cans have ample security in the records OF tne
last two years for confidence in the Govern
ment's action on any Gillian questions which
may have arisen.
1t is matter of current rumor, although we
cannot youch for the truth of the statement
that when the peace commission representing
the Congressional party went under safe-conduct
from Valparaiso 20 Santiago to negotiate with
Balmaceda, it was exposed to great danger
Mr.. Montt. who is now in Washington, was
member of that delegation. 1t has been re-
ported that threats of ynching were made, and
steps taken by the Balmaceda Administration
to violate the safe-conduct, and that Minister
Egan interfered on behalf of the ENJOYS, COM
PEELED the authorities to redeem their pledges
and prevented the seizure and summary execu-
tion of Mr.. Montt and his associates.
If these reports are true, services which were
then most useful to the representatives OF the
Congress sionaI party are il-requitei If the Junta
be now attempting to secure the surrender OF
former enemies VINO may have taken refuge
under the roof of the American Legation
Under these circumstances the CHILEAN Govern
ment may proitably exercise the same modera-
ton toward the vanquiShed which was shown
by our own Government at the close OF the
American Civil War; There can be no greater
national virtue than magnanimity in triumph
1t rebounds to country's glory In future ages
and is always the wiSest policy.

MAGNANIMITY IN TRIUMPH.

In its comments upon the recent Gillian
rumorS The TRIBUNE asserted that If serious
affronts had been offered to the American Min
lister it would be necessary for the United States
Government to protect him and possibly to call
upon the European Powers to unite with it in
protesting against wantOn violation of interna-
tional usage. This has been wrongly construed
in some quarters as an invitation to violate the
Nome e Doctrine. All that we had in mind was
that if the American Minister were subjected
t. espionage and not allowed to receive visitors
at his home or to communicate freely with his
Government the other foreign legations would
be justified in uniting with him in protesting
against an unwarrantable violation OF interna-
tiona comfy. That is very different thing
from encouraging European interference in the
political affairs of nations on this continent
1t is unnecessary to urge upon so patriotic an
Administration as that of President Harrison
the obligation to uphold time-honored canons
of American diplomacy 1t has been cOnspc-
nous from the outset in It's loyalty to the Monroe
Doctrine TIE TRIBUNE is certainly the last
American Journal to recommend the remuneration

foreign legations in Santiago against lack of
Diplomatic cvility on the part of the Junta would

The question of asylum in diplomatic lega-
tons is difficult one, requiring for its solution
a critical examination Of long array OF prace-
dan's The Administration had somewhat
similar, although not by any means parallel,
case in the Barrunda affair, and it arrived In
the ond at a most satisfactory conclusion. We
doubt not that it will be equally successful in
the Chi ian complication. The country knows
by experience that in diplomatic controversies
neither is its honor compromised nor are its
material interests impaired by the present Adj
ministration's conduct OF foreign affairs. Amer-

FREE-TR4DE VAPORING.

Mr.. Mills has favored the Ohio voters with
Characteristic Free Trade concentrations, but he
is neither as practical nor as honest as the De-
mccracy of that State. The sweeping assertions
which he makes respecting the taxes paid by
consumers in consequence of duties on imports
commit him irrevocably to the policy of Free
Trade. If consumers are to be delivered from
all the evils and burdens Of a tariff which he
considers monstrouS and inequitable, some meth
cd must be devised for meeting the interest on
the National debt and providing for the current
expenses Of the Government The Ohio De-
mocracy has not shrked its responsibility in
this matter. 1t wants Free Trade, but it is
willing to take the English system of income
taxation with SOcialistic notifications. Mr.
Mills ought at least to be as candid as the Ohio
Democracy. Why does he not speak out plainly
and recommend the revival of the most unpOp-
ular and inquistorial of the war taxes?
Mr. Mills may lack courage as a practical
financier, but he is a blatant Free-Trade the
orist, ready at all times to take the Protection
bull by the horns. In his Ohio speeches he dis
poses of the wage question summary. high
tariff, he asserts, makes low wages and low
tariff high wages. In order to prove this state
ment to be anything more serious than Free
Trade buncombe he ought to have compared
the wage-schedules trade by trade in England
and the United States and shown that worlmen
were better paid under the low than under the
high tariff lie does not attempt this impoS-
sbe task, but rushes breathlessly into another
peneralization-that the Protective Tariff is
throttIing American agriculture" This is an
unfortunate year for that sort of political vapor-
ing. With the exports of breadstuffs and meat
products expanding in volume and promising 10
exceed the shipments of all recent years, the
American farmer is not to be imposed upon by
silly Trades against Protection. If Mr.. Mills
wants good illustration of the throttling OF
agriculture he can find it in England, where
every od-time farming industry has been ire
trievaby' damaged under Free Trade.

