GROWTH IN EXPORTS
TO SOUTH AMERICA

Exports to South America have
shown phenomenal gain in the fiscal
year which ends with the present
month. Prior to 1911 the total value
of exports to South America had never
reached 100 million dollars. In 1911,
the total was, speaking in round terms,
109 million dollars, and in the current
fiscal year which ends with the pres
ent month, seems likely to be about
135 million dollars, having more than
doubled since 1905.
Argentina is the country showing
by far the largest gain in our exports
to South America. The figures now
available in the bureau of statistics of
| the department of commerce and labor
indicate that the total exports to Ar
gentina for the complete fiscal year
will amount to about So million dol
lars, against 23l2 million in 1905, hav-
ing thus considerably more than
doubled in the period in question. 70
Brazil the total exports for the fiscal
year will exceed 30 million dollars in
value, against II million in 1905, an
even larger percentage of gain than
in the case of Argentina. To Chile
the total for the year will amount to
about 10 million dollars, against 5}a
million in 1905, also gain of nearly
200 per cent. To Urugury the figures
of exports for the fiscal year which
ends with the present month will ag-
gregate about Z million dollars in
value, against a little less than mil
lion in 1905.
This increase in exports to South
America, while occurring in a large
number of articles, is especially not
able in lumber, leather mineral oils,
and railway material For example,
the exports of lumber to Argentina IN
the 10 months ending with April last,
amounted to ~ million dollars in
value, against million in tn, cores
ponding months of last year; and those
to other South America, over mil
lion dollars, against about million in
the corresponding period of the pre-
ceding year Illuminating oil exported
to Argentina in the 10 months in ques-
tion amounted to about "a million gal
Ions, against about 13 million in the
corresponding months a year ago; and
lubricating oil, over 4 million gallons,
against less than million in the same
months of last year. Glazed kid
leather exported to Argentina in the
: 10 months of 1912 amounted to over |
million dollars in value, against $40
thousand dollars in the corresponding
months of the preceding year. Auto
mobiles exported to South America as
a whole amounted in the 10 months in
question to / y million dollars in value.
against 6SS thousand dollars in the
corresponding months of the preceding
year.
The total value of exports from the
United States to South America as q
whole was, ten years ago, in the fiscal
year 1902, 3S million dollars Five
years ago, in the fiscal year 1907, it
was 80 million dollars, and in the cur
rent year, as indicated above, will
i
probably be about 1S5 million dollars,
an increase Of more than 25O per cent
in the decade, and Of more than 50
per cent in the last five years

THE CASE OF OROZCO.

There is not a smitch of good faith or
reason in any OF the movements against
the government. Let us examine into the
case OF Orozco. Madero believed and trust
ed in Orozco. even though that gentleman
year ago at Juarez in a sportve moment
tried to arrest and kill the President be-
cause Madero insisted upon protecting Ma
yarro. the defeated Diaz general. The out
break at Juarez In February palpably had
Orozco's sanction and aid. Between this
event and the general uprising in Chihua-
hua. Orozco betook himself TO Mexico City.
Directing his conversation intimately TO
the private ear OF the Minister OF the In
terror, Orozco intimated that there was
still a little balance OF 5000 pesos due him
from the government for services rem
dered and property losses sustained by
him In the Madero revolution. There Is
grim factiousness about this when one con-
siders that eighteen months ago Orozco
was bossing pack trains OF mules In
the mountains OF Chihuahua at days
wages. Would the government, he asked
kindly hand over the money In large bills?
Perhaps, he suggested, il would Be just
as well II the transaction did not appear
on the books Of the department.
Orozco did not get the money. He started
back to Chihuahua. 1t does credit perhaps.
to the humanity and magnanimity OF Ma
dero that Orozco was permitted 10 return
10 the north unmolested. Folks have been
heard to remark recently that. under Diaz.
Orozco would have dropped out OF sight
somewhere between the capital and Chi
huahua. Hundreds Of lives would have
been spared and much treasure and vexa-
ton saved the government had Madero
treated Orozco as some Of his advisers
wanted him TO do. But that Is neither here
nor there Madero did let Orozco get away.
With his foot again on his\ native heath
and no $1,000 pesos in his scrip. Orozco pro-
claimed that, upon searching his innermost
soul. or words TO that effect. he had be-
come convinced that pure patriotism dc
tated the overthrow of Madero.
This is a typical example OF the quality
Of the opposition to the government. III II

between the various groups which are max
