MARIPOSEO COMERCIAL

rente la Importation y la otra d Ia
exportaci6n, nos da el siguieute resul-
tado: valor de las mercancias ibero-
americanas introducidas por las Adua-
mas espanolas, 170.397 ,628 pesetas; va
! r de los productos espanoles enviados
a todos los referidos paises, 1875. .663 GIT
De suerte que la balanza mercantil con
los mismos nos es favorable en 35 mi
Homes y pico de pesetas.
Todo 10 contrario sc observa en- ell
comercio de Espana con las demas Re
p1blicas que no son de origen ibero
pues su Importation Sc valor6 en- 176.-
|58O,93 pesetas, mientras que el valor
de todas las mercanc1as que Espai1a
les remiti6 no pas0 de 75072, ,167, es de-
cir, que con estos pa1ses nos es contra
ria la balanza de comercio en- unos 100
millones de pesetas.
La explicaci6n de este 1ltimo Sc en-
cuentra facilmente, con solo recor-
dar que ell valor de una partida NADIA
mas de la importation norteamericana
pasa va de la referida cantidad de 100
millones; no hay que decir que esta es
lei algod6n en- rama, la cual hay que
agregar otra porci6n de millones del
jtabaco, petr6leo y maderas y duelas
que son los cuatro art1culos que desc
quilibran profundamente nuestro CO.
mercio con la gran Rep1blica norteame-
ficana y que 10 desequilibraran duran
te mucho tempo. En- mucha menor
escala tambi6n hay diferencia notable
con ell Canada, por mas que no esta es-
pecifcada, pues la Importation es cua-
tro veces mayor que la exportaci6n.
Confesemos, no obstante, para hablar
con mas exactitud y propiedad, que e]
cOmercio con los Estados Unidos es ma
yOr del que decimos, pues en- 6l no Sc
incluye ell comercio con Puerto Rico
que hoy forma parte de dichos Estados
lpero que Sc da por separado y en- de-
ltalle, porque todav1a no ha desapare-
cido de nuestra estadlstica general e]
comercio especial con la mencionada
Iisla, sino que contin1a en- la misma
forma que cuando era provincial espa-
lnola. >,...
Habr1a, por consiguiente, que agre-
gar al comercio con los Estados Uni
dos los 7854,900 pesetas en- que valo-
| 70 su Importation y los 2.502,669 en-
que Sc apreciaron arancelariamente los
art1culos enviados por Espana a la pc
quena antilla que en- junto dan la SUI
ma de 10.357 ,596 pesetas. " :.
Ell comentario mas saliente que po-
dr1a hacerse del precioso y documen-
tado trabajo que dejamos transcrito
ser1a haci6ndolo nuestro; pues parece-
nos muy mucho para ell casi insignif-
cante puesto que desempehamos en- e]
lecon6mico ycomercial periodismo, en-

ra y transcendencia
Lo unico que deseamos es, que su

dos, y que lleguemos, por medic de los
lposibles medios a nuestro alcance, q

7 como confirmation de que, 10 que
hemos de continuar transcribiendo del
notable trabajo de la gran Revlsta ole
Barcelona, ha de resultar de mayor I'M
portancia para ell comercio importador
de America, seg1n dejamos anunciado
aver, coRtinuamos dandole preferencia
al sobresaliente texto del referido Jul
clio, sobre ell balance comercial hispa-
no-americano
He aqu1 por que esta es la OCCASION
mas oportuna para conquistar y aian-
Ear los mercadOs americanos, y por que
decimos que ahora Sc puede dar un
grand1simo impulse nuestro trafco
con America aumentarlo en- una pro-
porci0n mucho mayor que la que Sc ha
notado estos 1ltimos amos, con todo y
haber sido 6sta muy considerable
Que es muy notable ell aumento q. ha
tenido nuestro, trafico con America, Sc
puede probar facilmente con n1meros
extractadoS de las estad1sticas ofciales
q. sc refieren al 1ltimo trienio. Ell volu-
men total del intercambio hispanoame-
ricano en- 1911 alcanz6 la cifra de
459.682, ,586 pesetas, que subi6 en- ell ailo
siguiente a 534.2O7, ,872, con nuevo y
considerable aumento en- 1913, puesto
que lego a 617.625, ,225 pesetas; de
suerte que solo en- dos amos ell creci-
miento de nuestro comercio fu6 de 159
millones.
Convene recordar que dos tres
amos antes hac1amos votos para que en-
un periodic breve doblaramos los 500
mlllones para poder decir que por 10
menos la cuarta parte de nuestro CO.
mercio exterior Sc realizaba con Anne
rlca. Ell avance Sc esta realizando con
mucha mas rapidez de 10 que imagina-
bamos y ESQ que de clio estabamos in
timamente convencidos porque segui-
mos paso a paso la orientaci6n de
nuestro comercio en- su relaci6n con
los pueblos americanos, y 10 alentamos
y estlmulamos con frecuencia.
Por ESQ mismo no nos extranarfa aun
dada la situaci6n crftica y anormal por-
que atraviesa Ell comercio internacio-
nal, que antes de dos anos doblemos el
mlllar de millones de pesetas en- nues-
tro trafico con America. As1 parece in
dlcarlo ell grande y poderoso movi-
mlento que Sc inicia y 10 que puede
presumirse de las circunstancias act1a-
les.
Con estos precedentes vamos a en-
tretenernos ahora en- ir descomponien-
do la slma total del comercio hispano-
americana en- grandes grupos para des-
Gender mas tarde al detalle del mismo.
La primera gran division que anual-
mente acostumbramos hacer, es la del
comerclo que tenemos con todas las
Republicas iberoamericanas, incluyen-
do como es consiguiente, al Brasil, ell
que sostenemos con los Estados Unidos
y los demas Estados que no son nj Sc
conslderan como de origen espanol.
Aun cuando a muchos Sc les antoia-
ra raro, y hasta cierto punto, inverosi-
mil, es indudable que ell comercio ibe-
roamerlcano supera pr6ximamente en-
un tercio al que Espa6a tiene con los
otros paises americanos incluso los Es-
tados Unidos; pues aqu6l asciende &
36o.952,l55 pesetas y este no pasa de
251.663,O70.

