as big as the state of Illinois. It's ATTITUDES
are such that In the north you can grow
figs and oranges in the open air; thence
there stretch southwark $500 miles Of rich
prairie land. The agrarian people there
have been spending for ten years, untold
sums of money to improve their cattle
stock They are importing from Great
Britain and elsewhere the best bulls alive
and they are breeding cattle that would
astonish the citizen farmer OF the United
States. They have learned how to ship
dressed beef. We knew that from their
southern cline they had to pass the equa-
torfal tropics to get to the markets Of the
northern hemisphere and for time we felt
secured by that natural barrier. But the
Argentine shippers have built packing
houses that can send dressed beef to LIVER
pool and London at prices that will out our
threats.
Moreover. we must realize that the
European market would rather buy meat
from the Argentine than from the United
States. Why? Because Argentina buys OF
Europe and thus keeps the balance of trade

TnrIn and Reciprocity.
"No one questions the wisdom OF a pro-
tective tariff in general, nor can there be
valid objection to any individual schedule
required to protect labor or capital in
mutually profitable production. But there
are such individual schedules that can
be reasonably modified. The great iron
and steel interests, the manufacturers of
rails and of machinery and tools. could In
crease their exports II they would per-
ceive the wisdom and fall in line with the
policy of reciprocal tariff concessions.
That would be far better for manufactur-

Within the last few months New York
interests have organized the Banco de Ia
Havana with a capitalization of $5,OO00Oo.
One-fourth OF the amount has already been
paid In by American investors. and the
remaining three-fourths are Cuban, French
and English, but the control is entirely
from New York.
The next most important OF the primary
causes OF Cuba's prosperity were the work
OF repaving Havanas streets, the work OF
sanitation to which Colonel George z.
waring sacrificed his life. and the eradicN-
ton Of yellow fever from the city of Ha-

ruinous to the farmers.
Never was the time so opportune as
now for increasing our export trade In
meat products, II our proposed reciprocity
treaty with France, negotiated by Mr.. Kas-
son, had gone into effect, single exporter
told me he would have shipped 1000 head
of bulls a week to that country, where the
market demands coarse, strong meat for
boiling rather than for roasting or broiling.
Germany is today suffering from meat
famine that may astound the world. In
Berlin alone 1900 horses were killed in
one year for food and in the same year
1900 horses were eaten in Prussia. These
horses were not tender colts. but WORKOUT

There is the demand; there is the mar
ket for the food products into which We
turn the yield of our great western ranges.
Yet statistics show a decrease in our ex-
ports of canned meats, Woe betide the
range interests of the central and western
states IL we do not gain this market for
our beef and our pork. Our exports Of
these products could easily be tripled un-
der reciprocity. There is the demand. We

No Longer a Monopoly.
But will not this European demand for
food products compel the continental ma
lions to come TO this country for their

I'VE must cease TO think that the United

formidable proportions upon this American
continent a competitor that threatens to
crowd us closely in the markets of the
world. That competitor is the Argentine
