We find from Buenos Ayres $5.994.169.07. being a difference between Montevideo andBuenos Ayres of $500.000 in round numbers. What justification is there. when the commerce of this country in productions imported from Uruguay and Paraguay to the United States is very nearly equal to that of the Argentine Republic. for giving an envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to that country and sending to Uruguay and Paraguay. as the Senator says. no representative whatever? It is true it is one of the regions recently opened to .American immigration. enterprise. manufacture. and investment. and they exhibit the most favorable disposition towards our people and our productions under the influence of our present able and accomplished diplomatic representative there. It was at one time made a desolation by arbitrary. cruel usurpation and tyranny. but they are recovering from it under institutions like our own. There are Americans resident there. and with its fertile soil and ingenious people it promises a commerce for which we pay annually five million four hundredodd thousand dollars. nearly the same amount that we pay the Argentine Republic in money and exports. while we export to Uruguay and Paraguay in return little or nothing.
