OUR TROUBLE WITH CHILE.

tits pretty fix the Administration
has got US into with Chile through Its
obstiDacy in refusing to recall our OBJ
noxious Minister, EGAN.
Nothing but peace and good will
should exist between the leading Re-
public of the world and the liberty-lov-
ing people of Chile, who have but just
gone through bloody war for consti-
tutional government. There is no reas-
on on earth for the bitter feeling against
US there, except what is to be found
in the conduct Of our intermeddling
representative. EGAN through his par
tisanhip for BALMACEDA rendered him
self inimical and most obnoxious to the
people of Chile. OF course, EGAN
grossly mlsrepresented the Ameri-
can people, and yet when our
government refused to recall him
what was Chile to suppose but that
his actious were in accord with the
wishes of his superiors at Washington.
Hence the bitter feeling against this
country in Chile. Hence the attacking
and numbering of American seamen.
And hence the dissemination OF the
Chilean Junta to apologize through the
obnoxious EGAN.
In this Chile is decidedly wrong, of
course, and will doubtless see the neces-
sity of respecting international law and
keeping the good opinion of the civilized
world by giving the required indemnity
to the sufferers OF the Baltimore and an
apology to the flag she has insulted,
rather than go through the complicated
process of arbitration to settle so simple
a difficulty.
And the United States on its side
owes it to Chile to withdraw a represen-
tative who is persona non gratd at the
r-,s.ft.u

is said the women members OF the
Church made all sorts OF fun OF the
minister's wife's clothes. Mr.. STEELE
attempted to explain TO his flock that the
clothes worn by his wife were in
perfect harmony with the styles
of Scotland, and while they might look
tribe out of place here, he assured them
they would be changed in time. They
cost good deal of money, he said, and
they could not afford TO cast them aside.
Still the finger was pointed at the Scotch
couple, and it was alleged that Mr.
STEELE, whose patience was exhausted,
said some very ugly things to those
members of his congregation who per-
sisted in making light OF his wife's
dress. The members dignity was
aroused and they appealed to the Pres
bytery, the result being that the young
minister rendered his resignation.
The female portion Of Mr.. STEELE's
congregation ought to feel heartily
ashamed Of themselves by this time.
But it is doubtful if they have enough
common sense and delicacy to feel as
bad as they ought TO. AS for religious
feeling they evidently haven't any that
extends past the bonnet in the pew
in font.

WHO DEmONETIZ SD SILVER?

The Republicans claim they want an
honest silver dollar. JOhN oHEI'Nr1Evr7
the standby and financial god OF the Re-
publicans, and here is SHEEMAN's rec
cord as briefly summoned up by con-
temporary: ~
In 1866. when John Sherman visited Eu-
rome. silver coin equally with gold coin was
a basis of circulation and credit. After
leaving London Mr.. Sherman visited Paris
and wrote TO Mr. Ruggles his celebrated
letter advocating the single gold standard.
He returned to the United States ana at
tempted to secure q report OF the Senate
Finance Committee, Of which he was chair
man. in favor of rejecting silver and adopt
ing the gold standard, but failed. In 1919
ne cousummated his scheme and 'demone-
tiled silver without attracting tue
attention of his associates in the Senate or
the country at large. At that time IT was
estimated pv statlsticians that there were
about $500, 900, 600 of metallic money IN
the country, about half of which was gold,
and the other half silver. The gold com
and the silver coin of the world were OF
eoual value az the ratio established by law.
Both coins We're a full legal tender for their
nominal value and served as bank re
serves throughout the commercial world.
There was no discrimination Tor any puF-
pose against either metal. The great banks
and moueyed institutions Of the CONNER
cial world are now confined to gold for their
reserves. They measure the credits Oh
the world in gold alone. There Is no ma
terial increase in the gold coin of the world
since silver was demonetized.
According to the director of the mint
the entire stocks of gold coin in the
whole world is only S3,727, 00O,0 COO.
When gold and silver were both used as
money and as basis Of credit the bust
ness and credit Of the world rested on
seven thousand five hundred millions OF
coin. The credit and business Of the
world to-day rest upon less than hall
that amount. This contraction of the
worlds money has produced stagnation
contraction and hard times, and will
continue TO do so as long.aS the single
gold standard is maintained. All the
disaster that has followed the demone
tization of silver may be charged Il
JOHN SHERMAN, who, if not the Origina
designer, is the man who consummateC
the wrong. An Endorsement of SHERMAN
would be an Endorsement of all the evi
consequences resulting from the reiec
ton Of one of the precious metals a.
money. But for JOHN SHERMAN Their,
would be no silver question; the obliga
ton of contracts would not have beer
increased; it would have been easie
for the farmers to pay their debts

