BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, What They Represent—Statistical In- formation of the Various South American Countries Representod —Pen Pictures of the Delegates. Object of the Congress. The first active movewent toward a pan- American congress was made when Simon Bolwar, the “Washington of South Amer- 108, after expelling the Spanish troops from Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, feel- g the weakness of bis position made the suggestion. It came to nothing, however, but the project was revived in 1851 by James G. Blamme when the death of President Arthur and complications with Peru and Chili agam interfered. 1% was finaily put in shape under Cleveland and invitations were issued to eighteen governments, only oue of which, San Domingo, declined. The objects of the congress may be gathered from a resume of the law by which it was wuthorized, Tts proposals are #s follows: 1. Measures that shall tend to preserve the peace and promoto the prosperity of the sey- eral American states. 2. Measures toward ihe formation of an American Customs union, under which the trade of the American nations with each other shall, so far as possible and profitable, be promoted. The establishment of regular and fre- quent communication between the ports of the several American states and the ports of cach other. 4. The establishment of a uniform system of customs regulations in each of the inde- pendoent American states to govern the mode of importation and exportation of merchun- dise and port. dues and charges, a uniform method of determiniug the classification and valuation of such merchandise in the ports of ©ach country, and a uniform system of in- voices and the subject of the sanitation of ships and quarantine, 5. The adoption of aumform system of weights and measures and laws to protect the patent rights, copyrights, and trade marks of the citizens of either couutry {n‘v.lne other, and for the extradition of erim- nals, 6. The adoption of a common silver coin to be issued by each government, thy same to be a legal tender in all commercial transuc- tious between the citizens of all the Ameri- can stat 7. An agreement upon and recommenda- tion for adoption to their respective govern- ments of a definite plan of arbitration of all questions, disputes and differences thut may now or hereafter exist between them, to the end that all difficulties and disputes between such nations may be peaceably settled and wars prevented. 8.

Of the Countries With -Which the United States Secks Trade, Mexico has an area of 163,804 square miles and a population of 10,000,000, of which 5,000,000 are Indians, 8,000,000 half-caste In- dian and white, 1,500,000 whites of pure Spanish, descent, 150,000 of European and American birth, and 60,000 negroes and Indo- Adfrican hybrids. The City of Mexico has & population of about 250,000, Thereare about 5,000 miles of railway and 20,000 miles of telo- graph. Industry is in a backward condition, but the natural wealth is too great to calcu- late. From 1821 to 1830 Mexico exported $050,000,000 of gold and silver, and in recent times more than one-half of the silver pro- duced has come from Mexico. In Durango, one of the central provinces, there is a solid mountain of magnetic iron ore. Platinum and petroleum are recent discoveries, while old and silver are practically inexbaustivle. In 1887 we sold the Mexicans goods valued at $7,207,1° 2,188, against pur- chiases from them in 1557 of 14,719,840, and in 1888, $17,520,850.

The Fatagonian district is sterile. "The climate varies. It is diviged mto fo teen provinces, united in a federal govern- went constituted like our own. There are over 6,000 wiles of railroads and extensive telegraph lines, The government has re- cently subsidized two lines of steamships for European trade.

A sugar refinery has recently been started with a government guarantes of 7 per cent for fifteen years. In 183 §3,500,000 were spent on schiools, about one dollar ' for each inhabitant. n the year 1585 the Argenti Republic imported from Eurove goods worth #80,609,150, from the United States $11,004,- 554, whilo she exported to Kurops $64,903, 640, aud to the Uuited States £,938,808, Hruzll covers an area of 8,200,000 aud a population of 14,000,000 and is the only mon- unn on the American coutinent, Brazil 000 miles of railway aud 8,000 miles of uloq h. The goverament owns the lines. OF lato yoars Brasi lias boome very attract- ive to immigrants, 1a 1838 she received 140,- 000, most of whom were Italians. She sends us about #60,000,000 worth of merchandise annually, which we pay for with 810,000,000 worth of merchandise and $50,000,000'0f for- eign exchauge. The country is full of coal, iron, gold and lead, while coffee sugar cane, fruit, spices are the principal agricultural products. Coffee was broughit o Hrazil in 1722, Brazil now ranks fourth among whe coffee-producing countries. There are many valuable woods, 117 species being cut within an arca of one-half mile square. The govern- ment is an empire in form, but practicall, publican. There is no hereditary aristoci . In 1871 @ law was passed providing that ever, child thereafter born in Brazil of sluve rents should be free. The same law provid an annual fund for the purchase and manu- mission of slaves.

