SOUTH AMERICAS FOREIGN TRADE

tcopyright, ipus. by Frank 0. carpenter.)
 WASHINGTON, D. c.
 Eouth Amefaca's trade is biz red apple. Cor which the nations are scramblinE. They would like to annex new territory, but the Monroe doctrine prevents that. and so they are doing what they can to Gobble the commerce. The Germans are the most anxious and have put in the most money. They have s15o.00o.ooo in Brazil and sso0, 100000 in other parta of South America. They have $So.000.000 in the nitrate mines of Chile. si0.0oo,ooe m Venezuelan railroads. and an enormous amount in mines, farms. banks and fac- tories all over the continent.
 Our Invasion of Brazil.
 But let me take you from country to eoustry and show you what is going on in the way of foreign investments and trade In the other half of our hemisphere. We shall start with Brazil. That coun- try contains about half of all South Amer ica. and more than half the people. It has all sorts of land and almost every kind of climate and product. It produces the bulk of the rubber and most of the eoffee consumed by the world. and is about the richest undeveloped part of the globe.
 Starting at the north is the valley of the Amazon. where the Americans have ex- tensive investments. We have an electric line in Para, the great rubber port, and the Amazon. We practically control the rubber industry and we ship cotton, flour and other goods to Para and Manaos. The

respective importers a great advantage over the Americans. The most of our banking business with South America Is done In European exchange. and we have to pay q tax to the English banks on sv- cry dollars worth of our business.
 American Goods in Brazil.
 Nevertheless. American goods are rapid ly making their way into Brazil. Nearly all the lard. bacon, salmon. lobster and other canned goods of the Amazon come from the United States. They use our flour and our kerosene, and we lead there in the sale of hardware and tools.
 Some of the railroads of Brazil are us- ing American engines. There are electric railways in Santos. equipped with Amer lean rolling stock and our typewritefe and sewing machines dominate the mar ket. The American beycie is considered the best high-priced machine south of tho equator. and our firearms are in great demand. In some places American furni- ture Is making its way. although the Aus tfian brentwood still practically controls the market.
 In Argentina. <, The Argentine Republic is less appre. ciated than any other part of South Amer ica- It is almost impossible to. conceive the extent of its natural resources. IL is the largest body Of good land on the globe where edible grain can be raised and gotten to tidewater. The country is in its infancy and 1t already has a trade of two hundred million dollars year. The bulk of this business goes through Buenos Ayres. one of the most thriving

Where Government Bills, Bank Notes, Bonds and Postage and Revenue Stamps Are Engraved and Printed at Millions Day.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
 Uncle Sam has the greatest money mak- ing establishment in the world. It is the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the enormous brick building immediately south of the White House. where all the government securities, internal revenue stamps, postage stamps and public issues are engraved and printed
 Visitors to Washington desire usually to see the White House first and then ask to be shown the place where the green backs are printed" The Bureau of En- Kraving and Printing is located on the Mall in close proximity to the washing ton Monument, bounded by Fourteenth and Fifteenth Streets, 8. w., and the beautiful driveway along the banks or the picturesque Potomac river.
 The building occupies about two acres of land and is said to be one or the finest brick structures in the world. After niRhtfal it is probably the most conspic- uous public building in the capital city. Owing to the great demand for govern ment securities, internal revenue and postage stamps a day and night force are obliged to be employed at the bureau. It's hundreds of windows are illuminated nightly. suggesting the Crystal Palace by gaslight and can be seen from all parts of the city.
 Prior to 1882 public issues of government money were printed by hank note comp ,- nIas in New York city. It was while Salmon P. Chase was Secretary or the Treasury, during Lincoln's administra- ton. that the government coneluoeo 10 print its own money in Washington. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing was located first on the top floor of the pres ent Treasury Department Several years later 1t became necessary to erect sep

