THE TRADE oF TAMpIco

The United States, England, Ger many France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands and Switzer- land do business in this district The trade of each was originally acquired by citizens of the several countries coming here to establish new enters prises.
 The Spainiards, being first in the field, became the shopkeepers, and brought from Spain the goods with which they were most familiar. Eng land supplied the coal, railway and heavy hardware, and machinery for years, as Englishmen were the first to built a railroad in Mexico and to in- troduce new methods of mining. Frenchmen coming over with Maxilnil- ian at the time of the intervention brought with them the silks and arts of France and introduced them to this people, so that to-day FrenehmeR are the owners of the principal dry goods and millinery stores throughout Mexf- co. German merchants sent hither their trusted employees, years ago, to establish branches of the Hamburg hardware houses, and to-day control the retail hardware trade The mer- chants of the United States began to get an appreeiable part of Mexican trade when American capital com menced to build railroads south from the Texas border, and soon Americans were furnishing the coal, railway sup- plies, lumber, hardware, etc, that go to build a country just awakening to the touch of competitive commerce.
 From all of which it may be truly said that while catalogues and corres- pondence have their effect on trade, that which is necessary to the success ful introduction of new goods is plao- ing the actual article, or sample, be- fore the Mexican merchant and consu- lner by an expert and having it's use explained by one who thoroughly un- derstands and appreciates it. A per- sonal study, on the ground, of Mexi- cans and their needs, by the best sales man a factory can send out (better still by proprietor) would result in better business more quickly secured than in any other way, and business once secured in Mexico, based on confidence and fair dealing, is Q permanent propo- sition.
 To illustrate the foregoing, over twenty-five years ago an engine and boiler manufacturing company of Erie, Pa, desiring to enter the Mexican field, commenced a correspondence and sent catalogues with little,result ex- cept as an introduction; but the head of the company, a man of fine presence and impressive manners, finally came to Mexico himself, saw just what the local trade demanded, became ac- quainted with his prospective custo- mers. personally arranged credit and method of shipment, and before leaving the republic established an agency that to-day handles more goods than any other house in it's line here.-London Commercial Intelligence.

AN ELECTION HYMN.

America! The land of lands, Is born again, with silken bands Of brotherhood and charity, S3'ted for eternity. From sIlv. 10 shore, the golden sun Looks down upvs. victory won. A victory over petty strife That sapped the glow :u manhood life And bound onhim with heavy locks The title, Brother to the OK. Iii crises great the long years past He seemed to merit it. He cast On grandest moves of state As much of bitterness and hate As ever lowest creatures show In reaching aims; nor seemed to l0;ow A better way. An era new Has dawned, we hope and with it, too. Will come the faith that manNyill stand On the fair heights his Maker planned He should attain; and looking down From those fair heights with joy, will
 frown
 On littleness that hides the man. From those fair heights he now can
 scan
 And sweep the universe for God, In gratitude. From ey'ry rod Of this great land we tribute bring. This holy, holy, we will sing: America! again, to the We bow the head, we bend the knee. On ev'ry wind where'er 1t blows, From ice-bound lake in Maine's pine
 groves,
 Der sunny Georgia's scented rose; And lands whose heart no winter
 knows.
 Where Minnehaha's laughing streams, Where California's golden dreams Have Croesus made of men whose
 handa
 Have knocked at natures heart in
 bands
 And labor glorifed: where now The desert turns to rose, as plow Uplifts and turns the willing sod To fell the warm, sweet kiss of God, And makes of mana man, indeed, Nor asks his color, race or creed. America! The land of lands Is born again, with silken bands Of brotherhood and charity United for eternity.
