'But does this commerce amount to
myshf'
Foreign trade OF the Argentine Republic Is
now annually worth 100000. 600. This il far
more than the foreign commerce Of China,
with its 400 200 900 Inhabitants. Every Ar
gentine family is equal to Eve Chinese fam
lies az far as its purchases Of foreign goods
arc concerned There are only $500 co..
people in Argentina. but they are white
people, with the same wants that we have
and with the money to satisfy those wants.
The country is growing fast In population.
It will have fifteen millions instead of lve
within few years. and its foreign trade
will be worth more than a billion dollars
per year. 1t is a great country
The United States of South America.
Tell me something about the Argentine
Republic Mr.. Barrett7" said I.
II hardly know where to begin" said the
minister. Argentina is an empire Of enor-
nous possibilities. 1t is to South America
what the United States is to North Amer
lea. 1t is a white mans country with a
Wnlte mans climate. 1t kes at about the
same distance from the equator that our
country does. and 1t raises sfnfFar crops
Argentina has a vast area of fertile lands
If you will take all the United States east
of the Mississippi and the tier of states
which lie directly west of that river-that is,
Minnesota, Iowa Missouri, Arkansas and
Louisiana-and all the country east of them,
you will have territory about as large as
the Argentine Republic. That territory has
fully as much fertile land and the capa city
to support as many people. 1t is a land of
great rivers, including the Rio de la Plata
system. up which the largest ocean steam
ers can go for four hundred miles, and
river steamers and barges for two thous-
and miles and more. 1t is a country with
long seacoast, with many accessible ports
and a country which now has II, 900
miles of railroads. 1t is the greatest sheep
region of the world having more than
110,Oc00 600 sheep on its pastures. 1t has
2S,0000o0 cattle and the day may come
when it will be the greatest meat country
on earth. 1t has vast freezing establish
ments where 1t annually freezes sheep by
the millions and beeves by the hundreds of
thousands for the tables of Europe, and its
wheat fields compete with ours in the mar
kets of the world. In these industries the
available country is by no means devel-

Will Locate the Blame.

From the Boston Transcript.
Not long ago famous astronomers were
telling us that the sun spots have no APP
parent connection with the weather Now
comes the United States weather bureau.
an institution which makes a speciality of
climate, and announces that II suspects a
casual connection between recent baromet-
rical disturbances and the approaching
sun spot maximum. and that it purposes to
look deeper into the spots. The meteorolo-
gists are naturally more anxious than the
astronomers to fix the blame for the
weather somewhere.
