THE SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

Secretary Leslie NJ. Shaw, addressing
recent banquet, urged strongly the ad-
vantages to be obtained by c~ultivatins
trade with South America. He drew at
tention to the statistics of trade be-
tween that continent n the United
States showing within the past ten years
q balance of trade in favor of South
America Of three-quarters of a billion.
Our annual imports from South Amer
lean countries are more than three
times the value of our expectations to
those countries.
In the opinion of the secretary. this
condition of trade may be amended If
not entirely changed, by the establish
ment of lines of transportation directly
connecting the South American ports
with our own. According to Mr..
the southern republics in foreign bot
IONS and in many instances by way
Of European ports. To the seaboard
transportation is cheaper in ours than
In II other country. Our troubles be-
gin al the water line with the lack
Of a merchant marine. The speaker
sriminated against as to make it inn
possible to export anything to South
American countries"
European manufacturers have for a
hong time paid great attention to the
South American trade. Perhaps a con-
siderable part OF the trade prestige
they have gained there may be traced
TO the fact that this trade, is carried
In their own ships. No harbor is hid
British n German merchant mar
ne. More thai this perhaps. as a
controlling factor of the German trade
with South America, is the army of
ealesmen for German manufacturers
that is scattered thickly over every
South American country. They go

ltory methods of the business men.
they speak the language and create a
personal clientele. While the United
Etates trade is invading Europe the
German manufacturer is quietly in
%trench;ng himself in Latin America.
President Mckinley perceived this and
urged the necessity of better trans
portation facilities between the two
Americas. Steamship lines between
the greater ports of this country to the
principal seaboard cities of our south
ern neighbors would seem a profitable
undertaking for the manufacturer and
producer of the United States.

to be sold to private capitalists. There
is also a reaction against the present
craze for building enormous fortifica-
lions along the s%eaeoast and fitting
them with costly pieces of artillery. 1t
is recognized that this money had very
much better be spent on ships.
A curious and significant incident of
the hundredth anniversary of the Brit
ish and Foreign Bible Society, noted by
the Churchman, is that The president of
the celebration should hay been a
Jew. the lord mayor Of London. while
the chief speaker was ,he prime min
lister of the empire. 1t vas said at the
meeting that tho the Bible is cir
culated in 400 languages and dialects,
there still remain more than half Il bill
ion persons who have never had
opportunity to read any part of it in
their own tongue.

WILL HE GET BUMPED?

With inordinate glee and hilarity
some IF the papers are telling their
readers to just wait until Governor
Cummins goes down to the national re-
publican convention with this Iowa
idea and tries to get it recognized in
the national platform. They predict
that he Will get such a bump that the
idea will be entirely knocked out of
him. Meaning also that every %republi-
can who believes that the tariff sche-
dulles need revision will stink back to
his cave when the national delegates
sit down on him.
Well. let's see. If the News Is not
mistaken, the Iowa idea has already
had a place in the national platform.
The following from the national plat
form Of 1896 is pertinent proof:
"Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures of republican policy, and go
hand in hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both and both
must be re-established. Protection for
what we produce: free admission for
the necessities of life which we do not
produce: reciprocical agreements OF
mutual interest which gain open mar
kets for us in return for ourso open mar

TEACHERS AND WAGES.

Reports from all parts of Iowa IN
teachers has, at last, forced a rise in
the salaries of this class of instructors.
In some instances townships have in
creased the monthly stipend of teachers
by nearly 90 per cent and a general
rise of from SIS to $40 monthly has been
granted. 1t is hoped by this forced
generosity to bring into the hoo
again those teachers who have found
more remunerative employment in
other lines of endeavor and nave APP
parently left school work for good.
Perhaps none engaged in the work of
instruction has e. more difficult and re-
sponsible task than the rural teacher.
Certainly non work for less pay. Hun
dreds OF Iowa schools nave hired teach
ers at $25 monthly, and in many instan-
ces have been sufficiently fortunate to
get teachers of fair capacity at this
price. Forty dollars during the winter

