For the fall and winter trade he has
more than trebled his stock in all depart

discretion in making purchases. He
spent four weeks in person in eastern
markets in the selection of his stock

cash, and he can afford to give his cash
customers the benefit ofhis ra,e bargains.
He makes no plea OIL the strength of old
acquaintance-but he does not hesitate
to say that his goods are speaking

employs his own capital, and he believes

''Under his administration rich land
owners launched out into various enter
prises. The Government encouraged the
building of railroads in every con ceivable
direction, and the most amazing schemes
were projected. Now, there is great
deal of education among the Chilians of
the younger school The sons of the
older families have been sent to Europe
to study in foreign colleges. The result
is that, returning, they have introduced
modern ideas almost everywhere. One
going TO Santiago is impressed at once
with these thoughts.
"Naturally these progressive ideas
have been communicated to the masses
OF the people and the result has been n
growing feeling of discomfort over the
fact that the wealthy aristocrats were
clearly plotting to perpetuate their con-
troll of the Government. They realized
that the power enjoyed by the President of
naming his successor might in its abuse
result in the establishment of heredi-
tary Presidency. They saw, moreover,
that Balmac was determined TO carry
through his schemes of opening up the
whole country by railroads, and was
spending immense amounts OF money, as
they thought, unnecessarily, and impos
ing heavy burden of debt on the Ma
tion. 1t was a part of the Liberal policy
to build up powerful navy, and to do
this they had secured from England the
costliest war vessels. | remember that
when the Esmeralda was bought, she
was considered the most terrific era ne

England. With her navy, which COM
prises such ironclads as the Blanco Enca-
