Because that is getting to be a very important port. and our relations with the Argentine Confederation and the States of Uruguay and Paraguay are getting to be more and more important every day. The Argentine Confederation and those adjoining States correspond in influence in South America with the United States in North America. I suppose there is no country in America outside of the United States where there is as much activity and as much progress. and to which there is as much emigration as there is upon the La Plata River and its tributaries. The people of the United States are building up a commerce with that country very rapidly. I know of one gentleman who is interested in a number of iron steamers on the La Plata River. running up as far as Asuncion and doing a very large business there.
