LITTLE less than three centuries of
"a colonial and national life have brought
Il the people inhabting the United States,
= by process OF evolution, natural and
with the existing forces inevitable, to point OF
distinct and radical change in their economic re-
lations to the rest Of mankind.
During the period past the energy OF our
people, directed by the formative power created
in our early population by heredty, by environ
ment, by the struggle for existence, by individual
independence and by free institutions, has been
devoted to the internal development of our own
country. The surplus wealth produced by our
labors has been applied Immediately to reprOduc-
ton in our own land. We have been cutting down
forests and breaking virgin soil and fencing
prairies and opening mines Of coal and iron and
copper and silver and gold, and building roads
and canals and railroad and telegraph lines and
cars and locomotives and mills and furnaces and
sehooihouses and colleges and Libraries and hos
pitfalls and asylums and public buildings and
storehouses and shops and homes.
A DEBTOR NATION, BORROWING FROM THE
REST OF THE WORLD.
We have been drawing on the resources Of the
world in capital and n labor to aid us in our
work We have gathered strength from every
rich and powerful nation and expended it upon
these home undertakings; into them we have
poured hundreds Of millions Of money attracted
from the investors Of Europe. We have been
debtor nation, borrowing from the rest of the
world, drawing all possible energy toward US and
concentrating it with our own energy upon our
own enterprises. The engrossing pursuit Of our
own opportunities has excluded from our consid-
Grafton and interest the enterprises and the pos
sibiIites Of the outside world, Invention, dis
'covery the progress Of science, capacity for or
ganization, the enormous increase in the pro
duetive power Of man nd have accelerated our
progress ard have brought Us to result Of de-
velopment in every branch OF internal industrial
activity marvellous and unprecedented IN the
history Of the world,
Since the FIRST election of President Mckinley
the people Of the United States have for the first
time accumulated a surplus Of capital beyond tho
requirements of internal development. That sur
plus is increasing with extraordinary rapidly
We have paid our debts to Europe, and have be-
come creditor instead Of a debtor nation; we
rave faced about; we have left the ranks Of the
Borrowing nations.
Our surplus energy is beginning to look beyond
cur own borders, throughout the world, to find
opportunity for the profitable Of our surplus
capital, foreign markets for our manufactures

PRACTISING THE AMENITIES WITH AN EYE
ON SUCCESS.

The South Americans are oar superors in some
respects; we are their superiors in other re-
spccts We should show to them what is best
in US and see what is best in them. Every agent
Of an American producer merchant should be
instructed that courtesy, politeness, kindly con-
side alton are essential requisites for success in
the South American trade.
g. The investment of American capital in
South America under the direction of American
experts should be promoted, not merely upon
simple investment grounds, but as a means Of
creating and charging trade. For simple invest
ment purposes the opportunities are innumerabIe
Good business judgment and good business man
agement will be necessary there, of course, as
they are necessary here, but given these DeHeVe

and in which the ,perty and the profits will be
as safe as in the United States or Canada.

DISCRIMINATING TARIFF ABANDONED
YEARS AGO.

2. It has been proposed to establish discrni'
mating tariff duty in favor Of goods imported IN
American ships-that is to say, to impose higAsT
duties upon goods imported in foreign ships thar
are imposed on goods imported in American ships
We tried that once, many years ago, and have
abandoned it. In its place we have entered into
treaties of commerce and navigation with TIE
principal countries of the world, expressly agree
ing that no such discrimination shall be mace
between their vessels and ours. To sweep away
all those treaties and enter upon war Of con-
mercial retaliation and reprisal for the sake Of
accomplishing indirectly what can be done d.
rectly should not be seriously considered

who would sell goods in South America must have
seine means Of knowledge upon this subject. This
leads naturally to the next observation have to
make.
l. The establishment of banks should be
brought about The Americans already engaged
in South American trade could well afford to
subscribe the capital and establish an American
bank in each of the principal cities of South
America.
This is first, because nothing but very bad
management could prevent such bank from
making money; capital is much needed IN those
cities, and 8, g and 10 per cent an be obtained
for money upon just as safe security as can he
had in Kansas City, St. Louis or New York. 1t
is also because the American bank would furnish
a source of information to the standing OF the
South American purchasers to whom credit may
be extended. and because American banks would
relieve American business in South America from
the disadvantage which now exists of making all
its financial transactions through Europe instead
Of directly with the United States. 1t is unfortu-
nately true that among hundreds of thousands Of
possible customers the United States now stands
in position Of assumed financial and business
feriorty to the countries through whose bank
ing houses all its business has to be done.
s. The American merchant should acquire MINI
self, if he has not already done so, and shoud i'm
press upon all his agents hat respect for the
South American to which he is justly entitled and
which is the essential requisite to respect from
the South American. We are different in many
respects in character and methods. In dealing
with all foreign people it is important to avoid
the narrow and uninstructed prejudice which as
sumes that difference from urselves denotes IN
feriorty. Their is nothing that resent 80
quickly as an assumption of superiority evil
dence of condescension in foreigners; there is
nothing that tn South Americans resent so
quickly

GeC q lU-CeuI DON uOM,
Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The con
dItion is perfectly natural 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles
SO all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The boy
els must be kept active. This is i'm.
rortant at all ages, but never so much
as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh phys
les. Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bow
els of the old need is a gentle and
natural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The on
ly such tonic is Cascarets, and they
cost only 10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you sleep.