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
An Arrest on a Charge of Perjury,
Growing out Of a License.

Growing Out Of a License.
The East Liverpool Crisis says:
"On the Cd OF this month young man
named McNicol, of Martins Ferry, and
a Young lady named Mills, of the
same place, to whom the young
man had been paying atten-
tons, were visiting at the home of
the lady's grandfather, Samuel Van
Horn, in Kensington, this county and
while there resolved TO get married.
The grandfather accordingly went to
New Lisbon on that day and procured
the necessary license and the couple
were married at his house on the Sd. 1t
seems the young man was not Of age and
his father took exceptions to the match.
He according had warrant issued for
the arrest Of Van Horn, on the charge
of perjury in the procuring OF the license
from the Probate Court. Marshal Gill
made two trips to Kensington last week
on the hunt of the old man, but failed
in his search each time. Mr. Van
Horn, however, got wind OF the pro-
ceedings, and coming to this city yes
terday had preliminary hearing be-
fore Mayor Hall, where he denied all
the charges, except the procuring OF
the license, which he claims was done
/ in a fair and square manner, without
! any swearing, and gave bond OF 500
/ for his appearance before the next
/ grand jury. The lady is of marriagable
/ age"

THOSE INCREASED PRICES.

Gov. RUSSELL, of Massachusetts,, has
stirred up the Mckinley organs to a
state bordering on apoplexy by his
quotation Of the market prices Of tariff
taxed goods before the Mckinley bill
went into effect and now. The Boston
Advertiser in referring to the list says;
"How in the name of common sense is
one TO prove the firms prices incorrect
Whom those who quote the prices refuse 10
Give any clew TO the firms identity
The Boston Herald replies that those
prices are not offered as this firms prices
alone; they are offered as the general
market prices. If the general market
does not sustain them, Of coure they
fall. That is the test the Governor in
vlted; it is the test the men who made
them-very largely Republicans, by
the way-challenge. This firm was
asked to furnish the prices because it
was a firm that knew the market,
having daily dealings with it. The
evidence of intelligent men was wanted;
il was sought for and procured here.
The Herald adds.

At the New Jail.

Murray Bros, the contractors for the
new Jail, are making excellent progress
with the brick work, and a couple OF
weeks more ought to see the walls up to
the roof line, so far as the jail building
proper is concerned. They are now
about twenty feet above the floor Of the
cell building, while the front building
is little higher. Work or the resi-
dence is also we'll advanced. The whole
building is now in such a stage that
something of its real appearance can be
seen, and it will be a handsome struc-
ture, and an ornament to that quarter
of the city.

The Wheeling and Lake Erie Connection

Mr.. James Hall, the general passen-
ger agent of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie railroad, called on number OF
business men, yesterday, and found
among them the greatest interest in the
arrangement agreed upon between the
w. & l.. E. and the Terminal, and the
hope was expressed many times that
trains might be got running as speedily
as possible, as there would be plenty OF
business offered. 1t is likely that the
trains will be running In about two
weeks The distance between Wheel
ing and Cleveland, via the new line, will
be 1873 miles, or seven miles shorter than
the nearest route available at present.
and the run will be made in five hours.
The distance to Toledo is 900 miles, and
it will take nine hours to make the run.

