ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
A LAND OF PtENTY-iTS PEOPLE
AND TRADE.
A Buenos Ayres Banker Talks About
Business In the South American Pro-
vince-Business, Schools, Climate and
Railroads-The Newspapers-Prosperi

Business In the South American Pro-
vince-Business, Schools, Climate and
Railroads-The Newspapers-Prosperi
THE people of the United States" said Mr..
Charles b Sanford, a partner of the firm
of Samuel B. Hale & Co., bankers, Of Buenos
Ayres, do not know what an Ell Dorado
the Argentine Republic is. Not in gold and
silver, though we mine even these precious
metals there, but in productiveness. think
that today Buenos Ayres offers a greater
field for the employment of capital with
safety than the city of any other country in
the world"
What is Buenos Ayres likeG"
comparing it with city of the United
States, should say Philadelphia. Its streets
are laid out in regular squares or blocks OF
200 feet each, and it covers a great deal Of
ground. 1t is built upon slight elevation,
rising from the La Plata river. 1t has
front of two miles on the river, and extends
back between two and three miles The
number of inhabitants is 100000. 1t is to all
intents and purposes seaport, though 120
miles from the ocean, as it has direct con-
nection by steamer with Europe. The bank
ing interest of the city is very large. There
another that cost $3.50, 900 and others the
cost of which varies from $500, 900 to $780,
000 The National bank is Just about to
begin the construction of building which,
with the land, will cost 81, 800, 900. These
structures are of brick and stucco, handsome
in design, and compare favorably with those
of any city. OF the residences the city has
many handsome ones that cost from 500 900
to $500, 900 each. The cost of others is from
$4,000 to $4,000. Spanish is the language
generally spoken, but English is much culti
waited among the natives, and the larger
number Of foreigners being Italians, their
language largely prevails"
What is the government ikem
THE government of the Argentine Repub-
lie is similar to ours, and its constitution is
an exact copy of ours, with the exception
that the president is elected for a term of six
years instead of four. The present president
is Mr.. NJ. Juarez Colman He is a very
young man to occupy such a position, being
under 40 years of age. He is a very ener-
getic and enterpriSing ruler, and L have no
doubt that his years will be of prosperity to
the country. Military rule and dictatorship
have long since been thing of the past in
the Argentine Republic, although many peo-
pie think that this is still the rule of the
country"
"Wbat are some OF your wealthiest men

wealth is placed at SEQ, 100000 EACH and

ELECTRICAL INVENTIONS.
Some of the Contrivances 30 be Seen at
the Patent Office.

Some of the Contrivances 10 be Seen at
the Patent Office.
The electrical inventions of the patent Of
fee have within the last ten years grown
into mammoth proportions. The great
American brain seems to. be devoting itself
to electricity just now, and there is class
here devoted to this subject. In it are the
divisions of electric signaling, telegraphy,
telephony, electric lighting, medical electric
ity, electric motive power, electricity genera
ton, electricity conductors and others Each
of these classes have sub-classes, and new
classifcations have to be made every year or
two Before 1876 there were less than two
thousand patents granted for electricity.
Since that time over eight thousand have
been granted, and we now give out over
thousand patents or electrical inventions
every year.
And still electricity is in its infancy. 1t
has made many of the big fortunes of today,
and the Bell telephone and the Western
Union telegraph are founded upon it. There
are now electric street cars in many of the
cities of the country, and a company has been
formed in Baltimore to run Lightning ex-
press over an elevated railroad across the
country for the carrying of mail and import
ant express matter The car used will be,
understand, about the size of the average dry
goods box, and the speed will be GOO miles an
hour. This will beat the telegraph and pneu-
matte tube, and it will revolutionize much of
the business Of the country By it letter in
your own handwriting can go from New
York to Washington in twenty minutes, and
Chicago will get the New York papers for
breakfast. W, will be able to send a pack !
age from New York to San Francisco in five
hours, and the outcome of the whole will be
that passenger travel will be carried on in the
same way.
The romance of electric inventions has not
its counterpart in fiction. A little more than
a decade ago, Telephone Bell, who is now
worth S6,0OO,OOO, was walking about Wash
ington ION his uppers" and trying to sell his
telephone stock for ten cents on the dollar.
Shortly before this he was teaching deaf
and dumb school in Boston, aad bis pocket
book was in continual state Of leanness.
Now he has an income of hundreds Of dollars
a day. He is surrounded by fine pictures,
owns a magnifcent residence, and his soul
rejoices in all the fairness which money can
gtte.
