The line from Venezuela is getting comparatively nothing for carrying the United States mail-$1.500 a year. I say it is an indecency. an outrage. and ought to be rectified by the Congress of the United States sometime or other. Here is the Argentine Republic. modeled upon our own in every regard. growing as rapidly as our own today in proportion to its size. increasing in every regard. in business prosperity. in immigration. in civilization. in everything that goes to make up a great country. and here we are without one single steamer to its ports. or one from there to ours. There were 348 steamers last year in and out of the Argentine ports. and not one of them with an American flag en it. every one of them English. German. or French.