arate building for this important branch of the Treasury Department. The pres- ent site was selected, and a modest red brick factorylike structure was erected. Year by year additions were made and plans have been drawn and the money is appropriated to further expand this build lnR.
 Originally only United States notes were engraved and printed by the bureau Now government bonds. national bank notes internal revenue stamps. postage stamps cheeks and drafts used by disbursing of. lcers ot the Treasury, and all other gov ernment issues are engraved and printed there. Today the authorized force of em. ployes is 925 persons. 1Nis includes skill. ed operatives in engraving and printing expert counters, helpers and clerks. al salaries ranging from S6,000 per annum down to printers' assistants at $1.50 per day.
 The highest saiaried employees are the engravers. They receive from S6,OOO to &. GOO a year. the principal engraver, who executes and designs the decorative work and the vignettes, receiving the maximum salary. There are 695 printers, who av- craze from S2.5Oo to s1.2OO a year by piece work. Expert counters, examiners, per forators and numberers are paid from $7CO 10 $500 a year.
 One of the surest and best indications of the business prosperity of the United States is shown by the remarkable In- crease in the sale of internal revenue and postage stamps. During the month ot ! october just past the output of internal revenue and postage stamps far exceeded that of any other month in the history of the government An official of the bureau who has seen thirty-four consecutive years of service in discussing the affairs of the bureau remarked:
 Sure Signs of Prosperity. october was the banner month for vyorl, done at the bureau. When the govern. ment receipts for internal revenue ana postage stamps show large increase we know the business of the country is boom- ing.

know litle about the country or people ent their trade relations are almost alto gsther with Europe. You have te wal! weeks to set direct ship to the United States. but you can start almost any day for Europe. The Argentines are cos mopolitans.-, They care but litle iron, where theif goods come. but they want the best ard the cheapest.

 There Is an enormous field for our farm tools in Argentina. American blows are needed and all of the smaller kinds of farming machinery as well as steam en- zines. steam threshers and steam blows. The upper part of the country is develop ing sugar business. and our sugar n1i1l- ing machinery could bs sold there. There Is big opening. too, for the American shoe as well as for all sorts of American cottons.

the French 100000. Spaniards 2O0OOO and Italians 6Oo,00. The Italians lead both in Buenos Ayres and in the country. They form more than one-tenth of the whole population. and they have a large part of the business. They are rapidly acquir- ing farms and are engaged in banking and other business in Buenos Ayres.
 Meat and " ool.
 The English and Germans are interested In the exportation of meat and wool. Ar gentina has 1OO,OOo,0OO sheep, and 1t has frozen meat establishments which ship mutton by the hundreds of thousands of carcasses to London. Its wool clip some times amounts to 50O.OO0.0Cr pounds a year. and the greater part of this goes to Europe. The people are improving their sheep. and they have to-day a bet ter class of sheep than the United Estates. It is the same with cattle. The finest bulls of Holland and England go to Argentina. single animals selling for thousands of dollars.
 American Trade With the Argentine
 Our trade in the Argentine is increas- ing but the field Is not half worked. We
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-12-13

many Italians and English. The biggest coffee plantation of the world Is owned by an English syndicate. A large part of the exporting of the coffee is in the hands of Americans. Our leading firms have houses at Santos and they largely control the coffee trade of the interior.
 Tn this part of the country the Germans and English are interested In railroads The Germans have also planned lines for the upper Amazon, and they are talking of building one along the coast from Per nambuco to Rio de Janeiro. As 1t is now they have about the best steamship con- nections with South America. There are i've great German steamship companies which trade with Brazil and other parts of the continent, enabling German exports to have the lowest freight rates, and con meeting the continent as closey with Ger many as with any other country of Flu rope.
 Both the Germans and English have banks h Brazil. The English have bank fng connections at every port, and the Germans have me bank there with cap stnl e s2.00o,OOo ThAaa hanks give their

commercial centers of the world. Buenos Ayres has now almost million people. 1t is city of rich men, of syndicates and banks. some of which have deposits running high into the tens of millions.
 The Argentine is land of great estates operated with fine machinery and run with large capital Outside Australia it has the biggest sheep farms of the world. and 1t leads the world in fine cattle. At present 1t produces about S0.o00.0OO bush els of wheat fin season, and of late it has begun to turn its wheat into flour. It has now more than 6 thousand four mills, many of which are equipped with machinery from the United States. More land is put into wheat every year, and 1t Is said that at the low rate of ten bushels an acre it's wheat lands, if they wer5 brought under cultivation, could produce more than half of the present wheat yield of the world.
 The possibilities for trade here are enor- nous. and we have only a limited share of Europeans living in the country. and they throw the trade. as far as possible, to their fatheriands. The Germans in Argentina number 17,ooo. the English 22,OO
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-12-13

