TO bECURB FOREIGN TUVUK
Every observant traveler In Mexico and
South America has discovered how Knj
lish German and French trado has bean
fostered by observing peeularltles and
methods that obtain with the merchants
and tradesmen of theso countries Take
Mexico for example In that country
whose progress under the wIjc adminis-
tration of President Diaz has bten the
amazement of tho International family
joods are distributed from the trade cen-
ters to off railroad points by burro trains
liuh burro can carry so many pounds ot
freight theroforo tho Mexican wholesaler
wants his goods baled or packed to the
temulation burro capacity American mer-
chants for a long time Insisted on the
Mexican customer accepting goods shipped
in packages o their own designing with
tho resuT that so long as they thus In-
sisted more remote and less advantageous-
ly situated nations enjoyed a practical mo-
nopoly of this trade
Mr John T Williams United States
consul to Africa In a letter touching upon
tho opportunities for trade in American
textiles in Wcct Africa Indicates that
American manufacturers and merchants
are standing in their own way in that
direction as tboy once stood with reference
to tho trade of our sister republic Mr
Williams writes
With the growth of American trado In
competition with that of other nations our
manufacturers should pay moro attention to
making goods for export according to the re-
quirements of the trade sought Attention
given to these details together 11111 our ex-
tensive facilities for superior work will cit
able us to win
plants vines and even seashelis ire held in
great respect by tho natlvc having been
worshipped by their ancestors The present
generation docs not forget these traditions
though many aro educated and cojoy the
adrantages of civilization
It is by observing these points thnt the
European exporters have gained such footing
ln African trade No doubt in inntiy Inftnnios
tbelr goods aro ioferlor to our own In dura-
bility starch taking thc place of body jet
they sell becauso African and not Uuropean
Ideas aro respected in tbo design nnd manu-
facture of the Koods
Credit would not bo a great Inducement
except to European houses as the terms of
trado hero arc generally cash American goods
of all classes would havo a better show in
this market if thero wcro direct communica-
tion between the United States and this coast
Thero Is now a spirit of keen mcncantllo
rivalry among the nations seeking tills trade
but thero Is encouragement far American
dealers to competo if they will mnko tbe
mcessory efforts along tho lines suggested
Thero are no discriminating tariffs no re-
strictive legislation with which to contend
Asldo from tho 10 per cent ad valorem duty
this is practically an open field and with
moro energy on tho part of our exporters of
cotton goods their products can And a good
mnrket la West Africa
Hero is another opportunity of spread-
ing our commercial conquests In demon-
stration of tho wholosorao fact undisputed
by ony reputablo authority on eound
economics without standing armies and
imperialism
COMMCIICIAI EXPANSION
Ask the average business man who
stands for expansion as presented by tho
McKlnley administration why ho does go
and nine times out of ten his answer Is
Bodauso expansion will Incroaso out
export trado
In every commodity ot Amorlcnn man-
ufacture In which wo hnvo eujoyoj su
periority over the foreign manufacturer
ln quality and In the cost of production
foreign demand nnd foreign market have
followed and wil contlnuo to follow
without reference to expansion Of domain
by conquest or subjugation It has not
been very long since a German prltico
complained that thero was a power devel
oping In the United States of America
1 that menaced the wealth nnd progress pf
his country more seriously than could
European entanglements Thjat power is
represented in tho mnrycloua commercial
spirit of Americans that has for yoara
been carrying this republic forwnrd to the
j commercial conquest of tho world
