whst Farmers Must Compete Against
Recently the pArnpas OF South America
have been broken up and seeded down 70
wheat. But few years ago the Argen-
tine Republic did not raisewheat enough
20 supply the wants OF her own people.
This year it is calculated that her export
VIII exceed i7,o00, 600 bushels The
method adopted by her Of disposing of
her lands must Lead 20 a large increase
IN production and a larger ratio Of ex-
portation- Instead Of disposang of her
lands In small tracts. which would make
homes for small farmers, she sells by auc.
ton in large tracts upon which wheat
growing can DO carried on in the same
wholesale way in which il has been car
ned on heretofore on tho big farms
along the Red River Of the North, and
with the same absence of any considera-

larion. Frank Vincent in his recent
work on South America describes the
wheat growing posi- bilities of the Argen.
tine Republic in such way as To demon
strate clearly that her competition in the
wheat market today is bat slight fore
taste Of the future.
Does any one pretend that if it were
possible for us to strike every import
duty from the list and we opened oul
ports % the world Russia would not gC
right on breaking up aud seeding down
her vast area OF bread producing soil

would pause In her work OF developing
the vast agricultural resources of India'
VIII IL be claimed for moment tha'
the food Of wheat from the pampas oi
South America would cease? Sucl
( claims would be idle. Our ports are to
day open 70 nearly all the products o.
/ the Argentine Confederation. We take
her hides free. but she goes calmly on
adding to her competition in food prod
ucts with Us.
What is the remedy? It is not in Free
trade. Ii is favorite theory with tn,
Free-trader that il we buy largely OF I
( nation that nation will in turn buy
largely of Us. But it is only theory
Experience shows its utter falsity as
fact.