OUR SISTERS 0N THE SOUTH Their Relations to the Greatest of the Republics. WHAT THE CONGRESS MEANS Comments From Leading Newspa- pers All Over the Country on the Visit of the Pan-American Delegates. From a Mugwamp Standpoint, Baltimore Herald, The present conference was never intended tobe anything but & meeting of goneral amity, looking to closer trado relations be- tween the countries of the New World, and nobody knows it better than the critics who assume to discover somo marvelous show of Bismarckian statecraft in the entertainment of a few representatives frowm foreign coun- tries, No Military Here. St. Paul Globe, Some of those South American delegates that are swinging around this way are re- ported to express great surprise that th ey nowhere see any military force. They are learning that the American citizen doesn’t require a loaded musket on every corner to make him behave. One of them is credited with the statement that in his country about every tenth man wears a uniform, How England Beats Us. New York Herald, The commerce to the states to the south of us reaches a yearly value of a thousand mil- Yion dollars, about equally divided between exports aud imports, Last year our imports from these countries amounted to » hundred and eighty-one million doliars and our ex- ports 1o them sixty-one millior.s. England’s imports were sixty-one millions und her ex- ports a hundred and sixteen millions, A Good Suggestion. St, Louls Globe-Demacrat, General Henderson's suggestion that one of our war ships be loaded with the products of the nation aud sent to South America for advertising purposes is a timely and practi- cal ono. Such a project would show the peo- ple of that part of the worid just what we nave to seil, what our prices are, and how much is to be gained by trading with us in preference t European countries. Calls It a "8 New York Times, Indeed, 1t looks now as if the All-American coungress might resolve itself 1to something very like an All-American subsidy hunt; aud, while its action 1n this direction may be very interesting, we think it safe to predict that it will not be successful, Why They D¢ Buy of Us. Philatelphla Record, The people of the United States buy the sugar, coffee, hides and other products of South America because they need them, The people of South America do not buy the manufactures of this country because the cost 18 80 much enhanced by the tariff that they can trade to more advantage with other countries, The Ubject of the Visl', Chicago Inter-Ocean, ‘Phe chief aim of this extraordinary move- ment is the prowmotion of closer and more in- timate relations in sentiment and trade with the nations represented by the guests thus entertained, which object is expected to be promoted through more adequate knowledge of the condiioa and cuaracter of our people and country, W be obtaiued only through per- *conquest and oppression. al examination, as permitted by the visit 10w in progress. A Way Will Be Found, Cleveland Plain-Dealer. The representatives of the countries to the south want to increase their trade with us if it can profitably bo doue. Our people have the same aini. There are differences of opinion as to the best way of accomplishing the common purpose us there are on almost every subject, but when all are sincerein the desire to come 10 & practical understanding there ought to be, and probably will be, u way found. L, The Praper Keply. Pittstrg Dispatch. After the tour of the country and the seri- ous work of the congress have been con- cluded and the delegates have returned home, then will come the time for congress and the citizens of the United States, the one by liberal encouragement of the marine interests and the other by pushing trade en- ergetically into the new fieids, to fling back asolid reply to the jeers and sncers of Europe. Objects to Subsidizing Steamships. Kansas City Times, The talk of promoting the trade between the United States and the South and Centr American states by subsidizing a line of steamships 18 little less than idiotic, Huild up the trade and there will be no trouble in wetting ships to carry it. But you might as well talk about erowing wheat in the great Sahara by building a railroad through it as to propose to build up a trade with South America by paying ships to bring her products to the United States when the United States taxes them to keep them out. Applanded i Two Continents. Cinetnnati Commereial Gazelte, President Harrison and Secretary Blaine bave been in full accord in this important mutter. Nothing could have been happier than the election of Mr. Blaino to be the presidentof this congress, and his memora- ble inaugural address has not_only received the approbation but the admiration of en- lightened people throughout the werld. It