wages In the summer $25 to $50 has
been the rule unless in particular dis
tricts where school patrons have rec
ognized the necessity of higher wages
and have made up the deficiency by
private subscription or assessment of
the sub-district.
1t seems strange that an intelligent
farmer would pay higher wages to the
man who feeds his hogs hi TO a
ton and morals of his children, but
in many instances this has been lone in
Iowa. The over supply of half quail
fled teacher which has existed until
OF more recent years and the general
carelessness exhibited by the average
parent in practical school affairs is
largely blameabie for this condition.
Ii is an axiom in many country neigh
borhoods that almost any kind OF

A FOLLOWER OF SOLOMON.


Miss Pearl Watson, the efficient head
of our own schools. is undoubtedly
the champion birch wielder in Hamil-
ton county's pedagogical field, for on
last Wednesday morning she thrashed
eleven OF her boy pupils. and then,
like Alexander. sighed for more youths
to conquer The wholesale whaling was
the aftermath from a small riot In
which the boys had become involved
while returning from school the pre-
ceeding evening, n news of which
reached the teachers ears. She de-
cided hat the precepts of the school
should be rendered more impressive,
SO when the final bell rang Wednesday
morning, the general chastisement was
made Il special order of business
taking the place of the usual opening
exercises. Two of the young hopefuls
had gotten wind of what was to occur
and adopted the time honored custom
of wearing as many suits of clothing
as they could pile upon their small per-
sons. The plan worked to perfection,
as Miss Watson, tho a most competent
educator, doesn't pretend to possess
extensive information upon the sub
ject of masculine attire-but h could
MT help wondering why the precocious
pair accepted their switching with
such good humor. Principal Runkle
tanned a couple of his boys for parti-
%cipation In the trouble, making thir-
teen youths in all. who passed under
the rod. The morals and manner in
the atmosphere of the school has no
doubt been greatly clarified by this

THE PARTAKER AND THE THIEF.

A crusade Of investigation is to b1
started Immediately by the postoffic'
department against get rich quick con-
Germs" fake mining companies ant
other corporations doing a suspectedly
fraudulent business. Firms or corpor-
ations which promise enormous returns
to the investor will be quietly investi-
gated and evidence of a fraudulent ma
ture will bar them from the use of Uni
ted States mail privileges.
Since the period of prosperity came
the mails lave been crowded with pros
p%ectuses of scaly mining and oil COM
panies. which with the advertisement
of crooked concerns accepted by toe
many newspapers, have carried the al
Turing promises of the get rich quick
promoter into the homes and business
places of the gullible. This expenditure
for advertising. purposes has brought
rich eturn to the grafters who have
conducted the campaign. Now the COM
plants of their victimized patrons have
stirred the department to renewed ac-
ton against this form of s%windling.
That the crusade will not be without
effect goes without saying.
Much of the loss sustained by patrons
of inflated oil and mining companies
is chargeable to the newspapers which
accept the money and admit the ad-
v~ertisements OF such concerns without
investigation. Reputable newspapers
carry a responsibility toward their sub
scribers. 1t is their plain duty to as
sist in the protection of his home and
his pocketbook by refusal to admit OBJ
scene or swindling advertisements to
their columns. Nevertheless hundreds
of crooked" and indicate advertise
,nents run daily in newspapers that
lay claim to responsibility.
No matter how alluring from a bank
book point of view these contracts may
appear the high class newspape
should refuse every ad accompanied by
suggestive cuts or indicate reading
matter or that supports a just suspicion
of intent to mislead and swindle. The
really excellent newspaper will find
that it car exist and remain prosperous
under this policy. So far as those pa
pers which make cheapness their only
claim on patronage and to which ad-
vertising is the very lifeblood of exis-
tence are con~cerned-that is another
story. They must trade the right to be
honest for the privilege of living.
