NEW-YORE AND TIE N4TION.

The steady and rapid increase of the foreign
trade of the United States is cause for general
rejoicing. The equally steady If not equally
rapid decrease of New York's proportion thereof
is cause for something more than local concern.
And that there is such decrease is just as GER
tain that there is such increase. few years
ago New-York had considerably more than 90
per cent of the foreign commerce of the United
States. In the fiscal year which ended three
weeks ago il had less than 46 per cent OF IL.
That was the lowest figure its percentage had
reached since before the Civil War. forty years
ago But there is no reason TO suppose the next
years figures will not be lower still. Slowly
but steady under existing conditions, New
York is losing its once unchallenged supremacy
as the chief port of the United States. 1T Is
still greater than any other port but 1t is no
longer greater than all the other ports put
together.
That is not because New-York's commerce is
actually decreasing, for 1T is not, but because
it is not increasing proportionately with the
general increase. Last years percentage was,
as we have said. the lowest in forty years. At
the same time the commerce Of New-York was
in that year greater by nearly 100000 than in
the preceding year in any other year in its
history. Put the increase of commerce for the
whole nation was nearly S66, ,O00000 Had New
York had its proper share of that increase its
own increase would have been more than $50
100000 instead of less than 100000 That
means Enthusiastically that the chief city OF the
nation is net sharing fully the nations com
mercial prosperity and progress. New-fork Is
standing still while the United States Is adj
vanciug That is n state of affairs not crafty
ing to New -York's pride nor conducive 10 It's
welfare
IT would not, however. he ground for serious
concern If il were the result of natural causes
IT, for example the foreign trade of the Pacific
Coast which is doubtless destined 10 attain
vast proportions were so to increase as to re-
duce New-Ycrk's percentage of the whole. there
would be no reason for complaint. Such, how
ever. is not the case. NewYork is losing trade
or is failing TO gain the normal increase of
trade TO which il is entitled because trade Is
being diverted 10 other Atlantic ports. not all
of them in the United States. and is thus being
diverted not from natural but from artificial
causes There is discrimination 10y traDsFortd-
tion lines against NewYork in favor of other
ports and there is failure on the part of New
York TO meet and 10 counerhalance that dis
elimination by such means as are within It's
power. That is the plain tale from the ports.
1t remains for New-YOrk. city and. State, to
determine what TO do about it.. 1t is scarcely
to be conceived that this metropolis will be
content to sit still and let the rest of the coun-
try utstrip it in the field in which hitherto 1t
has been supreme.

No LE4GUE AGAIYsT American TRADE.

In view of the talk in some European circles Of a
possible league between certain Continental nations
to exclude American trade. Sir Charles Dixie was
asked by ''LeslIe's Weekly TO write an article
the subject. In his reply. which win appear In this
weeks issue of the paper he says:
find myself wholly unable TO write such an
article, because have not the least belief In the
possibility of Continental European combination
against the United States. There have been syup-

South America. but those Germans who have sug-

TROLLEY CONDTCTORS.

ORR TREATMENT or SOUTH AMERICA.

Sefor Gransac publicist and man of letters
in Argentina, has beer arguing in THE Balti-
more News" that the Monroe Doctrine has out
lived its usefulness and that South America
has no fear Of Europe and no desire for the
protection of the United States His country,
he says. regards Europe with favor and confl-
dence since 'she exchanges her goods for ours
without trying to shut ont our products. This
last statement is thought by The Sprlngheld
Republican, to contain ''the sting of truth in
asmllch as il covertly contrasts the commercial
treatment received by South America from Eu-
rope with that received from the United States.
Well. let us see about it, Let us see to what
extent Europe exchanges her goods for South
Americas. and to what extent the United States
tries to shut out South American products.
In the latest year reported in The States
mans Year Book" Argentina purchased from
Great Britain goods to the amount of S39.oOo,-
600. and sold to Great Britain goods to the
smount of only $40 100000. Truly, Great Brit
min exchanges her goods for Argentinas, but It
is at n two TO one ratio. SO Brazil purchaser
from Great Britain 30.500,00O worth, and sold
to Great Britain only SOB 0N0,000. SO Venezuela
took from Great Britain goods worth S2300,00o
and sent in return goods worth only S22i 1000.
The same story with variations only of degree.
the South American States sold TO the United
States no less than SSGJ00OGo, and bought
from the United States only S35,@O,0O0. In the
last Ten years this country's imports from Brazil
have amounted 70 $753. .i00Gn. and its exports
to Brazil to only s133.20O.o0o A similar ratio
prevailed in the cases of the other States, so
that from the whole continent we bought goods
worth more than S10000oo0oo, while we sold
TO It goods worth less than S3450O0OD
With all respect for Senior Gransac and The
Springfield Republican,. therefore we must in-
sist upon the basis of irrefutabe statistics. that
il is the United States. far more than Europe.
that exchanges its goods for South America $
without trying to shut out the latter's products.
Our market is the most hospitable In the world
to South American goods. and the contrast he
tween this country and Europe In commercial
treatment OF South America is strongly In favor
of the United States.