was telegraphed in full to Burope and South America, and the echo of applause has re- turned from both continents. Columbia's Sister Republics. St. Louls Poxt-Dispateh, The people of the Central and South Amor- ican states have nover received anything from Europe except armies and attempts ut From the United States they have obtained their spirit of lib- erty, progressiveideas and productive inven- tions. Tueir natural friends and commer- cial allies aro the people of the United States, and the sooner they recognize this fact the better it will be for them, The trip of the Pan-American delegates over this country can not fail to bring excellont re sults in this direction, A Warm Tribute to Blaine, Washington Press, When the events of which this conference fs the precursor shall have become accom plished facts; when all the indepandent nations of North, Central and South America shall have become kit together in bonds of reciprocal amity; when the greatness and prosperity that nay justly be expected to re- sult to each and all from mutual helpfuiness shall have won the admiration of the old world—then, aud for centuries thereafter, the name of James (. Blaio will b & house: hold word in every American home, John Bull's Alarm, Detroit Free Press, The agitation shown by the foreign—es. pecially the English—press in discussing the congress of the Americas gives more than a hint of the iwportance which is there at- tached to the South American trade and the alarm that is felt even at the barest hiont of its diversion to this country, where it be- longs. If the United States were only able to offer free markets to the South Amerigan powers Englanda might whistle for the tradei but as long as we invite strangers to_ ou table und” charge them for meal tickels wo shall be short of guests. Wants krec Trade Moen. Louwisville Courier-Journal, g Under better auspices the congress of the three Americas might do much to promote more intimate and mutually profitable trade relations among the nations of tho western continent. To do this, however, its member- ship should consist of 'people who believe' in commerco as mutually beneficial to both the parties interestod aud not merely to the Unfortunutely, our country has no representative of that character. The ten Amoerican delegates are all protectionists, though four of them call themselves demo- Piorra and the Flag. New York Commercial Advertisor, ‘That was u very pretty sentiment proposed by Delegate Pierra at the banquet given in honor of the interuational congress in Cleve- tand, *Toa flag that hus no lyre, no eagle, no beast of prey, but with stars that en- lighten the horizon and illuminate the world, and which we hope soon to sce waving in all the Spamsh-American ports.” The senti- ment was greeted by “‘tremendous applause,’” and will be approved by all who live under the stars and stripes. It will not lessen the apprehensions entertained, on account of the congress, in I3uropean_countrics whose flags monopolize the Spanish-American ports. The Duty of the United States. New ¥ork Tribunc. It is tie duty of the United States, no less than its clear interest, to use the great power of its maturity to aid, as far as it honorably can, other struggling nations of the new world when they aro unjustly assailed. If a frank recognivion of a nution’s plain duty 18 an entangling alliance, then the nation wants allinuces of that sort without delay. A policy of isolation and total indifference 1o the affairs of other nations has served its part, i 1t ever had an honorable part, in the count try’s development, Now, at least, the int ests of the United States in overy mater and moral sense are to be promoted by closer relations of amity and mutual helpfulness with other nations on this coutinent, sherman and Re Detroit, Journa’. in his speech before the F Senator Sherman announced himself lke Felix to the ‘“‘almost persuaded” to be an American; that is almost in favor of the kind of free trade that would make the man and the party that adopted it one of the most re- nowned and successful since Lincoln's death, If the republicans do not take up this great and statesmanlike scheme, they may suds denly find some sugacious democrat inducing Lis own party to drop its abstract pronun= clawentos of general free trade and unfurl its banners for American freedom of trade from Alaska to Paraguay, now and forever, one and inseparable, Whichever party raises that standard will carry the country from one eud to the other. 1t will captivate the nation’s imagination as far as for & quarter of & century no question has done. — - Jdudicious Advertising of a meritorious article pays to acertain extent, The best advertisement, hows ever, is the article itself, If it has any merit it will recommend itself.
