EXCITEMENT AT SANTIAGO.

\ silly Rumor that the CHILEAN Legation
in Washington Had Been Attacked-The
Chilian Government Inclined to be
Bumptious.
SANTIAGO. Chilli, Oct. 2S.-This city is
in fever of excitement tonight caused
by report that the CHILEAN legation in
Washington had been attacked
The government to-day replied to
United States Minister Egan's demand
for reparation for the recent attack
upon the United States steamer Balti-
more's crew. It is a refusal to
accept responsibility for the affair.
Minister Egan has notified the state
department at Washington, and to-
night is consulting with Consul Nc
Creepy and Capt. Schley.
Decisive action is looked for very
quickly. The authorities of Valparaiso
have gone so far as to refuse to guaran-
tee the safety of market boats sailing
to that city from the United States
warship Baltimore, or the safety of Off
GERS of that vessel coming ashore at
night.
Minister Egan, it is said, has noti-
fed his government that the crew of
the Baltimore are practically boycotted,
and no American sailors are permitted
to land at this port.

THE "HONEST MONEY" PARTY.
Fraudulent Methods of the NIinions OF
MONOPOLY.

Fraudulent Methods of the Minions OF
Monopoly.
There is but one possible definition
of an ''honest dollar"-as the republic
ans employ that term. It is dollar
that would be worth just as much I'M
stamped as though the government had
stamped it. 1t is dollar intrinsically
worth its weight in gold, stamped or
unstamped.
The gold dollar is, according to this
defnit OIL, an honest dollar on it's
merits, because 25S grains In bar are
worth 25S grains in coin. 1t is an honest
dollar because 25S grains with the gov
eminent stamp are worth no more than
25S grains without the stamp.
If this is true of gold dollar, why
can it lot be made true of silver dol
lar? Silver as commodity on its COM
mercial merits has fuctuated no more
for the past fifty years than has gold.
If there is any difference in relative
fuctuation, the balance is certainly in
favor of silver.
If a man takes five gold dollars to the
mint for recoinage, he gets five dollars
back. If he takes five silver dollars to
the mint for recoinage, he only gets

silver dollars has cost one dollar, be-
cause twenty cents on each dollar are
not intrinsic, but are, in the language
of Mckinley, 1.-The mere breath of con-
gress."
1t is as plain as your hand before
your eyes, then, that the republican
party is engaged in the business OF
coming fraudulent dollars under its
own definition of an honest dollar. In
vulgar phrase it is a 'skin" dollar pure
and simple.
This crime has been known for CEN
turtles in the world as debasing coin.
Tyrants in the last shifts of desperation
have done it just as the republicans are
doing it now. They are coming annu-
ally SD, 000, 900 worth of silver dollars,
each containing only so cents worth OF
silver. The fact is patent that the sec
rotary of the treasury is paying 90 cents
for $50 grains of silver and only putting
3714 grains into the dollar that he
coins and passes off on the people.
This is an interesting party to be
talking about ''honest money" The

Effects of the Mckinley Bill TIN
Nations Finances.

Effects of the Mckinley Bill the
Nations Finances.
The effort of the secretary of the
treasury to make the governments in
come appear to equal and surpass its
| outgo is very palpable. By holding
back appropriations and by putting
every obstacle in the way of the pay
ment of the just claims of the creditors
of the government Mr.. Foster has
made it appear that his receipts for
September exceeded his expenditures
by SO, 1872, 963. But this merely shows
to all who recall the extravaganza of
the billion-dollar congress that he is
not paying the current demands on the
treasury.
A sum amo uniting to between $780,
900, 900 and $4,000, 600 due during the
first quarter of the fiscal year has been
withheld in order to make the govern
ment's books balance. In other words,
the expenditures were really about
S120, 900, 900, while the receipts were
actually 800, 097, 7S0-a deficiency for
the quarter of about $50, 900, 600, indi-
eating a deficiency for the year of
S120, 900, 900.
The prediction made by the World
more than a year ago is receiving sim
gular verifcation. On July %, 1890,
the World predicted a deficiency of
$s4, oUO, 900, assuming the correctness
of the estimate of the friends of the
Mckinley bill, who stated that that
measure would reduce the revenues
SO, 600, 900. The present Indicate is
that the reduction will reach $50, 0OO,-
900. and the difference, $50, 600, 900,
added to the SS4. 900, 900 would make
deficiency of S119, 900, 0OO.-N. Y. World.

