THE WOOL BUNCO.
How the Farmer has Been Beguiled
by Woolen Men.
NUMBER ONE.
To the Editor of the Northwest:

To the Editor Of the Northwest:
To any wool.grower who will sit
down and consider the subject of his
protection by tariff duty on foreign
wool in the same manner that he will
investigate whether it will pay him
best to raise wheat or oats, without re-
ference to politics or religion, 1 will
undertake to prove to him:
l. That the tariff duty never added
one cent, and could not add one cent,
to the price that he received for his
wool
2. That there could be no protection
for him in a tariff duty and that his
pretended protection is a bunco game
into which he has been steered.
This is fair offer, but before he ac-
cepts it he should ask himself what
possible motive l may have in address,
ing him. The question of motive is q
very important one, for it determines
the credibility of the witness, and this
question of motive must be decided in
advance.

may be that the Europeans from

The Dictator Given Absolute Power by
the New Congress.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-South Amer
ican mails received by the bureau OF
American republics contain interesting
details OF the Chilean civil war. The
new Chilean congress convened by Bal
maceda has placed absolute power in
his hands. 1t has authorized him,
"pending the pacifcation of the coun-
try" to arrest and transport persons at
will; to augment the land and sea
forces; to expend public revenues with
out regard to estimates; to procure
money by pledging the credit. of the
state, and to suspend the right of meet
ing and the liberty OF the press.
In pursuance OF these powers, DEGREES
are published in the Diario official, re-
leasing four prominent citizens sus-
pected OF sympathy with the congress
aional revolutionists, from imprison-
ment in the Santiago prison, on their
depositing $4,000 each in the Valpar-
also national bank to the order of the
secretary of the interior, conditioned on
their not taking part in the revolution.
They are further required to reside in
Europe and not to return to Chile with
out special permission of the govern
ment. Ten or twelve other citizens are
also released from imprisonment on
similar conditions, their bonds ranging
from $4,000 up to $50 600, but with per-
mission foreman within Chilean terri
tory, provided they do not "take part
in politics.
The Almirante Lynch and the Condell,

been less successful in subsequent opera

trailieuse stationed on the custom-house
mole, to secure them against treachery

PATRIOTIC PRELATE.
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND IS A MODEL
AMERICAN.
He Takes Another Whack at the Lucerne
Memorial = The Foreign Conspirators
Handled Without Gloves.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, June 4.-Since the
publication of his interview of a few days
ago regarding Cahensley's Lucerne me-
mortal, Archbishop Ireland has had
many kilograms and letters of endorse
ment of his views. Today, in an inter-
view with an Associated Press cores
pondent, he talked further on the sub
ject. He says:
GAS the details Of the plot are unfold
ed, the indignation of the Americans,
whether Catholic or Protestant, cannot
but grow in intensity. The whole pro-
ceeding is an insult to American nation
alism, and reveals the fact that certain
Europeans imagine America to be some
sort OF an African Congo, without an
autonomy of it's own, incapable of life
without the constant application OF Eu-
ropean galvanic batteries.
Catholics are mortified that their
religion is made the occasion and pre-
tense of this insolent foreign intermed-
ding. Strange news, indeed, for Amer
ican ears to hear that the Austrian and
Prussian ambassadors in Rome have
been instructed by their home govern
ments to bring to bear upon the vatican
their influence in aid of Herr Cahensr
ley's plan of campaign!
1.-THE contagion has spread to an
extent that compels a. smile of .amuse-
ment inNthe midst of our anger. We
find Monsieur Mercier, minister of the
province of Quebec, a colony of Eng
land, running to the vatican and pray
ing in the name of his little constitu-
ency that Canadian bishop be named
for the see OF Ogdensburg, in the state of
New York. We can easily picture the
further extension of this foreign ambi-
tion to rule Catholic affairs in America,
and in few years the ecclesiastical
map of the. country. would show the
fingerings OF every foreign principality
whose emigrants choose to touch our
shores.
"This attack of foreignism upon the
church in America, however, is killed
from its own audacity. So long as it
worked stealthily by secret embassies
and back-door entrances, it was danger
GUS and was doing harm. 1t has now
entered into open combat, and the out
come will be most favorable to the
church and the country.
81 have seen an official denial of a
representative of the Deutsche Ameri-
kanischer Priester Verein, or German
Clerical society OF America, disclaiming
all knowledge of the Cahensley memo
rial What he will not deny is that the
Cahensley memorial is nearly word for
word document which the German
priests OF St. Louis, the founders of the
verein, sent to Rome in 1886; nor will
he deny that few days ago Amerika, a
paper which is fed on verein food, de-
clared openly that it will ceaselessly
work for Cahensley's programme.
Whatever of the letter. the spirit of the
Cahensley movement thrives in the
halls of the verein, and the verein is an
exotic to which American air is most
uncongenial."

