Trade With the United states.

The commerce with the United States
is increasing in the most surprising
manner. In 1850 we sold only $500, 900
worth OF goods to Argentina, but in
1900 we were selling $11,6OO,0OO. In
the same time the exports from Argen-
tina to the United States more than
quadrupled. In 1906 our exports to
Argentina had leaped up to $32.673,359,
while our imports from her were $1S,-
379,063.
Our principal exports to the Repub-
lie are agricultural implements. Next
comes petroleum, boards, wood mann
features and manufactures of hemp,
jute and cotton. The principal imports
from Argentina are wool. hides and
skins. Argentina sends immense guam

THE STORY.

-AIINEVEH was in a turmoil Of x
IN element. A strange preacher had
suddenly appeared in the street of the
great city and was proclaiming a
message from the great God of heaven
land earth, the God Of gods who ruled
;over all, and who was able to destroy
':and to make alive. At first the null
'Situdes had been disposed to mock
and ridicule. the oddly-garbed preach
~er, and to laugh with scorn at the
warning that yet forty days, and Min
.eveh shall be overthrown."
But as day after day this preacher
had passed up and down the city pro-
claiming his message, and the miracu-
Ions story was told from mouth to
mouth how the preacher had been cast
into the sea, and how his God, who
had sent him to the city, had prepared
a great fish to receive him and bring
him safe to land, a sober, thoughtful
hearing was given him. AS a result
it was not long ere word was brought
to the king concerning the man and
his message.
"Nineveh to be destroyed" he cried.
NAY, it cannot be-"
But fear took hold upon his heart.
The message of the prophet troubled
him day and night, and at last he laid
aside his robes of state, and put
ting on in their place the sack
clcth and ashes which betokened
deep mourning and grief, he pro-
claimed a fast throughout the city, de-
creeing that the people from the king
and mobiles down should neither eat
bread nor drink water until the wrath
of the God Of gods had been appeased.
What Il transformation that was!
When Jonah entered the c,ty's gates

all been put away and the people did

lecto.'s office, whether a measure of
pubic policy smacked Of Hamiltonian-
hm or Jeffersonianism? What he
wanted was the job. So a great deal
of the local political oratory was prac-
teal to a degree.
At the political banquets, however,
the real oratOry was supposed to be
u~ncorked, and we always attended
these banquets, usually at from three
to five dollars "a throw" or a plate,
as the more polite termed it. But the
science of after-dinner speaking-post-
prandial oratOry, as it Is called. is
largely dependent upon extraneous
conditions; and particularly as TO the
state of receptivity on the part OF the
audience. After a man has drunk
say two or three glasses OF sauterne'
a couple of glasses of claret, n lou
or five or eleven glasses OF cham
payne, he is usually in a very uncrltl-
cal condition. And almost any
1owery bunk goes with him as some
thing grand.
But lust let a man stick to little
old aqua pura" all during the banquet;
let him up-end his glass and say:
Nay, nay, Pauline" to the lettering

chanalian fluids, and what a change

Political, oratory is composed OF the
usual two classes Of all oratory, to-
wit: prepared and impromptu. Pre-
pared oratory is oratory which mas

and which the speaker Is ready to
hand out to the reporters on type-writ-
ten sheets before the banquet. I'M
promptu oratory is oratory which the
speaker has learned by heart and re-
fuses to give copies Of. although 1t
has been written out carefully. This

and the great man or great men wonsd
approach through the center aisle at
tended by a Gordon of followers like
the attendant pilot-fishes to his males
ty the shark, or more properly speak
ing, like the attendant porpoises on
the whale.
The "silver-tongued' "bunk-shOOter"
would then grasp the hands Of the
great men, to show how close he was
to the throne, and would gently but
firmly subside, and the Real Thing"
would proceed to address the meeting.
Close attention was always shown to
the mayoralty and aldermanic candi-
dates and to no one else. And what
the audience was always trying to
figure out was what kind of a man
is he?" and not what are the issues?"
And so the orators scared in and out
of the issues like a swallows flight
above a river, and their analysis of the
questions of the day left as much an
impression on their hearers minds as
the birds flight does in the air above
the rivers current.
But they were watching him, and
shrewdly or otherwise making up
their minds as to his sincerity, his
courage, his honesty and his general
ability to fill the office he was seek
ing. The main issue was always some
thing that no one, not even the origi-
majors of it, really understood. 1t was
usually based on a strictly scientific
degree of accuracy. 1t started from
self-evident and bitterly contested con-
| clusion, and arrived in a labyrinth of
| contradiction from which there was
no outlet. The celebrated traction is
sue, for instance, was one on which
| several campaigns were fought, and
no honest man ever really pretended
to understand 1t. The question had
| as many angles to it as three-cushion
| carom billiards. and as fast as one
| perfect solution to the puzzle was Of
fered, something would bob VI that
would change the status of affairs and
make it as much of a mystery as be-
| fore.
The main Uses of campaign oratory
| In the wards was to enthuse the work
| ers, to get the "hustlers" in the vari-
Gus precincts busy in getting out the
votes. To do this required that the
| speaker descend from the high trap
eze of flowery defamation and talk
| about the practical benefits to be de-
rived by a party victory. The thir-
teen struggling colonies were all
right in their place, but that was
several years back, and what the
workers wanted to hear about was the
patronage to be distributed, the pos
| sibility of jobs and positions when the
victory was gained, and what there
was in it for them"
The business and professional men
of the ward followed their callings
on precisely the same plan. They,
also, were looking in their line for Pc
cuniary rewards and emolument. Yet
they sneered at the politicians. What
difference did 1t make to a fellow who
was out Of a place in the city col

"God saw. God %repented.

revelation of God dealing in
mercy and love with a wicked
people.

ment against sInf
NineVeh stands out a perPet-
uaI challenge against the claim
that God ever Furnishes unjustly
or before hs has given full op-
portunity for repentance and a
turning from the sin that would
destroy.
God saw chat the people Of
NIneveh brought forth works

The prophet was SO blinded
by his prejudices and the natu-
raj hatred CT the Jews for every
other nation that he could not
see anything but the Wickedness
of the city and believe that the
only just course vas the de-
~otruction of the city.
But God saw. HoW comfort
Ing and encouraging is the
thought that God secs. Human
eyes are prone to only e the
weaknesses and failures. God
sees the quickening purpose in
the heart for a better life. He
sees the first slow, faltering
steps towards him, and in pa
tierce and love he stays his
hand of judgment and holds out
the ether In which are offered
mercy and forgiveness.
Truly, as the Lord hath said:
al have no pleasure in the death
of the wicked"
On the contrary hear him
plead, that the wicked turn
from his way and live; turn ye,
turn ye from your evil ways;
for why will we die?"
So much for God and his in
finite love and mercy which
reach out to the far off Nine
vehs, bestowlng pardon instead
of judgment.
But what of the preacher?
No credit to him for the re-
pentance of Nineveh. His big
otry would have shut the great
city cut of the pale of Gods
mercy. He spoke the message
God had given him to speak, d
message of impending judgment,
with no thought, or wish, or
prayer that Nineveh might re-
pent and be spared.
Jonah had like many a mod
ern-day preacher that dam
hoIier-than-thou" feeling, and
went about his preaching in a
perfunctory way, delivering his
message because 1t was the
word, and because he knew he
must preach it, but never for a
moment feeling the heart-throb
of God, or that yearning for the
salvation of a perishing soul.
Religious exclusiveness or big
otry have done more to retard
the onward progress Of the
kingdom of Christ than any d.
rect forces of evil which have
been brought to bear upon
Christian work and workers.