WANTED TO GET 1T RIGHT
Waiter Was UP Against an Order
Which Was Decidedly New
Ono to Him.

Once a short little woman and her
tall husband went to a cafe of the
cheaper sort for dinner.
"Will you have oysters?" asked the
husband, glancing over the bill of fare.
Yes" said the little woman, as she
tried in vain to touch her feet to the
floor. "and. Henry, want hassock." :"
Henry nodded, and as he handed his
order to the waiter. said: Yes, and
bring the lady hassock.'
"One hassock?" asked the waiter.
with what Henry thought more than
ordinary interest. as he nodded in the
affirmative. Still the waiter did not
go. but brushed the tablecloth with
a towel and rearranged the articles
on 1t several times, while his face got
very red.
Then he came around to the hus-
bands side. and, speaking in whis-
per, said: Say, mister. / haven't been
here long, and I'm not on to all these
things. VIII the lady have the has

CLAIM PROOF OF PLOT
ALLEGES MINE WORKERS eALk
RECRUITING EFFORTS.
Militia Court Of Inquiry Charges Plan
to "Swap" indictments to
Free Labor Men.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-Members of Court of In
qutry appointed by Governor Carlson
at the request Of several militia Off
GERS, against whom charges have been
brought recently. made a partial re-
port to the chief executive, in which
they allege having in their possession
evidence to show a general conspiracy
to prevent the reorganization of the
state militia.
They particularly mentioned having
indisputable proof that the United
Mine Workers of America had secured
detective agency to spy upon the
movements of the recruiting officers;
that the Mine Workers and detective
agency were working with certain pub
lie officials to prevent the reorganiza-
ton of the militia
1t was further claimed that their
evidence included certain correspond
ence, upon which was based their
knowledge of a plot to secure the in
dictment of public officials and mill
tiamen, for the purpose Of trading
upon such indictments for the benefit
of certain people involved and under
indictment in the so-called strike"
cases.
One of the letters the Court of In
quiry claims to possess, they say, dis
closes the fact that the text of the
recent decision Of the State Supreme
Court. barring Judge CRANKY Hillyer
of the Third district from further par
ticipation in strike cases growing out
of the Colorado coal strike, was sent
to the Washington office of the de-
tective agency on Aug o-althouoh
the decision was not handed down un-
til Aug. 16.
The Court of Inquiry appointed by
the governor consists of Lieut.. Col E.
]. Boughton, Maj. H. j. Hersey and
Capt. Henry M. Pingree.

Miners Fall to Death at slIverton.

Silverton.-While striving to rescue
a mucker employed in the mine, John
Vickburg and Oscar Davis, miners at
the Domingo tunnel, nine miles from
Silverton, fell IT'S feet to death at the
bottom of the shaft. The mucker,
named Mcconnell, had been overcome
by gas and the men went into the
900-foot level after him. Unable to
revive him, Davis carried him to the
200-foot level, where he was forced
to leave him while he went to an air
pipe, as the gas was beginning to suf-
focate him. He went to the first level,
supported by Vickburg. At the edge
of the shaft he collapsed and Wick
burg. attempting to keep him from
falling, lost his hold. Both men fell
to the bottom. Mcconnell later re-
vived and made his way to the sur
face.

Bar. Betting at Race Meets.

Denver.-If fall race meeting is
held at Overland park this year it will
be minus the pari mutuel machines
and divorced from betting in any
form. Any attempt to conduct betting
at Denver meet or at races in any
other town of the state will be met
with opposition from Governor Carl
