OUR TRADE ABROAD.
American Goods Making . Market on Their
Merits Alone.

Washington, June 2.-There has been
a decided increase in the quantity of
American articles appearing in the
shops of AK La Chappelle during the
past year" says Consul Brundage.
"Our cash registers, hardware, crackers,
tools, etc, are imported, as well US
draft hores. Our agricultural appara-
tus, woodworking machinery, tools,
locks, oil stoves, ink and canned goods
are noted by Consul Aman as advance
ing in Importance, although he says
they seem to be gaining trade through
their merits only.
Consul Harris, at Mannheim, says
the ability of American shoe manufac-
turers to place their wares on the con-
tinental markets is past the experiment
tai stage, and that nearly every Euro
pean capital and smaller cities now
have one or more shoe stores stocked
with a large per cent of United States
goods. The possibilities of the cheap
er grades, Consul Harris thinks, offer
the greatest opportunity for future
development, the better class of goods
now being well introduced.

Manufacturing limitations.

Consul OZmun says that American
linen goods are imported to be used as
samples to be copied. 1t is thought
they can be made cheaper in Germany
than in the United States. He also
thinks there is an elegant opportunity
to sell cut glassware of United States
make One of the largest local dealers
recently informed the consul that he
had bought some time previously line
of American cut glassware from deal
er in Hamburg Not only had it been
speedily disposed of, but there were de-
mands for more.
''It is astonishing" says Consul
Baldwin, of Nuremburg, chow many
American goods of every description
are to be found now in German cities. 4"
The ancient palace of Charlemagne,
in Germany, is being renovated with

pears are preferred in the empire to the

can machinery is being used to inn

pelle.
1t is said that the Germans are copy
ing American made articles SO closely
that the limitations bid fair to make
serious inroads on the sale of the gen.
uine goods.

months worked in her shirt sleeves be-

One day, however, part of the colliery
roof, underneath which she worked, fell
in, just missed the girl and killed the
man next to her. This scared Esther
so badly that she quit the coal bust

came back to her and leaving Glasgow
for Ayr, on the sea coast, she prepared
to carry it out.
Esther didn't find much difficulty in
getting berth" on board ship. She
signed as cabin boy on a vessel called
the Discovery, and it was on this craft
that she took her trip around the
Scottish coast. She was paid off at
Newport, England, and promptly found
a place as cabin boy on ship bound
for South America. After this voyage
was over she found herself In Cardiif,

in which she set off for Alexandria was
named the Gem, and the girl worked as

around that 81 doctor was coming to
examine the entire ships company, she
went to her captain and confided in
him. Fortunately for her he proved

had reached port policeman heard
some of the men talking about Esther
and forthwith made 1t His business to
arrest her. The girl was released,
however, after day or two, another

claimed her.
Esther says that she doesn't like the

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by Pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger tand anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

TO ADOPT A GOLD BASIS.
Mexican Ambassador Says His coun

| Mexican Ambassador Says His Coun-
try viii Soon Take This Action.
Chicago. Dec. 11.--William e. Curtis
in a Washington special to the Record
Herald says: Mexico is going to adopt
a gold basis. MIR. Aspiroz, the MeSi-
can ambassador, said that such was the
plan and determination of President
Diaz and that it would be carried out
as rapidly as the economic conditions
of the country would permit. 1t is re-
ported that Mr.. Limantour, the min
lister of finance, has entered into ne
gotiations with q syndicate of New
York bankers to supply the government
with $50,000,000 Of gold for redemp-
ton purposes, but Mr.. Aspiroz knows
nothing about that. He has heard the
story, but his government has not adj
yised him as to its plans II 1T has
any in that direction.
"The only actual step that has been
taken thus far toward gold basis"
said he, lis the enactment of law
by the congress Of Mexico, which is
already in force, requiring the payment
of customs duties in gold or the equiv
alent; upon theoretical exchange at 100
per cent premium. Therefore as the
price Of silver goes down the customs
duties are increased to corresponding
amount when paid in silver, which is
the currency of the country.
AS an Illustration" continued the
ambassador. the rate of exchange be-
ing ITO at present, the importing mer-
chants have their choice between pay
ing their duties in gold at 500 or IN
silver at $3.50. As the exchange is
calculated at 100, the actual difference
is $50 in silver,
1.-The great difficulty in my country is
that we produce so much silver and so
little gold, but the production of gold
is rapidly increasing, particularly in
northwestern part of the republic"
