GERMANY Qua Rival

The reports Of John n. Carson. chief
Of the bureau OF manufactures in the
department Of commerce and labor. re-
viewing the industries and commerce Of
the Central American countries. show
that Germany has invaded every posi-
bic field and is a strong competitor. In

and the United Kingdom II per cent
Of al the exports during the same year
Germany took % per cent. the United
States "a and the United Kingdom II

These figures are given to show to
what extent the Germans are doing
business in Central America. The
United States although a neighbor.
does not furnish the five Central Amer
can republics with anything like the
amount of manufactured articles and
foodstuffs that it should. The idea in
this country in times past has been TO

under the system Of protection, and let
the foreign markets go. Recently there
has been an effort to do business over
the world, and naturally the prices
must be low enough to bear comparison
with those charged by the manufsctur-
ers of Germany and Great Britain.
Thus 1t quite frequently happens that
American made goods can be purchased
more cheaply abroad than at home.
Probably in the future the United
States will control the trade of both
South and Central America. In the
meantime it is we'll 10 take notice that
Germany is our chief rival. rather than
Great Britain.
In the Oriental countries the United
States. Great Britain and Germany also
confront each other in a commercial
way. and the situation is further COM
plicated by the appearance of Japan
as g buyer and seller. Since the Russo
japanese war the children of the Ris-
ing sun have been inclined to take
forcibIe possession Of the Chinese trade,
and notwithstanding the promises Of an
"open door" commerce has been greatly
hampered. The United states should
have a large share of the trade Of the
Orient and under ordinary conditions
be master Of the situation.
The articles needed by the natives in
all countries are enumerated by our
consuls abroad and published by the
department Of commerce and labor each
day. Every facility is offered for the
sale of American goods. and there is no
good reason why the merchants and
manufacturers Of the United states
should not conquer the world with their
wares.
