That part of South America between the isthmus and Buenos Ayres is largely a wilderness, and much of it not even explored. Much of it is a jungle, inhabited by wild men and wild beasts. Pestilential disease in some remote localities is be- lieved to be almost a bar to immigration of civil: ized man. Yet the manner in which the North American continent hag been subdued and our ex- perience in transforming the Canal Zone from a disease ridden region into a health resort justify confidence that the enterprise of the white race will work miracles in the vast expanse of the Ama- zon basin and the region drained by the rivers flowing into the Rio de la Plata.

That is not hog: gishness, it is civic and state pride and ‘business enterprise, Casper does not desire to injure any interest we have already, it simply wants more interests. It hopes to be big enough in such efforts to be fair to them all. To join Johnson and Sheridan counties and the Montana counties in securing a railroad connect- ing with the several trunk lines to the north of us in a step to bring not only an additional line of transportation to Casper, but to bring other interests that naturally follow in the wake of the building of a railroad. If certain industries find it more advantageous to go to Sheridan or Buffalo or Miles City, well and good. They will help de- velop those communities and the state of Wyoming or Montana. It all helps. But if new industries and new enterprises find Casper a desirable point at which to engage in business we are most certain to welcome them. The building of a new railroad into Casper is bound to create demand for all kinds of labor. Not only experienced railroad labor, but labor and help in various other lines depending upon railroad building. It will solve any question of unemploy- ment that exists and provide apportunity for many whose present employment is far any reason unsatisfactory. Railroad construction will afford, also, opportunity to engage in many small busi- nesses, that do not now exist, but will bloom and flourish with the activitiy of railroad building. The railroad itself will afford desirable employ- eventually connected with a main line joining the two continents . The resources of South America, particularly in rubber, coffee, tropical fruits, hard woods and probably minerals, are such as to make close com- mercial relations between North and South Amer- ica highly desirable and mutually profitable. We ean furnish the capital, the machinery, the man- agerial skill and the experience needed to develop their manufacturing industries, for which there is an abundance of water power. Many of their raw materials necessary for our use, cannot be pro- duced here. Even without any intercontinental rail connections we have built up and shall continue to increase trade relations with South America. With an unbroken railroad system extending from the southern portions of South America to the north- |ern limits of settlement in Canada, there would and freight communication which would increase the material wealth and the comfort of all the peo- ple of the western hemisphere. South America presents the next frontier, as Africa will present the last frontier. i 5 ae ee ae The Gratifying Increase TIE ICREASE of nearly twenty per cent in ex- ports since the new tariff law became opera- tive has not only confounded the enemies and op- | ponents of protection, but it has astounded its friends. Republicans felt confident that some in- crease would be recorded, but they did not dream: that such a remarkable showing would be made in so short a time. It was the stock argument of those opposed to the bill that it would seriously curtail the export trade, due principally to the fact, as they viewed it, that imports would be walled out and foreign nations would consequently stop buying so largely from Ameri Here is how the first four months of foreign ling puts that statement to blush : | Month— 1921-22 1922-23 October $ 348,000,000 $ B71,000,000 | November . 00,000 380,000,000 | December . 3,000,000 344,000,000 VONUATY sas sccesigsaees 279,000,000 339,000,000, Total Four Months ...$1,212,000,000 $1,434,000,000 This is a total increase in the brief space of one! third year of $222,000,000 in value, and since prices were not so high in the 1 period, it is evi- dent that the increase in quantity of exports was even more marked. At the present rate of in- crease there seems little reason now to doubt that our exports will reach $4,500,000,000 for the first 12 months of the new law, and with imports esti- mated at between three and three and a quarter! billions our favorable balance of trade will reach) somewhere between a billion and a quarter and a billion and a half of dollars. This seems certain notwithstanding the fact that the purchasing pow- er of Europe will be seriously curtailed by the situation in Germany and Austria and Russia, and economies instituted in other purchasing countries, added to which is the fact that the policy of tariff} protection has become well-night universal, Great) Britain herself, long the leader in free trade, hay- ing returned to the protective policy. It is reported that the Democrats are heart-sick over the situation. They had planned to begin an; aggressive campaign against the tariff as soon as congress had adjourned, to be kept up throughout the campaign of 1924. They had quite frankly ad-) mitted that the tariff would once more be their trump card in the presidential fight, and now they are discovering it .to be the deuce of an off suit. (They were positive that our export trade with Eu- rope would dwindle so rapidly that reaction) against the party in power would take place. The following table shows our export trade by grand} divisions for the last three months of 1922, com- pared with 1921, figures for January not yet avail- able: 4 |be provided that quicker means of both passenger’ | | Che Casper Daily Cribune for instance, were to be shipped to Chicago and it Mirelrev (AHimaelf) McGuire.

After supper he read the paper three times and went to bed. He crawled in between the sheets} and pulled the covers up around his) chin. This left his feet out. He sat up, pulled the covers back down over his feet, and lay back down again. ‘This left his neck, shoulders and up- per chest out, and the wind that was coming in the open window was bearing with {t the damp, chill fog from off the sea.

On the news stands in practically a!l of our cities can be seen their periodicals with glaring headlines that radiate maledictions against every institut!on of government and society. The class hatred that is engendered by these publications, the disloyalty to the government and tne seething discon- tent, are beyond all calculation. The business man ‘who sees these radical sheets, when he pauses to buy an eve- ning paper as he hurries homeward, does not accord to them a passing thought. Let him not make the mis- take of thinking that, because these venomous shafts of political Ishmael- ism do not touch him, they do not plerce and poison anybody else. They are read in various languages and im- Plicitly accepted by hundreds of thou-' sands—perhaps millions of people al- together. To get an idea of the kind of political pabulum that ts being fed to an element of laboring men, to the unemployed and, particularly, to the foreign born, it wou'd be well for the business and professional man and the steady, conservative working man occasionally to take home with them copy of one of these periodicals.
