V 9 v m r 0 THE MORNING POST .APRIL 2 1890. J i i n I SSS Rid GOODS IN SOUTH RMERIGK Opportunity for Enlarging a Good Field for Trade. t- Our Merchants and Manufacturers Fail to Keep Pace With European's ii the Competition for Business. TTashington, April 22 Special The el,l for American goods in South America, and the opportunity for its n'larsemont, is the subject of a letter ', Tt re vived by th Burau of 'Statis 3 . of the Treasury Department. It v!,;. out the popularity of American r-iod iind tnc fact t.nat American mer rhantj; and matiufacJfurers are not au parently making tie effort to extend hoir trade 'in South America that those f cvther countries are making. Imtports a Argentine 'Republic from Ger many increased from 8,05,000 pesos in a on- nrl i-r ICQ?- !tihnso f mm ISS'5 tO io,SVO,vru .--..jVv. j-aly increased from 4,647,000 pes'os an jSSi'to 11,395,000 in 1896; 'those from the United Kingdom, from 33,433,000 in 18S6 44,730,000 in 1S'J6, while tnose irom United States .which in 18S6 were 7 673,0-0 were m iyt n.-uu.wu out total importation in lbi or J.1-,- in value. An ex:amina- ' - - to the or ton -of 'ur own exPrt figures by coun ir:e chows that our exports to Argen .inV which in 1SS9 were $9,293,856, were InVs'-'S $6,429,070. The letter in question says: "A state ment in a periodical referring to the commerce of Argentlina in regard to the nianutaetures which Europe exploits exclusively for its own benefit, is wor tv -of consideration when it is clear that the United States 'for many rea ,.,,'ns should supply the South American merchants with its manufactures of a nualitv superior to the German, simi- jar to t'he ii-ngns'ii anu jj renca. uue advantage of the United States 53 the pos?esion of "the raw materials: cotton, Avrol. fte. Although it may not have c? in sufficient quantity, it can pro-1 euro that of other places, as Europe ha? done, in exchange for its merchan dise. , To rbtain satisfactory results, it is necessary that the North American manufacturers should put themselves in direci: contact, with competent per scr.s. who should be natives of. the country where they wish to plfnt their biiNinesN in order that the dealer may understand Vhe needs, tastes and cus toms cf the consumers and all neces sary modifications of which the trade may be suseeptilble; width, design," col or, etc.. in, which each country has its own customs and 'tastes, which vary, but do not change. "In this country preference is given t French fashions, hut Imitations from Tther sources are accepted. From Eng land some American textiles are lirnuzht for domestic use; pa.ck thread, lrmitn". satinets, canvas, and some oth ers 'which sell at a higher price than tho?ej''made by them (t'he English), the preference being given them by con noisseurs for the fineness cf the mate rial, evenness of the weave, an'd great er durability. "As all things hegin for something, the manufacturers of American goods, in order to make their wares known, could secure an establishment for gen eral merchandise- of their manufacture at wholesale and retah, sending a case of each article. The result of the sale and the quantity and price returned would serve the'm as 'a guide -for the df-velopment of future trade in that loea!'ty. "It i? well understood that the person AVho takes the lead will have the en trance into the provinces of Paraguay, Bolivia anl Chile, as they are united by the railroad which will pass across .the cnrdillcras of the Andes, which is already advanced and which in a few vears will be completed. . "The nationality of the person who should take the lead in this oface has io radical importance, since Europeans who represent the manufacturers o.f their respective countries manage to promote the interests which their con stituents have confided to them. "Connoisseurs estimate merchandise by its durability of color and texture and are displeased with fraudulent im itations, which proves the importance ef having an establishment for the pro motion of the trade in merchandise fmm a single point. Tho following table shows the ex ports of merchandise from the United States to South .America in each year from 1S90 to 189S: . a straw. The postmaster, for his sake, tried to .shuffle over the name-and hur ry on to the next. "Hi!' said the father. "Wfta .what's that you said?" There -was nothing to do tout to face the issue, and the; postmaster repeated with a forced calmness ""Killed Snyder, Hiram." T'he boy's father stood up with a jerk. Then he sat down. Then he stood up again, staggered to the door, and fum bled for the latch like a blind man. "God help him!" said the postmaster, wiping his eyes with a red handker chief; "he's got to tell the 'old woman." The preacher preached a funeral' ser mon for the boy, and on- the little pyramid that marked the family lot, in the burying ground, they carved thc inscription: "Killed in honorable battle, Hiram Snyder aged nineteen." Not long afterward, strange, yellow, bearded men, in faded blue, began to arrive. Great welcomes; . were given them, and many a big gathering was held in their honor. At one such gath ering a ghost appeared, -a lank, Saffron ghor' ragged as a scarecrow, wearing the cape, of a cavalryman's overcoat, with no coat, beneath. The apparition was a-youth of about twenty, with 'a downy beard all over his face and acountenance well mel lowed with cdarsoot, as if he had rid den several days on top of a freight car near the engine. The ghost ' was Hiram Snyder. We forgave him 'the shock cif surprise he had caused us, all except the minis ter who had preached his funefal ser mon. Years al'tTward I heard the min ister remark in a solemn and aggrieved tone: "Hiram Snyder is a man who cannot be relied uoon." ' NOTICE OP REGISTRATION ELECTION. AND New Things IN MUINERV.

Washington Post. Our attention has just been, called to a ridiculous miattcr cf which we have long been cognizant, but which, in the pressure of more important things, we have not recently had time to think about. We refer to the matter of the naval officer's trousseau, and the utterly unnecessary expense de volved upon young men of narrow- means by the fan'tii't;:c and absurd eti quette of the service. Nobody has ever yet given a rational, or, at least, aft intelligible explanation of the enormous wardrobe which the naval officer has to provide, usually out of a very mea gre bank account. Juslt how many dif ferent uniforms he is required to pro vide we do not like to say. This is not a comiic newspaper, and we object to putting the Nav- Department in the range of ridicule and laughter. We no Know, However, that the average outfit, reduced to 'the smallest possi ble ' proportions, .costs the individual anywhere from $700 to $1,200. And this, 'it seems to us, is bringing nonsense to its finest point. Let us suppose, by way of illustra tion, that a young man without inde pendent means and boastnig only a fine character and a splendid professional equipment, receives his c.-'missicn in the navy the pay being $1,200 or $1, 500 per annum. He has no money, ex cepting perhaps a sma'Il amount saved by some loving mother or sister to give him a start in life: but at the very threshold of his career he is called upon to spend $700 or SS0O. half of his first gear's income, for a lot of clothing, three-fourths of which he does not want, m'ay never have to wear, and which, under and sensible and consid erate regulations, he would not need at all. It does; seem to us that this is a most ifoolish and tyrannical arrange ment, even regarded from the least critical point of view. We can see no reason why these young men should be compelled to buy two or three boxes of clothes for which they have no sort of use, the possession df which adds nothing t'o their usefulness, and with out which they would 'be quite as effi cient officials, to say nothing of their being in a much (more corr.Cortable po sition financially. 'Why cannot some one call a halt on thus preposterous nonsense? Why force the youngsters to begin life in debt, and to lead themselves down with a lot cf stupid and superfious proper ties? Aifter all. it is not cocked hats, gold lace, 'and tinsel paraphernalia that make a navy. Give us the ships ami the guns, and we can tackle t'he whole v-vvrjd in our pajamas.

It occurs on a block of alabaster taken from the pal ace o' Asurbanipal. The gardens, tri angular in form, rest on pillars made of huge blocks of stone. Access is by means of a path cut In the hill.
