volved in getting them in the country is
almost prohibitive. If these and other
American things could be gotten into the
country at cheaper rates, or. could be
manufactured here on the ground the
sale would be widespread In talking
with business people, they tell me they
can make better terms for goods in Eu
rope than they can in the United States,
hence the bulk of the trade goes, as I
have said, to England and to Germany.
"Buenos Aires is a charming city.
Representatives of nearly, if not quite, all
the nations are here Ships from every

thence sail to all ports of the globe. : -
Minnesota Mans Success
''It was an unspeakable pleasure to find
8. A. Schuman and his wife of Minnesota
here. Mr.. Schuman is the secretary of
the Y M. C. A. in this city. His success
is marvellous. The very best and most
influential people are standing by him.
Recently the association has been COM
PEELED to move into much larger and more
conmodious quarters, in order properly to
do its work, and to care for the rapidly
increasing membership. I had the
pleasure of delivering an address the even
ing of the opening Of the new quarters,
and altho the weather was very inclement,
the building was simply crowded, with an
intensely interested audience, to show it's
great and hearty sympathy with and ap-
probation of Mr.. Shuman and his work for
the young men of the city. ANY refer
ence during the delivery of the address
to him and his wife was received with the
most rapturous applause. Mrs. Shuman
nobly stands by her husband, and most
effectively aids him in his great work.
"They are both graduates of our Ham
line university. and they are an honor
to their alma mater, and would be the
same to any university in the land.
"The Standard is one of the leading
morning it had the following to say of us
as a rushing, hurrying, driving and rest
less people:
"y'Uncle Sans sons are always in such
terrific haste to rush thru life that they
would now and then forget their heads if
the latter happened to be loose, so it is
no wonder that last year they posted over
$1,000 letters without addressing the en-
-velops, and over $4,000 of these letters
contained money and securities to the
amount of $8,00O,000 including $250,O00 IN
bank notes. We wonder how much of all
this was recovered .
Striking Words Of President Roca.
General Roca is the first man who has
been twice elected president of the Argen-
tine republic. He is a man of decided
ability. and is in high favor with the Ar
gent1ne people, as is certainly shown IN
his two elections to the presidency.
I'm a speech delivered in Rosario. at the
Inauguration of the port works in that city
recently. he gave utterance to the follow
ng manly and noble words, and I am sure
that every right thinking citizen of the
United States will appreciate what he says
of our country. He said: Decidedly
the genii and fates that surrounded the
cradle of the Republic Of Washington were
not the same that presided at the advent
of the South American democracies. The
fierce, iron-clad conquerors who trod this
part of America, with curious ideas as to
what constitutes liberty and right, and
with an absolute faith in the law of force
and violence, were very different from
those Purftans who landed at Plymouth
with no other arms than the gospel, and
no other ambition than that of founding
a new society, under the law of love and
equality Hence it is that the Latin re-
publics require a greater sum OF perse-
verance, wisdom and energy in order to
wash out their original sin, assimilate vir-:
tues which they did not inherit; form a
new education and constitute themselves
definitely.
ITO men on the ground. who know.
something of the things that have made
the histories of these parts of the world,
these words of President Roca will have
almost infinitely more meaning and more
influence than they can have with people
who know little or nothing of the coun-5
tries In which these things took place.