trade there annually amounts to about e0O00,000 gold dollars, and 1t is guscepti- bie of enormous increase.
 West Deutschland.
 In the States further South the Eng Ifah and Germans have cotton and su- gar factories and the lower part of the country is almost entirely given up to Gne Germans. There are provinces in Southern Brazil which have e better cIi- mate than most parts of the United States. They have wheat and pasture lands as good as any part of the Argen- 1lna. and their meat factories turn out xailiions of dollars worth of dried beei every year. sN
 Here you find German signs over the ntorss. there are German factories and preweFies everywhere and the country ae known by the Germans as West Deutschland. If it were not for the Mon- roc Doctrine the kaiser would have long since gobbled it, and in case of a great var in which the United States hands might be firmly tied he would attempt to annex 1t to Germany.
 There are Germans in the great coffee provinces a little further north and also

amount of galvanized iron both for roof ing and walls. and the pastures are being rapidly inclosed in fences of barbed and woven wire. Railroads are being built. and the United States Steel Trust is probably getting its share of the new or ders.
 The great trouble there, as in Brazil, is in the lack of banking and shipping facilities. There should be an American bank in New York, with branches at Buenos Ayres. Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo and others of the large cities. Such a bank would get the bulk of the American busi- ness, and would probably do well from the start. as all foreign banks have good business.
 4 fast line of American steamers should be inaugurated to trade between New Yrok and Buenos Ayres. It could make the trip in seventeen days, and 1t would have a large part of the carrying trade of eastern South America. which amounts to more than s1oo. 900 year.

ty dollars and for internal revenue stamps that obliges us to work day and night"
 The Secretary of the Treasury can at his discretion change the style of any ts- sue of notes or bonds. Ordinarily 1t takes from three to six months to ongrave. print and get into circulation a new issue of notes. Under the pressure the work can be accomplished in a much shorter period. During the SpS'Aish war internal revenue war tax stamps were gotten out In sevepteen days. This required the en- eravers and printers to work day and night.
 Eor practical use experts in the mAnu- lecture of money agreed that the less en- Graving there ia upon a note the more serviceable 1t Is. While John c. Carlisle was Secretary of the Treasury he author lzed the issuance of series of notes Ren- orally known as the historical ssrias." The notes of each denomination of the se- ries contained an elaborate illustration of some historical event
 Many of the most skilled artists of this country were invited to submit designS on when completed, but there was so much engraving on the plate that the im- pressiong destroyed much of the substance of the paper and the series was soon can~ oelled.
 In this connection the fact 10 recalled that there Is . law in existence prohibit Ing the use of the portrait of any living person on a government note. There are two reasons given for the passage of this act. One is that c former chief of the bureau allowed his vanity to get the ad- vantage of him to the extent of having his own portrait printed on the fracuonai currency then being issued The other a!- leRed reason was to prevent the portrait of Andrew Johnson appearing on govern ment money while he was President. It Is said that plates had been prepared ana notes were about to be issued when tho law went into effect
 Explained to Visitors.
 The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is open to visitors daily from until 2 o'clock. A corps of trained and intelli- gent guides. is on duty to explain the de- tails of the money making process from the time the paper upon which the secu- rities are printed leaves the mill until the completed note Is placed in circulation. The paper used is manufactured Sxclus- lively for the government at Dalton. Mass.
 The distinctive feature of this paper consists 0f the bits of blue and red gilk

fibre distributed in two lines across tho' paper about two inches from the end of the note The government superintendsI the manufacture of the paper at the mllls and exercises absolute control of itI through the various channels which -it| passes until it becomes pubic money.
 The paper undergoes stxty-three separ-s ate counts from the time it Is manufac- tured until 1t is transformed into money. Upon being shipped to Washington theS paper is turned over to the division of loans and currency, Treasury Depart ment There 1t is recounted and examined
 by experts. The perfect sheets are then
 held subject to the acquisition of the Bu-
 reau of Engraving and Printing. Again 1t is counted before 1t is turned over to the printers.
 The visitor sees 1t piled in great stacks
 in the wetting division. then in the press | room, where each sheet contains an Im- pression of four notes again in the drying
 division. and SO on through the number-
 ing division, fully engraved and completes with one exception:

 Prior to lsss the sealing waa done st' the bursAn. but Treasurer Jordan decided
 that there was too much risk incurred in' carrying such vast sums of completed
 currency through the streets of Wash tnSton and insisted that the Department seal should be applied in the Treasury' Building. This applies only to the United
 States notes. National bank notes ard sealed at the bureau and delivered to the Controller of the Currency, and by, hind shipped to the banks in sheets, so thad the bank officers may sign them and rem der them 1t for circulation.
