COMMERCE OF ARGENTINA.
Exceeds That of Japan, Though Pop. ulation Is Only one-Eighth
 as Great.

The Argentine republic, as it is com. monly called. is to-day one of the most prosperous and progressive countries.
 Its foreign commerce for 1904 reached the immense total of l51. .463. 900 in gold.
 This was greater than that of any other Latin nation, not excepting Mex
 leo and Brazil. It exceeded the foreign
 trade of Japan. of whose marvellous progress we now hear so much. and it
 went far beyond that of China. con- cerning which there Is general discus sion In other words. Argentina, with only 5.0oo.Ooo people. showed a buying and selling capacity in excess of Japan with 10000. 900 people, and China. with 400.0Jo000, My comparison is DO re- lection on these latter countries and have always been an earnest advo- cate of the importance of our commer- cial and political interests in the far east. but these should not overshadov or hide what we have at stake in South America
 That Argentina is moving ahead win proverhlal leaps and bounds IS proved by the fact that her foreign commerce. the best thermometer of a eountry's prosperity. increased ssooao.- Go0 in 1894 over the total for 1s03. which rss sss0. o0.Oos Estimating her popEiafloa as before stated. zt 5.e1o.- Goe. she has in the present total of her s4s1-4s50.9 the remarkable average of nearly ss0 per head. or a far greater average than the United States or any of. the principal Earopean eountries- If this lzssy young giant of South Ameri- ca keeps progressing at this rate. it vl bs difsc1it to estimate her trade and wealth when she has . popaiatso7 of zslee* s0 Unfortunately for the United Stafe.. oar trade exchaneR vita Argentina raakz fozrth ADoag foreien soznsries. cr afser Great Britain.

GRESHAM HITS THE TURK.

A communication which appeared In the Democrat on Monday evening and signed by the Young Turk, wrestler who has appeared before the public on a few occasions, has been the cause of much talk and as re- suit some of Gresham's friends. the wrestler at whom the shot was fired. are up in arms and are trying in ev- cry way to bring the two together. 1T such a thing can be done. The Turk accuses Gresham of having cold feet on August 3. when it is said the two were matched for a go at Oakville. Jack Brennan. who is handling Gres- ham. called at the Democrat office last evening and stated that Gresham was never matched with the Young Turk and that it was unfair to ae- cuse Gresham of having cold feet. He further stated that he would match Gresham against the Turk at I1t pounds at any time for money pr for pleasure and also said that he was very anxious to secure match for himself at 1l6 with the Turk for So5 or any part of it. Now if the Turk means business let him call at the Democrat and deposit forfeit says Mr Brennan.
