This disadvan- tagoe will continue so long as we do not have our own vessels for the transporta- tion of our own products, even though we should be able to undersell the foreign competitors. Mr. Love states that of the fourteen lines of ships handling the trade of Central Amevien only one sails under the flag of the United States. It is probably only a question of time when reciprocity arrangements will be effected with the republies of Central America, and when this is accomphished it may prove an incentive to the es lishment of American transportation lines. The people of those southern countries, whose wrade is worth an ef- fort to secure, are ans to be on closer commercial relations with the United States, and according to Consul Love they are prepared to enter into any fair and equitable arrangement this country may propose.

England has enjoyed several years of more than ordinary prosperity Her manufacturing in- dustries have been making money, her commercial enterprises have been profit- able, her transportation interests have paid good returns. There has been a steady and large accumulation of capital which, being in excess of the demands and opnortunities for home investment, has found employment in various parts of the world, a considerable amount having come to the United States. Per- haps if her prosperity had been less generous the outlook would not now be quite as threatening as reported, for amuch less amount of capital would have gone to aid such wild and ceckless finaneial schemes as those in Argentine, which drove the great hanking house of the Barings to the vorge of hankruptey. The shock of that event the financial system of England his not re from, and it1s doubtless to alv sible for the existing condi tion of affairs than any otheronecircum- stance. It created a desp sonse of dis- trust that must have had a damaging effect on enterprise. Another cited in explanation of the growing trade depression in Bagland is the nhos- tile tarifls, which on every side are re- ducing the wmarkets for the manufac tured products of that country, our own tavifl playing u lavger part in this diree- tion than that of any other nation, Ad- vices from France report that a numbor of industries in that country are also depressed, and the cause of this is charged divectly to the opsration of the American tariff. Some of the rench manufacturers whose business has mu torinlly decreased allege this cause with a good deal of aspority. It is an obvious anoral pro- position that the permanent prosperity of thy nation doing business with the world at large depends upon all the na- tions boing Bit in tho present somewhat excaptional circum stances the immediate prosperity of this country is assured regavdless of what may happon to the industries of Burope. Our surplus products will cortainly find a murket there, whatever the measuve of economy that muy be foread upon tho people by reason of inadequato employ- ment and reduced earaings, and they will bo taken av pricos that will be profitable to our producers. It has been a question as to what extent Europe would be able or disposed to pay for our products in cash, and this is suggested with rather morve force by the reported prevailing conditions, but it is interesting to ob- sorve that thus far theve is no disposi- tion to return American securities, thoy being, on the contrary, the only securi- ties sought after. It is possible that later on & change may come in this par ticular, and it is not improbable that Europoans may force their products upon the American market in exchange for our products; but, in any event, we should be the There is still another consideration, and thut is the probability that a large COMMERCLA SION 3BROAD. gree respon cause v sound g Prosparous, tivation of | this direction is being made, the statis- | | pression abrond | THE tof capital employed in Eurovean manufacturing industries will be ferrod to the United States.

It was constructed in 1888, In 1889-00 $169.07 was expended for cleaning it. In 1890-91 the cicaning cost $338.55 Most people will think the cost in 1889-00 was excessive, but that of the next twelve months was throe times as groat.

Love of Fromont, consul vador, is spending a short vacation in this country. Ho paid a passing call to Omahia a fow days ago when he accorded an interview to a reporter for Tie Bre. Mr, Love is in excols lent health aud full of thoe enorgy and intelli gence which make not only successful busi ness men, but givo to the United Stetes broud, palustaking and pat repro sentat Mr. Love has made a study of the Central American republics, especially with recard to the trade relations which exist between them and the United States, This connection he knows can and ought to be extended and strengtbened, and formed the suvject of a most interesting conversa tion of whieh, however, only an outline is herewith presented. All the ports, he said, on the Pacific coast were open to foreign comme Inland commerce was somewhat contracted, because there was in all but 400 miles of railror which were owned by the governmer.ts aad operated by them or undor lease. Asa e nearly all tho transportation was cither by two-wicolea ox-carts, on pack mules, oron_the heads of m Tliis was matter which the American shipper should understand and be guided by in the matter of making shipments to thoso countries. Heretofore, they had exporienced a number of drawbacks, because of the size of the puckages in which thoy mado up theic exports. Experience had taught them that a bundle of goods for those countries, to be handled casily, should notexceed 150 pounds in weight. 'All the big machinery to be used in mining and in the cultivation of sugar and rico and all electric plunts for the interior went there piccemenl, in varts weighing at the utmost 1ot more than 500 pounds. What This Country Furnishes. he United States furnished at least 75 vor ceat of the equipment, and rolling stock used on all the railrouds. Baldwin engines wero used there on all tho roads. T'he latter in tho main wern narrow gauge. The majority of the rails were made inthe United States,” though some of them came from England. Mr. Love said that a great drawback which our people suffered from was tho fact thatour hardviare did not reach those ropub. lics. It was wanted there. Thoreason it did not find entry was because of the freight rates. ‘Phere were few United States ships, and the freight was less from Europe than from Now York. Ships could ve loaded at Antwerp, Belgium, or in England, with nails, bar iron, sheet iron or barbed wire fencing, which could be bought at the same price as in New York, but which, notwitistandug the great aifference in the distance in favor of the United States, could bo delivered th at less oxpouse to ' the consumer. Theso vessels returned to their own countries laden with coffee, sugar, dye and fancy woods. Ot the fourteen lines of ships handling the trade of Central and Soutn America, only ono carried or sailed under tho stars and stripes. 'T'his told the story. Bugland and Germany, and by was understond there Belgium, Sweden and other countries, wore manufact: uring articles of various kinds and standard reputation in this country and labeling them with American branas. Mr. Love know of many cases of this iafringement. The woods were wenerally of an inferior char Ho had seen so brandea Colt's re- volvers, Smith & Wesson rovolvers, Florida water and a number of other goods. Proof of this deception was now being taken with a view to seeing whother or not it could be prevented. Peopie Who Go There. Mr. Lovestated that in Central Amer ho did not believe there wus one native nor citizen of the United States in every four iming our protection. ‘The majority were from forcign countries. There were many Germans and Jews. They were good business men, and were prosperous. In many of tho cities, however, there wero people who bad loft tnis country for their own protection or who had gono thither simply to make monoy and return whence they had come. Those made poor citizens, They were bad representatives of the United States. - Business men, oven with little means, but honest and energetic, would be appreciated by citizens and officials and would make n financial success.
