from her it I 1 s very hard lor for a D Democrat lo newspaper to admit the ilia reasons why such buch a state of oc affairs as tho the foregoing exist but it la 14 easily explained in business men seldom get x K hat they do not work for we have never worked intelligently for the south american trade great britain lias has and th result Is 19 great gramt britain has it but when we look over what bat great britain has done and tho the proposition Is 1 made to imitate her ter ecamp example lc then all such cuch papers as the now york world tied down to the mummies of tome some idols idol which were created in this country years yeara ago oppose the only sensible course to chango change things for fop instance in answer to the first question of 0 tile world wo we would say bay that as aa ion long ago as forty alia years yeara regular ing steamers rani between liverpool and buenos aarm those steamers wore were subsidized by tile tho british government so largely as to insure their malting making regular trips month sitter ater month and year after year and because ot of tho the gub subsidies sidles they were able to carry goods more cheaply than they otherwise would have been at that time english merchants established themselves in rio As A soon after as it was practicable ti cable cables were stretched under tho the sea so 0 that the english merchant in rio could cable for any ally needed thing thine and promise with certainty that it would be delivered v n tillin a certain ra number of 0 days before the trado trade was built up tho the american government has refused to do tiny any of these cheso things lings ti so havia lav american merchants then the main r ruling population ot of argentine argentina Is composed ot of natives of 0 great britain arid and germany and their descend descendants antiL they have mado mada their impress on th that U country when they think of 0 anything foreign they think of oc europe and not ot of tile united states stales when they have anything to buy they buy it where iii here they can get the best accommodations accommodate ions and w when hen they have anything an thing to sell bell they naturally look to the tha country where they owe their bills and up to this day it if we understand it rightly it an american merchant wants to blila goods from new york to argentine and wants them to go quickly ho he has haa to first ship them across the atlantic antio sri in an english ship and then from england ship them to argentine in another english ship the barnuy reply answers tile second question ot of the world england

with its second cargo to liverpool the owners of 0 another english ship buy a load of american cotton and anchor it lit in liverpool harbor to pay tor for that cotton the sugar and coff coffee from brazil with the two ocean freights added are exchanged and the ship that carrica over tho the cotton brings to our country the corteo correa and sugar and that aliat work liaa has been going on steadily thirty years since the war closed our statesmen have watched it arid and sold said it our shippers only had the right to buy vessels dullere they pl pleated embed all that would stop As long as aa they adhere to an idiotic idea of 0 that kind england will continue to buy brazilian goods and sell them to Ameri americans cams malco her commissions aft and get three ocean freights the world thinks that this unsatisfactory condl condition tion ot of affairs Is due to bad polities politics and bad business methods method and that when we get wholly iii holly beyond tile the idea that the

iti that we take care of 0 tho the homo home maibet and the foreign market too wo we do not believe lieve the democh we party will in ill ever be able to legislate intelligently in regard to american shipping chipping because ahila lit 11 Is 1 willing milling to indorse En glands trea free trade policy and her financial policy the moment the proposition la Is made to imitate her he ht r handling ot of her ocean corn commerce then the whole party rises up mid and d denounces bounces the business as an attempt to rob the many in order to enrich the few arid and it seems impose ble for the party to outgrow that utter foolishness |
