Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our South American Trade Circumstances like these explain why Germany and Great Britain have developed so largely their instrumentalities of traffic with South America. They have built steamships and sailing vessels; they have established banks and increased the postal conveniences; they have invested capital in countless industrial concerns, of which mining, railways, street traction, light and power plants, water works and manufacturing establishments are but a few examples; and their purely mercantile enterprises are legion. At the same time their tariff schedules and their navigation laws, as well as their business habits, have undergone modification to meet the exigencies of the South American market and to satisfy both the needs and the demands of the South American customer. Naturally enough all this has served to win the confidence of the South American and to im bue him with a conviction that the European merchants are sincerely interested in his welfare.
