There are several reasons beyond the ar

the Argentine Republic. 1t is an example
Of purely agricultural nation, such an one
as the United States never was, even in the
old "free trade days" when, as a matter of
fact. no long period elapsed without GER

agricultural products Of the Republic go to
England and France, and its supplies of
manufactured goods come from those coun-

Ing country controls the markets, or domin-
ates, as the saying is. This is the case with
the Argentine Republic. and the result Of it
on the trade condition Of the country is not
always pleasant. Our coAsul at Buenos
Ayes, In his latest published report, shows
how this comes about. The semi annual
customs returns of the Republic show an in
crease OF Imports Of nearly twelve million
dollars, and an increase of exports of nearly
twenty-one millions. Our consul remarks
shat were these exports the Legitimate prod.

Is nothing more than the drainage of gold
from the country to pay the large balance of

previous year. AS the gold is drained away

higher premium. This premium is con-
stantly growing higher in spite of all the
efforts OF the Argentine government to stop

something like an American zollyerein or a

manufacturing industries of vast benefit to
their people. The example, the influence

that end, although these very neighbors

A Western man who should be taken over

Western mortgages. This means that the

such as patronize savings banks, lhave taken

millions of dollars to the inhabtants. of tss5se
