Uruguay in and the argentine republic the report in part says the share of the united states in the enormous trade of the river platte country which includes paraguay uru uruguay and the argentine republic is lamentably insufficient and less ihan than it was halt a century ago the reason is very apparent twenty on elmes elines of steamships connect these ports with those of europe while there is no regular steamship communication with our country from forty to sixty steamers arrive at buenos ayres every month and nut not one from the united states ane few products of our nelds fields and factories we found there are brought brou broa I 1 lit there sometimes in chartered vessels but more frequently come by way of europe the merchants with one voice saying thau thai because of the absence of stean communication they can afford to buy in the united states only such articles as cannot be ob elsewhere the presentation of the ion to the president of uruguay was ina lna made dethe the subject of a great deal of ceremony and military display it bein being 11 the desire of the government as well neli as a s the people to testify testily in this manner mannel their admiration for the grand republic as the united states is universally termed the president of uruguay and his ministers after expressing with great ardor their admiration tor for the united states their efforts to imitate our government in all things and their desire for closer relations accepted without discussion each an and 11 all of the propositions submitted by the commission except that which relates to a reciprocity treaty with the united states to this they would haye readily consented also but the commission felt justified in encourage ing them to expect that the congress of the united would not no consent to a reduction or removal of the duty on wool that being the chief product of uruguay and the only article exported to the tho theUn united ceol teel states which is taxed under our tariff with regard to the proposed common coin and international dional congress they were quite enthusiastic thusia th the government of of uruguay they said was wa not in such a An financial ancial condition as to offer pecuniary aid towards the construction of a line between its ports and the united states but very earnestly hoped that something might be rione ione in this direction and would waid wald agree to afford any steamer special privileges in the matter malter of harbor duties etc babe presentation of the commission to the president of the argentine re public was at the presidents request j attended with such familiarity as ass was consistent with diplomatic rank and usage and the usual complimentary addresses addressed were exchanged the formal format topics submitted for tion at our conference with president roca and his government were all cordially approved by them nowhere has ape commission met with a more moio genuine cordiality and nowhere has the desire for closer political and commercial relations with the united states been so apparent as in lu the argentine republic that country aspires to be to south youth america what our country is to the northe northern rj continent and is making rapids strides towards such a position the president earnestly desired more intimate com mercial relations with the united states but sald said that it was useless to expect trade without transportation facilities the argentine government was willing to do as iu much ucil as the united states in ga g ing 1 financial aid to the steamship company that would sail vessels
