WHAT THE CONGRESS MEANS
Comments From Ijonillnji Newspa
per 3 All Over the Country on the
Visit of the Pan-American
Delegate * ) .
From n Mugwump Standpoint.
lliUlmoxilleraltl.
The present con ferenco was novcr intended
to bo anything but a meeting of general
ninlty , looking to closer trade relations be
tween the countries of the Now World , and
nobody knows It better than the critics who
assume to discover some marvelous show of
Bismarciclan statecraft in the entertainment
of u few representatives from foreign coun
tries.
No Military Here.
SI. Hud atole.
Some of those South American delegates
that are swinging around this way are re
ported to express great surprise that th oy
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. Ono of them is credited
with the statement that in his country about
every ton th man wears a uniform.
Jiow ISnslnnd Beats Us.
Kcw'Yorlt lie i aid.
Tlio commerce to the states to the south of
us roaches a yearly value of n thousand mil
lion dollars , about equally divided between
exports and Imports. Last year our Imports
from these countries amounted to a hundred
ana eighty -one million dollars and our nx-
norts to them sixty-one millions , England's
Imports were sixty-one millions and her ex
ports a hundred and sixteen millions ,
A Good
. .SLoMla / aiolte-Dcmoernt ,
General Henderson's ' suggestion that ono
of our war ships bo loaded with the products
of the nation and sent to South America for
advertising purposes is a tlmoly and practi
cal ono. Such a project would show the people
ple of that part of the world Just what wo
have to sell , what our prices uro , und how
much Is to bo calncd by trading with us In
preference to European countries.
Calls It n "HnlHldy Hunt. "
Kcw York 'Stints.
Indeed , it looks now as If the All-Amoncan
congress might rcsolvo Itself into something
very like an All-American subsidy hunt ; ami ,
while its action in this direction may bo very
Interesting , wo think It safe to predict that
It will not bo successful.
\\\ty \ They Don't Buy uf Ifa.
The people o' the United States buy the
sugar , codec , hides and other products of
South America because they need them ,
The people of South America do not buy the
manufactures of this country became the
cost is so much enhanced by the tariff that
they can trade to more advantage with
other countries.
Tlio Object of thu VIsK
Chtwjo Jnter-OcMn.
The chief aim of tuls extraordinary move *
meat is the promotion 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 moro adequate knowledge
of the condition and cnaracler of our people
ana country , to be obtained only through per-
sonal examination , as permitted by the visit
now in progress.
A Way Will Ho Found.
Clcictnnd I'litn-Denltr.
The representatives of the countries to the
south want to increase their trade with us If
it can profitably bo done. Our people have
the sumo aim. There are differences of
opinion as to the best way of accomplishing
the common purpose us there are on almost
every subject , but when nil are sincere In the
desire to come lo a practical understanding
there ought to bo , and probably will be , a
way found.
The Proper Kcply.
I'UMntru Dttpatth.
After the tour of the country and the seri
ous work ol the congress have been con
cluded and the delegates have returned
liome.'thon will como the time for congress
and the citizens ot the United States , the
one by liberal encouragement of the marine
interests and the other by pushing trade en
ergetically into the now fields , to lllng back
a solid reply to the Jeers und sneers of
Europe.
Objects to Hnhsidl/.inic Htenmslilps.
Kansas Cltii Times.
The talk of promoting the trade between
the United States and the South and Control
American states by subsidizing a line of
steamships is little less than Idiotic. Build
up the trade and there will bo no trouble in
getting ships to curry it. But you might
as well talk about crowing wheat In the
great Sahara by building a railroad through
It as to propose to build up a trade with
bouth America by paying ships to bring
her products to the United States when the
United States taxes them to keep them out.
Applauded in Two Continents.
COicdmatt Commercial Oimlle.
President Harrison and Secretary Blalno
have been In full accord In this Important
mutter. Nothing coulu have been happier
than the election of Mr. Blalno to bo the
president of this congress , and hlt > motnora-
bln inaugural address has not only received
the approbation but the admiration of en-
llKtnenod people throughout tlio world. It
was telegraphed In full to Europe and South
America , and the echo of applause has re
turned from both continents.
Coliimhia'H HlHtcr Hcpiihllcs ,
Kt. A ute l'ut-9lri > nteli.
The pcoploof the Central and South Amer
ican states have never received anything
from Europe except armies and attempts at
conquest and oppression. From tbo United
States they have obtained their spirit of lib
erty , progressive Ideas and productive Inven
tions. Their natural friends and commer
cial allies are the people of the United
States , and the sooner they locognizo this
/act the better It will bo fur them , The trip
of the Pun-American delegates over this
country can not fall to bring excellent re
sults In this direction.

Under better auspices the congress of the
three Americas might do much to promote
more intimate and mutually prolltablo trndo
relations among the nations of thu western
continent. To do this , however , its member
ship should coiiMlst of people who believe'in
commerce as mutually bcncllclal to belli the
parties interested and not merely to the
sollor. Unfortunately , our country h.is 'no
representative of that character. The ten

That was a very pretty sentiment proposed
by Delegate 1'ierra at the banquet given in
honor of the international congress iu Cleve
land , 'To a Hag that ! KU no lyre , no eagle ,
no boast of prov , but wlttx Blurs that en
lighten the horizon and illuminate the world ,
and which we hope soon to see waving in all
the Spanish-American ports. " The senti
ment was greeted by "tremendousapplause , "
and will bo approved by all who live under
the stars and stripes. It wilt not lesson the
apprehensions entertained , on account of the
congress , in Euiopean countries whoso Hags
monopolize the Spanish-American ports.

It is the 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 now
world when they are unjustly assailed , If a
frank recognition of a nation's plain duty IB
an entangling alliance , then thu nation wants
alliances of that sort without delay. A policy
of isolation and total Indifference lo the
ulTalra of other nations has served its part ,
If it over had an honorable part , In the coun
try's ' development. Now , at least , the inter
ests of the United States In every material
and moral sense are to bo promoted by closer
relations of amity and mutual helpfulncbu
with other nations on this continent.
Sherman and Koclproolly.
/Mioil Jiniina' ,
In his bpccch before the Pan-Americans ,
Senator Sherman announced himself lllio
Felix to the "almost persuaded1' to be an
American ; that Is almost In favor of thu Hind
of free trade that would miiuo the nrin and ,
the party that adopted It onu of the most ru-
nowned and successful since Lincoln's death.
If the republicans do not take up this great
and statesmanlike scheme , they may sud
denly find some sagacious democrat Inducing
his own party to drop Us abstract pronun-
clumcntos of general free trade and unfurl
Its banners for American freedom of trndo
from Alaska to I'araguuy , now ana forever ,
one and Inseparable. Whichever pnrty
raises that standard will carry the country
from ono end to the other. It will captivate
the nation's Imagination as far as for a
quarter of a century no question 1ms done.