SAUL AMONG THE PROPHETS.
The Free Trade Idea Takes q Hold on

The Free Trade Idea Takes Hold on
the President.
If a member of the cabinet mot
named) is correctly reported the presr
dent may surprise the country and dis
gust the McKinleys of his party by ap-
pearing in the character of a tariff re-
former next December. According to
the report this anonymous member OF
the cabinet would not be surprised II
the president were to recommend a
material reduction of the tariff taxes
on certain imports in order that reci-
procity treaties of range much great
err than is now warranted by the recl-
procity clause of the Mckinley bill
may be made.
The cabinet officer does not say to
what tariff taxes he refers, but he gives
hint upon which we may base guess
when he says: 1.-The markets of the old
world are far moro precious to us than
the markets of South America The
latter in time will rank with if not sur
pass those of the eastern hemisphere,
but that future is too tar away. The
present is what concerns US. This is a
business administration, and to pro-
mote the business of the country is our
most earnest desire. You have seen
the impetus resulting from Germany's
action in regard to our pork. Let ME
tell you that the benefits coming from
that are but drop in the bucket COM
pared with the benefits that will result
from treaties which we hope to make"
So we are told plainly enough that
Mr.. Harrison is going to advocate
reciprocity with Europe; in other
words, that ne is going to try to steal
the platform upon which Mr.. Cleveland
placed himself long time ago. That
is enough to cause both Mckinley and
Blaine to fan in dead swoon. 1t is
enough to cause an expression of blank
amazemept to overspread every coun-
tenance from the northeast corner of
Maine to the southwest corner of Cali
fornia.
Why, Mr.. Harrison is the man who
told the people during the period of his
candidacy in 1888 that the tariff was
tax on foreigners; and now he proposes
to take the tax off from foreigners and
put it on Americans He is the man
who swung around the circle last
spring, telling the farmers that the
ideal condition" was one in which
they would sell all their produce to
consumers from their farm wagons.
and neither buy nor sell abroad. And
now he proposes to make treaties
under which they will not only sell
more abroad but buy more abroad,
yea, even in Europe. What, then, will
BECOME of the home market? What
will become Of the American ''wage
scale?" What has happened to Harri-
son? There has been no such miracu-
lous conversion since the memorable
case of Saul of Tarsus. The dazzling

troller Matthews, in his report, states
that 90, 523 accounts, involving s., esq.,
294, 594.OS. were examined in his office
during the past year. Attention is also
directed to the fact that many govern
ment officials hold two or more offices,
and receive a salary for each. He says:
1T is not a question for the treasury
department to determine how many Of
fees one person may hold, or how
many salaries he may receive; that
question is entirely with congress, but
it is important that the compensation
to be paid and the number of offices n
person may hold should be clear and
well-defined, to the end that illegal
payments shall not be made
Comptroller Matthews. in discussing
estate claims" asks that a Limitation
be placed by congress upon the time
they may be filed, and says until con-
gress acts in the matter he will not re-
ceive claims past due twenty years.
He recommends that the appropria-
ton known as the deposits by in
dividuals for securing public lands" be
covered into the treasury, as the large
balance is a constant menace and a
standing invitation for the presenta-
ton of fraudulent claims
The collection of balances due the
comes in also for atten-
ton, and Comptroller Matthews asks
that this class of accounts be stated
yearly.

WHAT THEY WANT.

The Republican diagnosis of the po-
litical situation evidently is that the
Republicans have felt of public senti-
ment on the silver issue. and they can
recover their lost ground next year by
forcing the Democrats to meet them on
that line. Even MCKINLEY himself
tried to give his tariff the second place
in Ohio. Since the election he says he
is convinced that the judgment of the
citizens does not approve the constant
agitation of the tariff ISSUE" SHERMAN
made his fightchiehy on the silver ques-
ton, and says of its place in the can
vasS of next year, 1.-The financial battle
that we fought in Ohio will then be
transferred to the nation, and contest
such as we have never seen will be the
result" The purpose of the Republican
leaders gathers strength as they
look over the results of the late
elections. The Democrats in Mass
achusetts and New York took
emphatic ground against free coinage,
and in all the Eastern states the party
stands with Mr.. CLEVELAND Oh that
question. They believe that no state
east of Indiana can be carried OH free
coinage platform. Nor do they find i'll
dlcations that any of the Western states
can be taken away from them by the
free silver cry. Colorado is the most
extreme silver state. and yet it gave its
usual Republican majority last week.
Kansas and Nebraska have been clasSed
as among the most impOrtunate free
coinage states, but their recent voting
has left little doubt with the Repub-
llcans that they will vote with them
next year, regardless of the platform on
silver. If the Republicans are right in
this view of the situation, they would
be politically unwise not to insist upon
the financial issue. But il is very i'm
probable that the Democrats will call
upon them to make up the Democratic
budget for next year.