Released From Jail.

William McCulloch, the man charged
with hitting Charles Graham with bot
tie, over a week ago, was taken before
Justice Rodgers, yesterday, and was re-
leased on 5000 bail. Later some ques
tion as to the right of the Justice to do
this, he not being the committing JUS
tice, was raised, and McCulloch was
asked to report TO Justice Ankle at seven
o'clock last evening. He was there at
the appointed time, but as Justice Ar
kle was out Of the city, nothing was
done.

FALL OF A DERRICK.
An Unfortunate Accident at the Stone
Bridge.


Bridge
About half-past ten o'clock yesterday
morning, while the workmen at the
stone bridge were. swinging heavy
stone. intended for the southeast wing
wall. into place, the big derrick which
stood on the top of the south abutment
gave way, the boom breaking off few
feet from the lower end. The big
stone, which was swinging in the air,
carried the broken boom down on top
of the abutment with great force, and
the boom falling on top Of a loose
stone living on the abutment, had about
eight feet of its upper end broken on,
and the remainder so splintered ana
broken as to be useless for anything
but kindling wood hereafter. The
recoil from the broken boom kicked
the mast of the top OF the
abutment, and while it did not fall, being
partly sustained by the guys, it was use
less until replaced. A gang ofmen went
to work at once, rigging up temporary
timber with which to lift the mast bac X
into its position on the abutment, and 1t
is thought that by tonight the derrick
will be in working order again. Very
fortunately, none Of the men were hurt
The accident came at very bad time,
as accidents always DO. The masonS
were rushing the wing walls all they
knew how, taking advantage Of the good
weather, and they will be knocked out
at least two days by the accident.
Work in other regards is progressing
All the spiles are in. They will soon bt
all cut off.

one hundred more would have over
crowded it. Wheeling is growing and

rae rRUsr-BREEDING TARIFF.

The New York World publishes list
of % trusts, all Of them hurtful and all
of them fostered aud, sustained by the
Mckinley tariff. The list is exceeding
ly lengthy and interesting. Eleven Of
these monopolies come under tariff
schedule A.-chemicals; 10 under sched-
ule B-earthenware; % under C.-met-
ais; 5 under D-woOd and wooden
wares; one under E.-sugar-the Glu-
cose Trust; under Tobacco; -
under provisions; 3 under H
liquors; under I-rubber and cottons;
under hemp, jute and flax; under
K.-wool and woolens; under M
books, paper, &C.; under N.-sundries;
one miscellaneous. This list embraces
many smaller combines, several hundred
in number.
Mr.. HARRISON in his letter accepting
the Republican nomination said:
The declaration Of the convention against
all combinations of capital, organized IN
Trusts or otherwise, to control arbitrarily
the condition of trades among our citizens,
is in harmony with the views entertained
and publicly expressed by me long before
the assembling of the convention.
And the Republicans took great credit
to themselves in voting for the Sherman
Antitrust law. What has become Of
that law since its passage? 1t is a dead
letter. The trusts never fouriShed
more arrogantly than they do to-day
under the Republican tariff created for
their sole benefit. They are all heavily
protected and they represent a manufac-
turing capital OF at least 50, 600, 100000.
In none of these lines of industry can a
man Of moderate means engage without
the consent of the trust controlling 1t.
II he wants in he must bend his neck to
the yoke of the syndicate which controls
the home market by virtue Of the Re-
publican tariff.
Were it not for the tariff these
trusts could not exist in their pre-
sent hurtful form. The industries
would remain in the hands of individ-
uals. The trusts occupation would be |
gone. The high tariff not only fosters !
trusts but renders their formation inev-
liable, for the purpose of controlling
the home market, keeping up prices and !
keeping down wages.
This is why prices have gone up all
along the tariff line and wages have
gone down since the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill.
