VENEZUELA GOOD FIELD
FOR AMERICAN TRADE.
By John Temple Graves.

ny VOAh ASAnPAS NEhNco.
The United States should have a
reciprocal tariff agreement with Vene-
zuela, country presenting fair aver.
age commercial conditions. Venezuela
is over eight times the size of New
York state, with a total population,
black, Indian and mixed, civilized and
savage, about equal to the population
of Brooklyn and the Bronx. In natural
resources it is one of the richest coun-
tries in the world, with scarcely any
waste lands.
Practically every acre may be cul.
tivated, and in this respect it excels
any of the other countries of South
America, and all of North America,
except perhaps Uruguay, certain of
the West Indies, and two or three Cen
tral American countries, and its area
is much greater than all of these to-
gether. It's possibilities are vast.
In the list of countries trading with
the United States Venezuela stands
25th of those from which we import
and 9th of those to which we export,
Our trade with The Netherlands is
eight times and with Belgium over five
times greater than with Venezuela, yet
dollar for dollar and not dollars in the
aggregate, our trade with Venezuela is
the more valuable to us.
Our imports from Venezuela are, ex.
cept coffee and cocoa all raw materials
needed in our industries, rubber, hides
and skins, asphalt, woods, tonka beans
and copaiba, from all of which we, by
adding skill and labor in manufacture
Freap large profits, These things form
the basis of some of our leading indus
tries, giving work to hundreds of thou
sands of mechanics and laborers.
On the other hand, what we sci
to Venezuela are our highest-class ex
ports, those in which labor and skill
form the chief value. The trade with
Belgium and The Netherlands, gener
ally speaking, is the reverse of all this
From these aforementioned countries We
buy the products of labor and sell tC
them the materials with which labor
operates, while from Venezuela we buy
the raw material for our work and sci
the finished product.
The United States is, "a feeder to Bel
GUM; Venezuela is a feeder to thu
United States.
Our trade with Venezuela is recipro
cally beneficial to both countries, but i
is trade built up by individual enter
price alone. 1t owes nothing excep
tolerance, and often but little of that
to the governments, past or present
Of either Venezuela or the United
States. .,
However, it has grown and is grow
ling, and it stands for reciprocity from
the private or individual standpoint.

DIGGING COAL is NOT so
HAZARDOUS AS MET
AL MINING.
Comparison OF Death Rate
Furnishes Upset to the
General Belief.

Washington, April l2.-Con
trary to general belief, mining
for gold, silver, copper, iron
and other metals is more haz-
ardous occupation in the United
States than digging coal. With
great disasters occurring at in
tervals in the coal mines aud
killing 100 or more men at II
time, the impression has pre-
vailed that no other branch of
the industry contained so much
danger and such a high rate Of
fatalities, but the United States
bureau of mines comes forth
with the statement that the
metal mines in 1911, killed more
than four men in every 900
employed. to be exactly 4.lg.
while the death rate in the coal
mines for the same year was
3.37 i'm every 1000 men. The
greater proportion OF deaths in
the metal mines is all the more
striking when it is understood
that in the metal mines there is
an entire absence of the gas and
dust that cause explosions in
the coat mines
the bureau also makes the
statement that the American
death rate in the metal mines
is only exceeded by three other
countries, Mexico, Peru and
Transvaal 1t compares this
country's record af 4.l0 men
killed in every ,000 employed
with Great Britian's record of
l.6l, Germany's of l29 a ~ d
Frances 3.15.
The death in the metal mines
added to those in the coal mine
makes q total of 2,4l4 men
killed during the year 1911 in
mining or3.Sl i'm every 1000
employed

HENRY CARTER STUART

Hon. II G. Stuart is TO nave
no opposition for the democrat
ic nomination for governor, at
least SO it appears at this stage
of the game.
Harry st. George Tucker,
who has been waiting for Pres
ident Wilson TO give him some
Federal appointment, and wait
ed in vain, has withdrawn from
the race. lie was not I'm the
race exactly. but signi6ed his
intention to be or thought he
would be, until a few days ago.
when all of sudden he took "a
notion TO do so and did with
draw" He announces hc is
going TO support Mr. Stuart
and fight as a private within
the ranks against "the ma
chine.
Congressman Carter Glass, of
the Sixth district, would not be
inveighed into trap to make
the race.
lie had a better thing in the
Craftsmanship Of the finance
committee OF the house and de
clined to let ii go for an unccr
ltainity. He too we believe lis
going 10 support Mr.. Stuart,
land is opposed TO the ma
lchine.
Therefore, AS we say, IT now
appears that MIR. Stuart will
have no democratic opposition
unless another Richmond man
comes into the field. In case
there is none, there will be no
need of a primary, there VIII be
none, his money will be handed
back to him and he will be de-
clarcd by the state democratic
committee the candidate Of the
party and he will be elected
He would have been ANYHOW

had r Abingdon Nirginian.

In speaking of road building
in Virginia the Richmond
Times dispatch, in recent is
sue, has the following to say in
regard to the work Ia Wise
County:
But it is the Southwest
that lea d s all the rest in
the matter of road building
Wise county is first in the State,
having voted more than 81 900,
600 in bonds OF permanent high
ways, ali Of which is not yet
expended The county is now
nearly covered by a system of
roads that will be there always,
afrording travel in all direct
ions. Tho cost of construction
there is very great, for the
county is nearly all mountains,
aud grading is a tremendous
item Besides. the proportion
of farm ing land is not
large. But the mine owners,
who pay the bulk of taxes, have
not hesitated to indorse the
bond issues and to stand for the
taxation necessary to provide
interest and redemption funds.
