Is He Still in Chill.

VALPARAISO, Chilli, September 15.-
Rumors continue to spread concerning
the whereabout of the fugitive presi.
dent. The other day it was said he was
fleeing by way of Los Andes, in the
Argentine Republic, his purpose being
TO reach BuenOS AyreS. Now it is re-
ported that, not daring just at present
to attempt to escape from the country
he has taken refuge in some of the lega-
lions, or else has concealed himself in a
monastery. If he has been fortunate
enough to gain admission to legation,
he Will, In all likelihood, be protected
from the wrath of his triumphant
enemies. Ii, on the contrary, he has
sought refuge in a monastery, he is in
immediate danger of being captured.
The council OF state will undoubtedly
cause all the monasteries to be searched
for him If it puts any faith in the re-
port. 1t seems, hardly plausible. how
ever, that he should seek an asylum
with the clerical party. as ever since
the outbreak OF the war the priests have
been almost unanimously in sympathy
with the CongreSSionalists.
Ex-Mlnister o. Foreign Affairs Aldu-

miles from here, by an armed body OF

Last Friday the American depart

that, II the congressional party had

George Montt as president and was uni
versally accepted by the people, and
that Mr.. Egan was in cordial commune

to public building appropriations. In
fact, the treasury officials are moving

A Victory for Beer.

ARDMoRE, 1. T., Sept 15.-Mr. Wal
rand, attorney for the United States
court in the Indian Territory, has dis
missed the prosecutions instituted
against the beer men of Ardmore, hold
ing the court has no jurisdiction.
Judge Bryant refusing to allow prose-
cutions. This removes the embargo on
the sale of beer with one exception, its
liability OF being destroyed by Indian
police. The Indian agent, finding him.
self alone in his efforts to keep beer out
OF the territory, will not be able to &C.
complish much. 1t may be safely pre-
dicted that beer will now be sold by the
whole OF the fifteen saloons in Ardmore
and over the nation generally.

Mexico Will Have to Report.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept, Is
Europe is not the only part of the world
which will call on the United States for
bread and meat this winter. Consul
Fechet, at Piedras Negras, in report
just received at the state department,
says:
Owing to the severe drouths the
cotton crop this year in Mexico will be
much below the yield of last year, and
larger ST ipments from the United
States may be looked for. The same
disastrous cause.-The drouth-has made
heavy losses in live stock. Cattle and
hogs are reported dying in large num-
bers. The meat supply OF Mexico will
be short, and cattle and hogs from the
United States must replace the home
deficit, and in consequence it is very
probable that live stock exports to
Mexico will be seusibly increased"

The Mugwump and His Bsdfe,low.

The democrats are not usually as good
observers OF the Inducements OF polit-
ical life as the republicans, but they
can hardly fail to perceive the coinci-
dence between President Harrison's
Albany speech and the revival Of conf
dence in commercial circles. That this
coincidence was real casual relation
we have not the least doubt. The renew
ed activity in Wall street was only a
symptom of the improved condition OF
trade in general. 1t was the outward
and visible sign indicating that invest
ments would be safe for some consider
able time at all events. The democrat
ic party in New York has been gener-
ally wise on financial questions. 1t has
been fortunate in having leaders who
understood these questions and had the
courage of their convictions. Seymour,
Tilden and Manning represented the
traditions of the party, and their infiu-
encs kept it out OF dangerous boys as
long as they lived. The question now
is, whether these traditions have lost
their weight and those illustrious lead
ers their authority. We shall soon see.

Not only ar% prices not hisher, bus
rather lower, since the McXtalsy bill
came into operation; not oaly have our
exports not diminiahed (as the free
traders prophesiad that they would),
but have increased vastly, not only
have our importaof non-dutlabls goods
increased and our imports of dutiable
goods decreased, in exact contradiction
70 the predictions Of the free traders,
but the revenue from tariffs nss fallen
by 81, $50, 311 during the first ten
months Of its operation. And il 1t be
remembered that during six OF these
ten months the ola duties on sugar were
in force, it is fair to assume that the
reduction OF tariff revenue for the next
fiscal year will be at least $4,000, 900.
For the tariff revenue collected in April,
May, June and July, 1891, was less by
$50, 81, O58 than during the same months
OF 1890.
Mr.. S. G. Brock. chief OF the bureau
OF statistics, furnishes the Inter Ocean
some very interesting figures relative
to our domestic and foreign commerce
since and before the operation of 1.-The
Infamous bill" as our democratic con-
temporaries used to call it. from which
1t appears that our exports during the
first ten months Of the new tariff have
been greater by s32, 5l2, 992 than during
the corresponding months of the prior
year, agricultural exports sharing large
ly in the increase. The imports of free
goods are greater by about Sl00, 900, 900.
More than Sc per cent. OF all the goods
imported during the last four months
have come in free OF duty. The per
capita revenue from tariff has been re-
duced from 1892 in 1890 to 81, SO in 1891.
We have been importing more largely
OF free goods, and, by means Of reciproc-
ity, have been exporting more grain
and manufactures in exchange for
them.
Meanwhile the prices OF our domestic
manufacturers have not increased but
have decreased ION account of the
tariff" For example, Mr.. Brock quotes
four grades of binders Irvine as averag-
ing Ia cents per pound In 1890 and
$ l-l6 in 1891; cotton cloth as averaging
81 cents during 1890 and 81 during 1891.
walls have fallen from sos in 1890 to
l,S5 in 1891, and sugar Is common at
70 pounds for 81. Though some Of the
best stores in Chicago are so unkind to
the free traders as to sell % or even 30
pounds for 81. In view of these figures
the republican party is asking whats
the matter with Mckinley" and is ex-
pecting Ohio to answer, "Oh, he's all
right. Inter Ocean.

! Comparative Price Lists and Depopulation
1t has been proposed that the English
| exhibits at the worlds fair shOnld have
attached to them the price with the duty
added and the prics without the duty;
this our free trade contemporaries say
will give those selling an object lesson.
1t Is unnecessary to point out that it is
not proposed to furnish the scholars
with either the wages paid in England
or the decrease in the cost OF such goods
since their manufacture has been en-
couraged iE this country by protection.
This plan is not without a precedent, and
in the light of the single example it will
depend on the view taken of the immi-
grafton problem whether such comDar-
alive figures will be Of advantage to this
country or not. At the worlds fair held
ut Philadelphia In 1875 the Swedish ex-
hibit was marked with the assumed
comparative prices of the goods exhib-
tied under free trade and protection,
aud the quarterly report OF the chief
OF the bureau of statistics for the three
months ending with March 81, 1884,"
shows that of y25. OBI Swedish and Nor
wegian immigrants since 1920, 779.607,
or more than eighty-four in the hun
dred, have come to this country in the
past twenty years; since the news Of the
difference in prices OF manufactured
goods in the two countries was fully
known.
1t appears from this that as soon a.
the subjects OF King Oscar knew Of the
state OF our markets they sold their
farms and other belongings to come and
suffer with us the disadvantages OF a
protective tariff, and taSle No 81 in the
report above quoted shows that the mass
OF them settled in the four states OF Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota.
II the British manufacturers and i'm |
porters will kindly post such notices as
proposed, we look to see the immigra-
ton from the United Kingdom increase
to some three million during the decade |
ending 1910, and amount to fully eight |
million for that ending with 1920. This
would take about all the farmers En-
gland has left.-American Economist.
