land not unlike our central west. The
numbers OF land owners-that is, OF

PROSPERITY in ARGENTINA.

From a Report Of United States MIN.
lister John Barrett.
Favorable as the year 1903 has been
for Argentine trade, the indications
for 1904 are that its high.water mark
OF prosperity will surpass that Of
1908. II is a safe prediction. more

upon a period of general progress and
Legitimate development, The day Of
revolutions seems to have passed anu
permanent stability Of government to
have been established.
A few general observations will give
some idea OF the value 81 this field.
Argentina has an area OF 100000
square miles. This area. except a very
small portion. Is located In the south
temperate lone. II Is, therefore, strict
~ suited to white labor. Iii this vast
extent, however, there are as yet only
5000 900 inhabitants, while II can cas-.
lily support 100000 0 Buenos Ayres,
the capital, is Of the most pros.
porous aud beautiful cities IN the
world and has a population Of; nearly
1Oao.o0o. Neither III this city nor In
the interior is there any considerable
Indian on negro element. such as Is
found In other South American coun'
tries. The population Is 30 per cent
OF white extraction.

Ayres, but in the provinces. impress

THE FoUR MINoN PNRTyss.

from LHb z lOIh AiAuuuS'
It is not 10 be expected that any or
all OF these four minor parties Will
figure decisiyely In the presidential
contest, Their total vote in 1900 was
less than 100000 In d total presidential
vote Of over $4,000. 900. Each attracts
i small and devoted following, but
none has shown SO far, except the pop
ulist organization, 4 capacity to seize
on current issues Or exploit them in a
way 10 touch the popular imagination;
nor has any OF them. ever the popnlist
party, ever developed q leader Of com.
mandIng ability or exceptional fore
sight. The campaign Of 1896 left the
fpopulist party q wreck. Fusion with
the democracy killed populism In the
south and In the west, after the sec.
ond fusion OF 1900 the remnants Of
the party were swept bodily into the
democratic ranks. In 1892 General
Weaver. the populIst candidate for
President, polled 1.041.487 votes. In
1900 Wharton Barker. the middle Of
the Road candidate, got 5O,030. A
reunion 81 the two factions this year
may slightly increase the populist
party's strength; but II q democratic
candidate Is nominated acceptable TO
the radical elements which acKnowl-
edge Mr.. Bryan's leadership, the pop
ulist organization will find no field 70
recruit In not open TO II In 1900.
The prohibition party has apparent
~ exhausted It's capacity for growth.
II Is losing rather than gaining
ground. In 1892 Bidwell, as q presi'
Dental candidate. got 270,SG7 votes.
In 1900 Woolley got 2O9,0s2. There Is
no prospect Of a turn this year In this
weakened and stagnant party's for
tunes. The socialist party. known N
1900 as the social democratic party
has shown In recent years some signs
of vitality. It's vote in 1900 was %,
