To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
S1R-Your article OF the 23d inst. and my letter
OF the 10th having attracted much attention to
the subject OF the forthcoming International Ex-
position OF Chill, as the many inquiries from our
people daily attest, presume upon your care for
the public wish, and herewith furnish you with
items Of information generally desired.
First, this lair is the second International one
the Republic OF Chill has instituted, the first one
having been held IN 1869. That one was hardly
brought to the notice Of the people of the United
States, and the result was q most miserable
exhibition OF our products. Another result,
very much against our interests, has been
that the countries which were then well rep
resented have since enjoyed a very large
and lucrative trade In the prominent arti-
cles exhibited, as for example, agricultural
implements. in which we excel, undoubtedly, all
other nations. But our implements were not
there. The Chilian people are too intelligent not
to understand that very many Of their wants may
be better, and more advantageously supplied from
the United states than from any part OF Europe
They have, therefore, taken unusual pains at this
time to invite and to encourage u.s. and have MADE
the United States especial exception IN the
extension OF the time during which applications
