ASUNCION , January 4 , 1S90. ( Special cor-
rtwpondcnco of The lice. ) Let mo Introduce
you to the president of Paraguay. I have
liad a talk with him In bis palace in the
city of Asuncion. Ills otllco Is in n magnifi
cent building above the Paraguay river. It
Is a palace which would not bo out ot place
among the royal residences of Potsdam , near
Jlorlln. It would bo n flno building in
Vienna , London or Washington. It is nn
immense structure of two stories , with walls
go co\ort'd with stucco that they resemble
whlto marble , and a tower Ilko that of n
cathedral rlalng from Its center. It has wide
galleries or arcades about the greater part
of it , mid Its porticoes are upheld by Ionic
pillars. It is ono of the wonders of man's
creation here In the heart of South America ,
tia for inland from the tea in a straight line
as Now York Is distant from Chicago , and
by the route you must travel over the Hlo
tie la Plata , the Parana and the Paraguay
river , tut far from the Atlantic us Is our own
city of Omaha. The palace was built by the
tyrant Lopez. Just before Paraguay's war
with the Arceutlno Hepubllc , Uraguay nnd
Drazll. Lopez was living In It during the
war , and his enemies almost battered It to
pieces with their guns. Since then It 1ms
fceeu repaired , nnd It now contains the of
fices of the president and his government.
A Call on < I'l-mMi-iit ,
The president's name is Juan I ) , Egus-
quiza. He is ono of the practical business
men of Paraguay , If you aw htm on tbo
streets of New York you might take him
for ono ot the millionaires of the city , and
you would certainly think him a man of
importance. Ho Is , I judge , about & 0 yrura
ot HBO , and In features and form reminds
mo of President Harrison's secretary ot the
treasury , Charles Foster of Ohio , Ills oyoa
11 ro as bright u thoao of "Calico Charlie , "
and his manners quite as cordial. Ho has
the eunio practical Ideas which uparklu In
the conversation of Mr , Foster , and the
eamo onthuulastlc hope for the /uturo for
{ ill things about him ,

that 1 met him. Our American consul , Mr.
John Ilullin , Introduced me. Mr. KuIlHi is
a colored man from Tennessee. He has a
complexion as light as that of the average
Paraguayan , and ho has put In his tlmu so
well on the study of the Spanish since his
appointment that he was able to act as In
terpreter In the talk with the president.
The- president sajs that Paraguay Is rapidly
regaining Its old population. It has now
almost us many people as before its terrible
war. lie estimates that Paraguay has now
700,000 Inhabitants , but bays that it could
support 7,000,000. He tells mo that Paraguay
Is anxious to have immigrants , and that
there is a good chance hero for those who
have small capital and wish to own good
homes ,
I asked President Egusqulza as to titles
and the security of pioperty. IIo replied
tluit the titles were as good hero as in the
United Statin , and that foreign property is
entirety secure. IIo said there would bo no
tampering with foiclgn estates by the gov
ernment and that every foreigner would
ha\e equal right with Paraguayans ,
I asked him where would bo the best places
for Investments In Paraguay.
IIo replied that the country was an unde
veloped empire , and 'hut ' it had largo are-as
of natural pasture which were especially
fitted for cattle raising. These , ho said ,
could bo bought at law prices. lie also re *
fcrreil to the chances for making money in
manufacturing , and nskul me to tefl our
pioplo that It would rniy them to como out
and look the giound over. Ho seemed glad
of a chance to ha\o his country better known
In the Unltod States , and asked mo'to wait
a few moments while he dictated letters for
mo to the heads of bis government depart
ments and prominent business men. These
letters I have since used , and through them
have secured the best and latest data upon
the different matters of Interest.
Ono of my most Intelligent Informants
has lieen the secretary of state , Senor Jose
Decoud. Mr. Docoud speaks KiiKllsh , Uer-
man and Spanish , Ho baa traveled over all
parts of Paraguay , nnd has published a
number of books concerning it. Ho la
largely Interested In the United States , and
his library contains nuiro Ncrth Americana
than joti will nnd In the library of any of
our cabinet ministers at home. I &penl ono
aftrrncon with him nt his residence In the
suburbs of Asuncion. Ilia house has only
one story , but It must rover about a quarter
of an aero of ground , and the ceilings of It
are about twenty feet high. Its ganleiui
are filled with tropical plants , and It Is ,
all told , one of the most comfortable and
delightful bomes I have visltod in South
America ,

