And thisrate Of increase Is being Kept up,
Tor II the half years Of 1881 and 1899 be com
pared 1t will DO seen that the increase this
year has been ii per cent. in imports, per
cent. in exports, and 81 per cent. in Gus
toms duties. 1t is estimated that for the
whole year 1892 the exports may reach
SOS 900 600
This is indsed the product of actual
work done by Ihe people and demonstrates
that the country keeps on in the path of
progress which nature has marked out for
It, The possibilities of the land are so
vast and undeniable that glance ut its
geographical position will soon satisfy the
most skeptical
THE republic embraces n latitude or
S3 degs., from the twenty second parallel
to the fifty-Gfth degree S.. being some
$500 miles long and n little over 500 miles
wide in the average. The total area ex-
eeeds 100000 square miles. The United
Kingdom, Germany, France, Austria
Hungary, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium,
Holland and Greece, all at once, could be
easily Accommodated within the territory
1t covers semitropical, temperate and cold
zones, very much like the United States
Its principal richness has consisted until
recent years of sheep and wool (about
lOO,00O,000 head). and cattle and hides
(about 100000 headD; but agriculture

plus of wheat and corn for export aug
ments yearly in manner that bids fair to
place the Argentine as one of the great
cereal supplying countries.
There are also many hidden resources
such as vast coal deposits, lately discov-
cred, silver, gold, lead and copper mines,
| and the immense hard wood forests of the
Chaco region, covering an area larger than
that of England and Wales. The Argen-
tine Republic, whose population does not
yet reach 100000 wants moro people to
gradually spread out and help exploit all
sources Of production"
To my inquiry rs to the fertility and pic
turesqueness of his country Mr. Roll said:
THE country is flat toward the Atlantic,
and has comparatively little scenery worth
mentioning in this locality, except Mt the
delta of the Parana river, where hundreds
and hundreds Of islands with rich and
luxurious vegetation offer rare pictur-
esquencss. But tho mountainous parts,

seeing the prosperity of his own country

since Jaurez's downfall that he and n great
number of his satellites had unusual bust
ness opportunities to use the national
funds with an undue prodigality 1t will
take few years to set things right so far
as the meeting OF the obligations connected
with the public debt are concerned, and
this will be done with the support of every

THE people Of the Argentine are as a

There is certainly no lack of actual wealth
IN the land, and every patriot would
quickly pledge n goodly part of his private
fortune for the sake of restoring the shat
tered credit the moment he could trust
implicitly in the good management of the
government.
Strictly speaking, then" continued Mr..
Kohl, the crisis was essentially of n polit-
ico-fnancial character, for the business
community of the republic, though CON
siderably affected by the official 'deeringo-

hitherto granted by Europeans, who are the
largest traders with the Argentine. The
