A BAD COUNTRY.
ANOTHER VIEW OF ARGENTINE
Mr. Thomas Hammond, formerly of Rangitikei (writes our special Wairarapa correspondent), returned last week from Argentine, where for the past ten years he has been managing a big ranch. Mr. Hammond speaks in the most favourable terms of the cattle and sheep industry in the South American Republic, and he thinks that eventually the trade will seriously rival that of New Zealand and Australia. "Trade generally," said Mr. Hammond, "is in the hands of British companies. In fact the place commercially might be said to belong to Great Britain. The Government of the country is bad, very bad; and any man or firm going into business, has to pocket his commercial morality. One of the pleasing diversions of the Argentine, is the revolutions, which are as plentiful in that benighted country as measles are in New Zealand."