suspend. The amount of the liabilities
or assets is not known to the New York

Russell & Co. were the managers
OF the largest local steamship in China.
1t was a source of great profit, and after
its sale to Chinese capitalists the, old
partners in the firm retired, taking their
fortunes with them. Since then the
profits of the China trade have not war
ranted an expensive style of conducting

would remember, In connection with
the Chesapeake incident in the harbor
OF Halifax.
81 told Mr.. Blaine that Sir John Mac
Donald and party had the strongest de-
sire to promote a reciprocal treaty be-
tween the two countries and their hopes
In that direction were greatly strength
ened by the decided measures which
Mr.. Blaine had taken to promote recip-
rocal treaties with other countries and /
could not see why he could not with
great advantage to the United States, as
well as to Canada, extend to the north
the same policy he pursued with
the countries south, whose trade
was very much smaller than that be-
tween the Dominion and the United
States. L said the fact that he had ex-
pressed his readiness to receive the
representations that Canada wished to
make, would show that he was quite
open to consider that question. l was
further strengthened in my views, ad-
ded, by the disposition he had shown
to make reciprocal arrangements with
the colony OF Newfoundland.
"Some question then arose between
Sir Julian and Mr.. Blaine, as to bond
negotiations. Sir Julian explained that
bonds had no authority to be negotiated
in any other way than through him.
Blaine said it did not appear necessary
to negotiate treaty with New
foundland as that colony had ex-
pressed its readiness to give
the United States the privileges enjoyed
by their own citizens, and they proposed
not only to give bait to United States
fishermen, but to refuse to give the same
privilege to Canada. told Mr.. Blaine
that the bait act in Newfoundland had
received the assent of her majesty upon
the distinct pledge that Canadian ves-
sells would not be affected by it. Her
majesty had the power to disallow any
bill that might be passed upon the sub
ject OF the colony.
Upon the conclusion OF the inter-
view, / thanked Mr.. Blaine very much
for his courtesy"
Following this is Sir Charles Tupper's
report with regard to his doings in
Washington when accompanied by Sir
John Thompson and Mr.. Foster. 1t ap-
pears that Sir Julian's telegram about
Mr.. Blaine's desire to postpone the con-
ference did not reach Sir Charles
in time, and he had no intima-
ton of it till the delegates reached
Washington. Mr.. Blaine at the meet
ing then expressed great regret at their
failure to receive his message. He said
the president was extremely anxious to
be in Washington during the negotia-
tions, and requested that they be de-
ferred until a later date, as he had made
arrangements which could not be
changed for an Immediate visit to the
west; and Blaine also mentioned that
the president said as there would be no
meeting of the cabinet before December,
no serious Inconvenience, he trusted,
would arise from postponement. The
date was later fixed for October 18th,
next. tsss-
In conclusion Sir Charles says. "After
carefully thinking over all that has oc-
cured, consider there is good reason
to hope that fair arrangements may be
sAade with the government Of the Unit
ed States, in relation to the important
question contained in Lord Stanley's
dispatch to Lord Knutsford of the 18th
of December, 1890.
