How to (let Trade).
(Wilmington Htar.)
According to the New York Jour
nal or Commerce, the trade exploit
er of Great Britain, Oermany, Bel-
gium and other countries of Kurope
have shown us how to let trade when
there Is any to be had. They simply
found trade territory and cultivated
It. They banked on possibilities by
financing them, thn making the r'
latlons of patron and manufacturer
and dealer mutual and co-operative,
To make th meaning mora pacific,
w auote her In part an editorial
from New York'i great commercial
newspaper:
"forlgn producer who In the
past have taken so strong a hold on
th Sooth A merles a markets hav
been able to do lo beoauee they hay
followed th plan of financing th
trad aa they developed tt. It wa
Knailah and German capital that ex.
tended the coffee and rubber busi
ness in South America, built-the. new
railway lines and generally provided
the inhabitant with what they need
ed In ordor to embark upon enter
prise, and thus to hennm buyers of
foreign goods. The hold no obtained
by competitive' manufacturer else
where haa never been broken by our
shipper n ny large or material d
re heretofore, and probably could
r.ot hav been broken, for a great
while at least except through the ap
plication of similar methods by
Amrlrn producers. Ther I no
reason to doubt that, when peace
hell hav been gnrally restored
and when there ahull have been a suf
ficient recovery In capital o warrant
th rturn to old method, th Ameri
can manufacturer will find hltnaelf
confronted by vry much the soma
obstacle that hindered the expan
sion of hi hii1ns In' former year
"Thils far dnmHtlc proditers have

for th wood which were oaly a llttl

made stint and were going to play
at hunting.
At the edg- ,, h wood they saw

All th mtulrirl would com hn

and they were never disappointed for

nuts which they cracked with their

The boy thought that waa fun to
see them do that and asked If he
thought th squlrrela would ema to

boys some nut and they called and

Just what 1o do. The boys kept on
