(Copyright. 1908. by Frederlo J. Haakln.)
Kingston, Jamaica, July 31. The love
of-the American people for tropical
fruits mar some day result In Ameri
can supremacy in the Islands of the
West Indies. Already the ITnlted States
Is the principal buyer of their exports,
and gradually we are (fathering up their
Import trade so that the day Is not
long ahead when we will have the com
mercial supremacy. For years It has
been the dream of many white citizens
of the island of Jamaica that the Hay
would come when peaceful negotiations
i between Uncle Sam and John Bull would
give Uncle Sam the holdings of John
Bull there and transfer sovereignty to
the United States.
For generations Great Britain has
ruled commercially as well as govern -
' mentally In most of the Islands of the
West Indies. Her wars with France
and Spain In other quarters of the
globe led to the conquest here, and It
; was not long before she had effected
the capture of the trade Just as she
had captured the Islands themselves.
- For generations England has got the
cream of this trade lying so close to
our own shores. But when the Yankee
began to get on terms of Intimacy with
the banana the pendulum of commerce
began to swing toward the United
, States and It has been swinging that
way ever since.

Balance of Trade Satisfactory.
England furnishes one of the Frreat
paradoxes of trade. At home we think
thawwhen the balance of trade Is In our
jv.r wu in wen, out we are never con
tent to see It on the wronsr side of the
ledger. But England has for years and
years hen polnr along; plllns; up a
heavier balance of trade against herself
each year. What Is true of the mother
country Is also true of the West Indian
colonies. Ifi spite of the great volume

Taking Individual colonies, the ' Ba

exports to the United States and buv
sbout three fourths of their Imports
from her. Principal among her exports
are sponres. of which she sends away
about 1.400.000 pounds a year. Next In
Importance Is Bahamas hemp, of which
she sends away over 2.000,000 pounds
a year, almost exclusively to the TTnltert
States. The stsple product of Barba
does is sugar, which was developed un
der slavery conditions, and has contin
ued since the abolition of slavery In
very much the same fashion. The"pe0

France captures more than the half.
The same rule applies aa to Cuba. Our
relations with hor are so close as to
amount to practical ownership, and she
spends 4" cents out of every dollar with
the. United States. Its application Is
even more strikingly shown in the case

the United SuiteK. The iital im

amount to $2,262,000,000 a vear, one-

Effects of Oaaal's Completion.
In every one of the Wist Indian
Islands the trade of the United States
Is increasing. Kvery vear we arc get

per cent of the total export business.