and lie? Why is there seen no comparison Oh
n,ices m sustain the assertions then made? why
is the whole issue dropped, as if it were OF no
account as IL it never had influenced voters
and never should have Influenced votesr is
it not about time to ask Democratic Journals
to submit, if they are able, little evidence III
support of their assertions?
Certainly years experience under the new
tariff is quite enough to test its workings III
this particular. Longer time may be required
70 determine whether new manufacturing estao-
lshments in satisfactory number will spring up
,,rdor the operation of new duties. But single
wear is much more than enough to determine
the effect on prices, if it be true that foreign
prices control American markets, and that the
duties are always added to the price charged
consumers All the provisions OF the new tam
have been in effect for several months. An
honest test of the tariff by its results Is for the
first time possible. Why is not that test ap-
MED by any Democratic or Reform" journal?
II is not the desire of THE TRIBUNE to accuse
anv Of them OF dishonesty. But why is there
no appeal to the facts to support the most I'M
portant assertion by which the elections OF last
year were carried
The whole world knows. Ihere DDS peeh
no advance in retail prices of products to con-
sumers. Here and there a few articles may
be found which are little higher than year
ago, while many others may be found which
are little lower. Neither has there been any
advance during the last year in wholesale prices
of commodities. On the contrary, there has
been some decline. In any and every sense
prices are lower than they were before the
new tariff was adopted. Commodities cost less
on the whole than they cost year ago. The
cost of materials for manufacture is less than
it was, so that there has not been the enhance
ment predicted in the cost of production. The
cost of living is less for the workingmen in this
country There is no longer an excuse, no
longer even decent pretext, for the claim that
the new tariff has made living more costly to
consumers. But it would be extremely incOn-
yenient for Democratic journals to place before
their readers the conclusive proof that they had
been deceiving, in the arguments upon which
the election turned last year. Hence they dodge
the whole subject and hope that the good people
will forget it.

THE QUESTION OF PRICES.

II nav be well to take notice, good people
of this country, that one argument, most con-
spcuousy used by Democratic newspapers last
wear, has gone absolutely cut of sight. The one
thing most constantly asserted then is not now
repeated at ALL Nobody has the audacty to
,eiterate it this year. The argument was that
prices Of everything would be higher I'm conse-
auence Of the new tariff Many people were
made to believe it a year ago. Why is there
mo sort or attempt to create the same impression
now?
Il is a good time to consider whether the
pretence which was so effective year ago had
any truth in it, If it had, why is it no longer
urged as part of campaign literature? 1t was
pretended at that time that material advance
in prices was the necessary result of the Pro-
tective policy. The ta'in, ii was falsely AS
serted had raised the rates of duty on nearly
all articles The amount of the duty, it was
falsely asserted, was always added " the cost
Of products charged the consumer. If all this
was true, what product has advanced in price?
WHY are there no elaborate columns OF quota
tons showing the rise in prices? Does any
body suppose that the fraudulent statements Of
a wear ago have been forgotten by voters in all
parts Of the country? Is it conceivable that
the Democratic newspapers would not have ar
fayed great masses Of evidence to susthin their
assertions of last year if such evidence could
have been found?
Either one thing or the other must be the
fact. If the prices of commodities have greatly
advanced, if the cost of living is really much
higher than it was year ago, why is the fact
not widely displayed for the information OF
voter? Why is theIe no evidence submitted
to prove that the most conspicuous and Of
fective argument of last year was not fraud

The President has done wisely to postpone the
conference with Canadian representatives. which
had been fixed for October IL. 1t is quite idle
to discuss trade relations with Government which
simply wishes TO sell us those classes of goods
which we already produce for export without being
willing to take our manufactures in return. The
Canadian Tories want to get the sort of agree
ment that will mean on our part " all give and no
take" Undoubtedly their attitude toward the
negotiation has undergone great change since the
death Of Sir John Macdonald. His intention was
beyond a doubt to cause the failure Of the nego-
tiaton, that he might reply to Grit agi-
taton that the United States were averse to Reel
procty. Premier Abbott, however, is the SER
want, not the master, of Canadian public senti-
ment lie perfectly understands that all classes
Of Canadians are anxious for wider and better
trade arrangements with the States, and SO far
us he realize their wish without breaking faith
with the manufacturers who with the boodlers"
have supplied his party with its reptile fund.-"
undoubtedly ne will wish to do SO. The trouble
is that there is no way Of satisfying them and
the United States also. In any event, while the
Canadian Government skates on such thin ice as
that which now supports them, they would better
be left alone.
