evolution of the Spanish American races from
ignorance and vice, conditions that tyrants al
ways turn to their own account, to enlghteh-
ment and genuine freedom.
Chill has long been considered the best gov
erned of all the South American states. The
nonulatiOn is the most homogeneous. Gillian
cities are not Vanity Fairs wherein every race
and tribe are exhibited, but towns that thlob
with national life and that show a population
sneal,iug one tongue and marked by common
characteristics. The people are intelligent, too
and valiant, and 4 number of them vastly
greater than in other countries OF spanish
American origin participate in affairs This
has exerted an excellent effect upon the Gov
eminent of Chill. II has observed discretion
and a Difference to public sentiment such as are
not seen elsewhere in the Southern Continent.
But. after ali, it is a despotism. The head OF
the State exercises supreme functions. The
army. the navy and the Congresses are his
obcdent slaves. Ills rule is absolute unless
checked by some daring rival, who under the
pretence of saving the country, is willing TO
stake his head on his ambition.
The danger to the United States in these crises
arises from the disposition Of Europeans to in
terfere. the while pretending that they are mere
Iy defending their own commercial interests.
I'm Chill and the Argentine, the most progress
sive commercial countries OF South America,
we have permitted England TO obtain mo-
nopoy OF trade. We have talked Justify about
the Monroe Doctrine" while Great Britain
has been building ships and opening markets.
British subjects to-day hold a chattcl mortgage
over Chill and the Argentine so large as to
give their Government a tangible excuse Tor
undertaking to exert controlling political IN
nuence whenever il is thought that British in
tercsts would thereby be served. To ChllanS
especially the Grea' Republic is As remote and
strange Us the Flowcry Kingdom, while Great
Britain is regarded aS IN some sense national
protector. No American who wishes his coun-
try to possess the influence in commerce and
affairs to which it's position among the NATIONS
entities it can be pleased with this situation.

TIE SLLYER SPECELATORS.

1t has been reported very widely, IN such
WAYS as to imply definite knowledge on the
part OF somebody, that members OF Congress
and others had personal interests in speculation
which their votes on the silver question were
likely to affect. The testimony elected by the
Committee OF Investigation yesterday does not
tend to diSsipate these rumors. One person Is
quoted in public prints as saying (not to the
Committce) that. if he could be called in the
courts. where there would be power to compel
the attendance of witnesses and the production
of books. he would tell all that he knew with
out hesitation, and that there was IN fact an
organization Interested in the prico of silver
embracing men from the Atlantic 10 the Pa
cific. some in high official places, and some IN
and out of Congress. 1t is not to be tolerated
that such statements should pass without UNI
sparing scrutiny. The Committee surely has
power large enough to compel the production
Of evidence such as these reports indicate.
The principle behind this investigation APP
pealS to the appreciation of every right thinking
citizen Of both parties. No man can deny that
legislation calculated to affect the interests OF
the whole country should not in any case be
influenced by the speculative operations OF
members % Congress- If past legislative action
has been so influenced it is the first duty oi
Congress to bring home the responsibility to
individuals that all may know how far their
personal interests have affected their action
If there is no truth in the various current re-
ports it j. due 70 all concerned that they should
be thoroughly Investigated and current sus-
picions dspclled. II ought to be The first de-
mand Of advocates Of silver coinage that there
should be full, unSparing and p.iilasS inquiry
rs to the matters Of which reports are widely
circulated. II ought 10 be their iccng that
no action in either house Is proper until there
has been full invest cation 10 clear away the
suspicion OF personal interest or until such in
ye,tica)ion has confined reasonable suspicion
TO individuals That is certainly the feeling
Of the people Let the con>ure fall wherever
it may. the public want, the Whole truth. II
the Commit will act in thai SplrIt, II VIII be
heartily sustained lay public opinion. should it
be restrained by Congress a any step the pub
lie will soon see whose Interest II appears to
be to prevent further inquiry.
