SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.
Why American Exporters Do Not
Get Their share.


Get Their share.
From an address b. Reprsssntatiss Gustav Kustss-
nam.
The real trouble is that our merchants
and manufacturers DO not 60 after the
trade as the manufacturers OF European
countries do.
No agent from Europe ever goes there
10 solicit trade without fully understand
ing the language Of the people OF those
countries, which Is Spanish. I am in
formed that agents for American firms
not versed IN Spanish expect their Gus
toners 70 learn English. so that they
may sell them American goods
Another falling OF the American agent
am told by European agents employed
In South America, is that the American
agents do not stay long enough 10 get
acquainted with their customers, but are
always in a hurry and expect an order
on the first day OF their arrival.
Still another reason FOR the failure Of
the American agent TO capture orders Is
that he expects TO have his customers
select from the samples he carries with
him, while the European agent offers
to furnish such styles OF merchandise as
suit the tastes and demands OF those
countries. even though he does not carry
with him the special design desired.
l maintain that trade does not follow
the flag. and IL is not as al likely that
any more trade could be obtained in South
America, even though subsidized ships
were ready TO transport the goods.
Get the trade first and then there viii
be no difficulty IN finding ships that VIII
eagerly seek that business without the
proffer Of subsidies

Georvs 2. Parker. in McC7ure'G
On the second Saturday before the cleo
ticn OF 1892 3Ir. Cleveland sent for ne 70
come at once TO New York As soon as
arrived he explained his summons:
stevenson has never written any letter
Of acceptance. and now have trust
worthy information that the Republicans
are coming out with a great exposure OF
his supposed record as a greenbacker,
more than twenty years ago. know how
sound his opinions are. but II IS necessary
for Us to meet this threatened movement
by spiking our opponents guns. Steven
son promised me yesterday that he would
write letter OF acceptance, but he has
left town without doing g. He has gone
either 70 Charleston OF Charlestown. ".
VaI don't know which-to make
speeches. Now. know Il Is a hard jour
aey, but 7 want you 20 find out where
he is. start this afternoon, and get his
letter out at the earliest moment Per-
haps." he said in something OF an aside.
although We we're alone. when you are
on the train. in order 20 save tine, il
might be vel for y01 10 prepare some
thing IN the way Of suggestion
Finding that this errand involved travel
OF about L.2oo miles. I took the first train
for the capital OF West Virginia AS soon
as I was seated IN the Pullman car
bethought me Of Mr.. Cleveland's sUS-
gestion. took out pad and fell 10 work
Before had reached Trenton I had writ
ten a tentative Vice Presidential letter OF
acceptance. Il was strong on sound
money and the tariff. with incidental
treatment OF other questions then cur

Upon arriving at Charleston the next
day, about noon. I was met at the station
By the candidate for Vice President the
governor OF the state. ald the chairman
OF the State committee In reply 10 a
question about my errand, told Afr.
Stevenson that had come for his letter
Of acceptance. and he replied:
Yes: I thought as much
On the way t0 his hotel he asked:
Did you happen 10 think Of writing
anything on the way DOWN"
Ny draft was accepted With verbal
changes. and with the addition OF an ex-
tract from one OF the candidates recent
speeches on the force bill A typewriter
was found. copies were made. and by Il
o'clock n the evening they were fled with
both the press associations.
At midnight I took my train 70 New
York. and long before I got back the
letter OF acceptance had appeared in
every newspaper IN the United States.
The Republican charges were forestaIled
so completely that the matter never was
heard OF again Mr.. Cleveland was keen
enough as a politician when q prtncipfe
was involved

Benzoate Of 81. Aoain.

We clip the following communication:

We are not sure that this terse and

it IS worthy Of the publc's attention and
consideration. which is IN large measure
the motive behind its republication here

DR.. ". " Keen. it so happens. is one
OF the most eminent medical men in this
entire country. He is a deep student, and
his conclusions carry great weight among
the members Of the profession he 50 con
spicuously adorns. He goes directly to
the heart OF the benzoate OF soda con
troversy, and he suggests a sure and
certain method OF avoiding the deIeterlous
effects he considers surely attaching to
its prolonged and everyday use. People
who are compelled TO partake Of preserved
food can avoid this harmful Ingredient.

the system inferior concoctions. by de-

worthy manufacturers Champions OF the
consumer are few and far between in
this country, more's the pity; and It is
no wonder "Old Borax" has had the
crowd with him. despite the stumbling
blocks and the embarrassments thrown
in his way.
The fight for absolutely pure food in
this country has not enued yet, and it

Like the fight for civic purity. it is des-

A Warning About Wireless.

The failure Of wireless telephony in the
navy, or at least the postponement of
the demonstration OF its usefulness in its
present stage OF development. ought 10 be
fully known throughout the country. This
Is not because Of its relation to the naval
service as q means OF communication in
the mechanism Of ships OF war. for that
is q matter which need concern only the
officers Of the service and those who take
an interest in naval equipment. But It is
OF vast importance, IN view Of the ex-
ploitation Of the official adoption Of wire
less telephony as a means Of inducing peo-
pie to buy the stock Of companies which
have been formed for the manufacture
and sale of that device It has been OBJ
served by the Navy Department that
these companies. or the agents represent
ing them IL financial matters, have beer
making much Of the fact that the navy
has adopted the wireless telephone, and
some Of the advertisements for the sale
Of stock have given prominence and sig
niGcanee TO an incident which does not
Justify the favorable claims More than
that. prominent naval officers have been
quoted as indorsing this OF that system.
With such Misrepresentation - for It
amounts to that-many people have been
led into buying stock which must be worth
less, or nearly SC. or a. least Of such doubt
