Send the best statesmen here"
The United States is more than holding
its own in the race for the imports of Guat-
emala, which, it may be said, are generally
decreasing because of the hard times
through which the country is passing.
Large quantities Of groceries. flour, po-
tatoes, shoes. dry goods and clothing come
from the United States. but Germany and
England seem to have the lead in ma
chinery and hardware There is surely a
fine opening in these latter lines for the
exporters of the United States, but they
must be in position to push their goods
personally, to give longer credits, and to
take more pains with packing.
Consul General Winslow, stationed at
Guatemala City, in speaking of the neces-
sity for scientific packing. calls the atten-
tion of our exporters to the tariff of this
Republic, which indirectly often works to
an almost prohibitive degree when heavy
packing is resorted to. The duties in this
country are either levied on the gross
weight or on each article. There is no ad
valorem duty. During the past year by a
decree of the authorities of Guatemala the
rate of duty collected has been increased
about 80 per cent. Since most of the duties
are collected on gross weight the question
of packing is big item which the Ameri-
can exporter does not generally take into
account, to the detriment of his future
business with these people. Everything for
this country should be thoroughly packed.
but with as light material as possible and
not in too large cases.
Very little machinery is I'm use in this
country, the best of what is in use coming
from the United States This is very large
ly woodworking machinery, ice machines,
iron working machinery, etc, as most of
the farm machinery comes from Europe.
The reason given for this by the planters
Is that American machinery and imple-
ments are too light for the native work.
men. This is but the prejudice of agri-
cultural labOrers who have been used to
nothing but the crudest implements and
who imagine that lightpess and strength
cannot be combined. There will be a good
opening here for American machinery when
better times come If manufacturers
study conditions and meet requirements as
to models and weights.

positively would not let him pass.

about 10 rattlcs and gross OF

was brought to town, gradually
growing smaller and more sickly
looking, and measured only about
fifteen feet less than when first seen
by MIR. Simmons. A careful search
was made, but only eleven rattles
