PRODUCTS OF ARGENTINA.

The Argentine Republic is the greatest fax
growing country in the world. That fact may
surprise some who have regarded II as
scarcely explored wilderness. Nevertheless, it
is fact Flax growing was begun in Argen-
tina nearly hundred years ago, but not until
about twenty years back was any attempt
made TO raise it TO the proportions OF a national
industry. In 1881 some sixty-seven thousand
acres were planted in fax in the province of
Buenos Ayres. The success OF the venture led
to wider planting in that province, and in Cor
dOva, Entire Rios and Santa Fe. To-day the
crop is one Of the most important in the coun-
try, and surpasses in magnitude that OF any
other land.
1t is, however, crop not of flax so much as
of fiaxseed There is no production of linen,
although the variety Of fax grown is the same as
that from which our linen is produced, the dry
ness of the climate being unfavorable TO the pro-
ducton of linen. The plant is grown only for
the seed, and as soon the latter is secured the
linen bearing straw is burned. Even with this
perhaps Inevitable wastefulness the crop is q
highly profitable one. An average of 1000
pounds of seed is raised on an acre and in
some cases the yield is 1000 pounds. The
export of ha1seed from the four provinces
named amounts 10 100000 tons a year which
is half the entire product of the world Not
more than 10000 tons are retained for domestic
use, and there appear 10 be no linseed oil mills
In the country, as all the oil used there is
imported. One wonders what the effect upon
the markets Of the world might be If Argentina
should export lnseed oil and cake instead of
raw fiaxseed and could transform the straw
into linen thread and cloth instead of burning IL
In addition TO this enormous output of flax
seed, Argentina sends yearly TO Great Britain
2,50o,0oo sheep carcasses-Australia itself sends
only 100000. In the first three months of the
present year Argentina exported more than
1900 tons OF -four. nearly $4,000 tons of bran.
nearly 5000 tons of sugar, more than 10000
cases of tobacco, 76s,oo0 OK hides, $1,000 horse
hides, 10.400 tons Of sheepskins, SO, 500 tons Of
wool, 10000 quarters OF beef and more than
100000 pounds Of butter. These are a few
items of production Of a country which some
have affected TO regard as an unimproved

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP.

District Attorney Philbin's Judgment as to
the importance of electing Mr. Jerome TO the
office which Tammany longs unspeakably to
regain is entitled TO profound respect lie
knows what forces have been combined to
thwart him in his pursuit of criminals, and
how completely they can control the situation
when Tammany owns the public prosecutor.
The rulers of the organization and the scoun-
drels who look TO it for protection will con-
slider that they have won a substantial victory
if they are able TO put Mr.. Unger in Mr.. Phil
bins place. Far more than any other possible
result of the election they dread triumph for
the fearless and energetic candidate whose cam
paign is daily arousing fresh enthusiasm among
the voters. They foresee what will occur If Mr.
Jerome wins. and they will stick at nothing to
compass his defeat.
Mr.. Unger is exactly fitted for the uses to
which Tammany needs to put the District
Attorney. When that has been truly said, there
ought TO be no necessity for saying more There
is welcome evidence that honest citizens com
prehend the meaning of Mr.. Unger's candidacy
and are preparing TO avert the calamity which
II threatens.

THE PHILADELPHIA FIRE.

One cannot read the story of yesterdays fire
In Philadelphia without wondering why furni
ture factory should exist in the heart OF a big
city. To store the finished products of such an
establishment in salesrooms where the public
can obtain convenient access thereto is permis-
sible, with proper precautions. But 10 carry on
the business OF manufacture at the same place
Is different matter. shop containing kiln
dried lumber, chips light drapery. tow, benzne
and varnish should be located out in the sub
urbs. IL was only through fortunate combina-
ton Of circumstances that much adjacent prop
erty was not destroyed.
Some Of the dispatches declare that the build
ing had been regarded exceptionally safe; but
alas! the word 'hreproof," as applied TO modern
buildings, covers a multitude OF deficiencies It
Is q sad abuse OF the term to couple It with a
New-York tribune., 1901-10-26

structure which could consume so rapidly that
something like a score of its inmates perished In
the flames. Can 1t be possible that the munich
pal authorities had been a little negligent?
Another question which presents itself relates
to the fire escapes with which the factory should
have been equipped. Probably not more than
twenty out of the 800 employed there at the
time the fire broke out burned 10 death, and this
is a small proportion. Even that number, how
ever. is too large by twenty. Both the inside
and outside arrangement of the building should
have been such that in time of peril every single
occupant would be able TO escape unharmed.
There seems TO be some reason 10 believe,
however, that it was lacking in more respects
than one.

How can the owners of modest homes in any

took office real estate owners have found their
burdens heavier year after year. The taxable
valuations of buildings and lands have been
swollen enormously. and the tax rate has been
oppressive. Tammany has made New-York a

SENATOR HANNA's idea that the
''weal or VICE. of this country de-
ponds upon the activities of business
men in public affairs will scarcely be
concurred in by everybody. If, for
instance, all of the business men took
the same selfish. pernicious interest
in government that Mark does there
would be no doubt of the ''woe" that
would follow, nor of its cause, bTt
fortunately for the country the pro-
fessional man, the mechanic, the far
mer and the laborer take an interest
and the 'weal" that we meet with is
Just as much due to their efforts as
to those of the business man.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY is said to have
confessed that he is not quite so much
of protectionistas hewas. He is no
longer trying TO live up to his bill and
is willing to admit some virtue in rec
iprocity. Evidently the president has
had his ear to the ground lately. But
whatever may be tho degree of change
in the presidents mind, the proceed
ings of the National Association of
American Manufacturers at Detroit
plsinly indicate that very many ultra
protectionists of former days are in
favor of a radical revision of the
Dingley act.
