CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 23.--Anselmos
Morago, who represented Chill att
the Pan-American Congress, arrived
at the Grand Pacific this evening. AZ
He is journeying homeward ana 81
seems to be in n hurry to get out Of
America. la
"rhc PAN American Congress- she;sss
said evil lot do this country one
bit of good. 1t was foolish expen-
diturc of Uncle Sans money, and it
might as well have been saved. B
Look at the intended trip throug6sS
the South. Just one delegate would
have gone. We have seen enough 81 y
of this country and want to get
home. We are more than satisfied II
that the United States does not
want the trade of the Spanish coun-
tries. Some Of the merchants arc
in sympathy with lis but they are
powerless. Your government does
not want to trade with us, and if we &
had known that eight months ago
the invitation to look over your in.
dustries would never have been ac-
ceptcd. To-day the United States
stands with massive stone wall
around it. We SEQ no place to en-.
ter, and we can't very we'll tear it,
down to bring in our goods.
DIsGUsrED wIrH PROTECTION.
"The cry of protection has hear
tily disgustcd all Of the Spanish dele
gates, and they will be only too
glad to get home and begin the
work of bettering our trade rela.$
tions with foreign countries. We
do not ask you to allow manufac-S3
tured goods to enter free Of duty
Free trade, in every sense Of the
word, would be injurious to the
United States and almost as bad as
tho present state. / do not think
that Chill will feel quite so friendly
to this country after this. Our g6Y-.s
ernment has taken off all duties on
all kinds of machinery and every
week mining machinery from this
country is shipped to Chill. We do
not charge you q duty, yet whonswei
try to send our wool here you shut
out our trade by high tariff. We
arc net going to force our trade
upon you. 81 s.s
NOT WORTH TWO CENTS.
eve feel sorry that the expensive
trip over the United States willnot
be worth two cents to the people
who so royalty entertained us, but Is
that is not our fault. 1t lies entirely
with your Government. If your
tariff laws had been amended before
we came thcr. the result would hayes 4
been totally different. We have
seen nat grand country yon have
here, but before the Government
gets ready to trade with us it is pos
siblc We will have forgotten YOU"

than there were soldiers in all the
