South American Trade That Is Lost To Us
A 1900s style analysis shows the US shares of South American trade eight months into the fiscal year. Venezuela leads imports from the US at 36 percent, with Colombia 34 percent and Ecuador 26. Argentina buys heavily from Britain and Germany, while the US captures about 22 percent of South American exports. The piece argues for a tariff entente with Latin American republics and renewal of reciprocity treaties McKinley negotiated to reverse the open-door policy bias toward Europe. It criticizes stand-pat Republicans opposing tariff relief for San Francisco rebuilding and urges broader tariff revision to aid US manufacturers and exporters.
