Speech #500086230

I do not claim that this amendment will accomplish the result at once. I claim simply that it is one step in the direction in which American progress and American thought and American hope and American inspiration point. As an illustration of the wonderful growth and development of the countries whose trade we are seeking. I wish to call attention to the Argentine Republic. That republichas a population of about 4.000.000. They built. in 18S7. over 5.00 miles of railroad. and they will have an immigration during the present year of over 200.000 souls.