As a result ot these talks , and also from

nro being absorbed more rapidly than wo
think. The Argentine and Uruguay Imvo
hut little good government land left. Heal
estate has gone up In the countries south
of hero , and today cheap lauds for stock
raising are limited. I doubt Whether there
is much wild pasture in Paraguay that is
not owned by some one , but the lauds aru
still law.
The grass Is green hero all tbo year
round. There Is water everywhere , and
the cattle need 'but ' llttlo cnro except at tbo
tlmca of the annual roundups. Kvery year
the marketable stock is picked out and
driven to Asuncion for sale. There IB a
demand for the meat , ns well as the hides.
Paraguay has about 2,000,000 cotttlo. It
has three for ovcry man , woman and child
In the country , but It docs not raise enough
meat for Its oun consumption.
These pocplo are ! > eef eaters. They cat
the meat frcwh and they dote on It when It
Is dried and salted. As you rldo through
the country you see strips and sheets ot
meat hanging upon ipoles and swaying to
and fro In the brecvo as the red llannol
shirts of our washings sway to and fro In
( he United States , The nlr Is the refrlgor-
Ator cf the South American countries. The
meat Is not kept In cold storaago , but It Is
dried by the warm air and the sun , and
when It Is as hard as the toono In it it Is
laid iu\ny for future consumption.
Dried boot Is one of the ohlof exports of
this part of the world. It will bring more
la all the markets of the South American
countries than fresh meat , and it Is the
only kind of meat tbat will keep , Heef
treated In the ordinary way spoils after n
day , and the regulations for many of the
markets are such that It must bo thrown
away. Dried beef or Jerked beef is used
for stows , It is cooked with rice , potatoes
and mandloca , and every ono uses It.
li'orluncM lit Mcii-U ItnlNliiK ,
So far there has been no business of this
kind to tjpcak of in Paraguay. The coun
tries of Uruguay and the Argentine make
fortunes by shipping dried meat to Brazil
and the \Vcst India Inlands , Hero the
money comes olilclly from the sale of cattle
tlo oa foot and from their hldos. About
100,000 hides are exported from Paraguay
every year. They are sent down the rivers
( n Iluenos Ayres , and thence many of them
are shipped to the United States.
As to stack farms , the most of them are
large , but EO far thn cattle upon them are
of a low grtde. They do not compare with
thoao of the Argentine or Uruguay , and the
money made U not through careful manage
ment nor good breeding , but purely on ac
count of the rich lands and flno climate , I
am told 'Iliut the natural Inorcaso of the
stock Is from 25 to 35 per rent annually , ns
to the number of animals , and from SO to 00
per rent as to the number ot cows. Cattle
aru now worth In the neighborhood of $10 a
head , although good fat beeves wll | bring
inoro nt the , markets. It is estimated that
the country will support eight times as many

cattle as It now lias. The estimate Is that a
equalo mlle of pasture will maintain 2GO cat
tle , and that a tijuaro league will feed 1,500
grown beo\es.
Land la Paraguay Is sold by the square
league. A Paraguayan lenguo contains 5.7CO
acres , or almost 1,000 acres less than a
square league of the Argentine Republic.
Land soils all the way from $100 gold up
ward per league. TUere Is lltllo good laud
that can le had at the lowest price , for at
that it wguld bring less than 2 cents an acre.
Hut I have seen what I urn told is fair graz
ing land sold at $700 a league , and there are
times when you can buy fairly good pasture
for less than this. Such land requires only
fcnciing to make it usable. The cattle upon
it might bo herded without fencing , but tills
would throw It open to all and is not consid
ered advisable.
I would say , however , that no purchases
Miou'lo1 bo made by our people without per
sonal Investigation. The man who thlnUs of
putting his money In Paraguay should come
hero and study the conditions. Ho should
not buy without seeing the land , as there are
largo swamps In some parts of the country ,
and the rainy season covers such lands with
water.
The KnrrMH of rariiKiniy.
The forests ot Paraguay are full of fine
wooilB. I believe they offer good chances
for investment , but still the wheels of Dame
Fortuno'u lumber cars in South America
are clogged with natural dllllcultles , which
can only bo understood by those upon the
ground. There is a big demand for lum
ber in all the South American countries.
I found Oregon pine at all the ports of the
west coast , and our Maine pine cornea to
nrazll , Uruguay , the Argcutlno and goes
oven around through the Strait of Magellan ,
This pine is carried a distance of more than
0,000 miles by ship to the IJuenos Ayres
markets. Hero in Paraguay the forests ore
right on the river with a water communi
cation as good as that of the Mississippi
between them and the marKets , and the
distance from hero to Ilucnos Ayrcs Is only
1,115 miles. You would think that all the
lumber of the Itio do la Plata basin would
come from Pauguay. Still It doca not.
Why ? Hecaubo it costs too much to get tbo
woods down iho river. These woods are
almost all hard. They are as heavy as
iron and when you put a log on the water
It sinks to the bottom. There is no means
of gutting them from the Interior to the
rher except upon the railroad , whore
freights are high , or upon parts or on boats
oa the little streams which are tributaries
ot the Paraguay. Lumber carriage is all
paid for .by the pound , and the freights cut
the profits out of the business. Labor is
low as far as dally wages are concerned ,
but ns measured by results It is high. Tbo
men are Jaiy and Ineuldcnt. There la no
machinery. Tbo iopa ore bawcd out by
baud , one man btaudlng on top and another

