enough for
the business, why not encourage lines ex-
clusively for South American ports and
the South American rivers to the interior
of the country? Such lines could be subsi-
died on the ground that they would bring
the people to the south of us into closer
relations. build up a valuable trade. North
Americanize a large population in South
America, and lead these countries TO see
the Importance of the Monroe doctrine to
them. Such an influence in the south,
through commercial relations. would dis
sipate any danger that may arise from the
prominence Of foreign interests and their
desire TO control South American terri
tory. III we can capture European trade,
why not the trade of South America?