And still some Kinds of the woods are
wonderfully beautiful. Quebracho Coloiado
is ns red ns the dark mobs rose. It is
used for dye wood and tanning , and there
is a German firm that is shipping a largo
amount of it to the United Status. The best
of It comes from the west bank ot the Para
guay river in what is known ns the Para
guayan Chaeo. This wood is also used for
railroad ties. It brings about $1 gold a lie
In Duonos Ayres , and this , I am told , leaves
a profit of 33 cents a tie.
AVoinlVlilfh Will Ilroiik an Ax.
Another very hard wood Is the lepacho ,
which Is albo used for railroad purposes. It
Is M > hard that It will jnrn the edge of a
steel ax. This Is a very sound wood , not
piono to crack and of great strength. It Is
of a greenlsh-yoHow color , and some varllles
of It have a curl In It HKe the bird's eye
maple. It brings good prices. Lcpacbo
would make very good furniture wood , and
so would many of the other hard woods ot
Paraguay.
The black and red palms , for Instance ,
would bo valuable for veneering , for they
take ft high polish and arc wonderfully dur
able. They win last for years underground
and in the water , and are exceedingly hard.
I should think that an Aincilcan furniture
factory establish in Paraguay would pay
well. The country now Imports Its furniture
fiom Germany , Austria and the United
States. Doth Uiuguay and Paraguay get the
most of their fmulture- from the same
sources , and the prices of all such things are
remarkably blgh , I saw American school
desks being landed from & ship at ono of the
towns of rower Paraguay. American debks
and chairs nro in demand all over South
America , but owing to their high prices are
not generally used.
Paraguay lias a very good cedar , much
like that of our cigar boxes , which could bo
used for the making of furniture. A Hlinllar
wood Is the tlmbo , found in South Paraguay ,
it has a grain much HKo the cedar , and
grows to great height. It Is very light , the
Indians using it for troughs and canoes ,
Aiut'rli'iiii Ti' < iill1.
Speaking of our trade with Paraguay , it
is comparatively very small. There are
many things In which It might be increased
and this matter of furniture is one. Cheap
furniture Is needed. It should bo sent
knocked down so that it couM bo put to
gether upon landing.
Wo uhouM also Bell Paraguay cotton and
woolen goods. At present 5 per cent of
Euch articles are furnished < l > y England am )
Germany. There Is no cloth of any kind
made In Paraguay. The black woolen
ehawla wortt by the women como from
Germany and Belgium , and.the cottons arji
ohtolly from England. There IB no reason
why they thould not come from our mills.
It is the same wUi ! b-rdware. The most
IIQUsclil Is German , although it is made
after American patterns , and. certain
classes of articles are sold under American
trade marks. The Impression obtains
o\oiytthero that the American hardwaio is
the host. Kor this reason the Germans
Imltato It. It Is tbo same with sewing
machines , the German Imitations of the
American makes ibelng actively pushed. I
find the Germans here , as everywhere , the
most active commercial clement. They have
se\or.tl largo stores in Asuncion , and they
send their travelers to the towns of the
Interior.
The most of our business with Paraguay
Is done through Ducnos Ayrci , . Wo Imvo
no direct connection with the merchants of
Asuncion , and bnvo to pay the Argentine *
a toll on all our trade. It there was an
American bank nt Hucnos Ayrcs with a
branch hero , It would materially hrlp mat-
leiH and the hank branch would pay. Ono
Paraguayan Importer tells mo that ho Is
selling a great < lcal of American goods. Me
says that credits are not at all bad , and
cites ns an Instance that in a business < if
1100,000 gold last year ho bus lost only
$500 , and much of this ho expects to collect.
( 'OlIIM-HMlOMH Illlll StOC'If rilllllllllllfM.
I don't know that much money could bo
made by stock companies in Paraguay. A
gas plant nml an electric street car planter
or an electric light plant might pay In
Asuncion. The city has 30,000 people , and
still uses coal oil. A concession might begotten
gotten for electricity , and the street car
lines which are now doing a fair business
with mules would pity with electric cars.
Coal , however , is high , and the ccht.of gen
erating the electricity would be great. Not
withstanding the largo forests , the firewood
of Asuncion In sold in little bundfes at the
markets. A bundle costs C tents and the
average housekeeper buys her wood from
day to day and carries It homo along with
her vegetables and meat.
Paraguay IUIH , I am told , good tobacco
and cotton lands , and plantations for raining
these articles might bo established were it
not that there la no labor to work them.
The Paraguayans do not care to work. They
are poor enough , but they desplso over-exor
cise , They rocclvo very fair wages for this
continent. The Paraguayan dollar la only
worth 15 cents. It often falls below that ,
and It rlsiti and falls every week. As to
wages , bricklayers get five of thcHO dollars
lars a day , carpenters the same , and com
mon workmen about three. Track layers
oa the railroad are paid about { 3 CO , on-
