Free Trade Cheap Labor Does It.

Here is little lesson on the beau
low wages and their results. We
foand it in the Telegram a few days
ago, and give it as we found it, and it
needs no comments:

They need more help but cannot get it.
They have just received consign-
ment of p, 900 slaves from an old
manufacturer in W est Ontario. From
the same source Minneapolis has re
ceived this year 500, ooo, 900 slaves.
No" said Mr. Dowd, I'VE do not

is there tariff on staves:"
Il think there is but l do not know
! Just how much. These slaves are de
livered to us tariff, freight and all pre-
( paid.
/ DO You mean 70 say that the Can
adams can prepay the tariff and
/ freight and still sell slaves here cheap,
er than your own mills can make
! them"
Well, they are doing it, but OF
course do not know how much prof,
1 the Canadians make. OF course they
make something or they would no,
sell slaves by the wholesale i'll the
I United States"
Under the Mckinley law the Tariff
OF slaves is 10 per cent. ad valorem
That is to say, if Mr.. Dowd buys hi:
slaves for s. per thousand the Can
adams must prepay a duty of 20 cent:
per thousand. Thus the Canadian
manufacturer prepays the freight and
tariff and still lays down slaves in SUI
perior at Mr. Dowd's dock cheaper
than Mr.. Dowd's own mills can make
them. The reason, he says, is the eX
tremeiy low wages paid in Canada
less then half what they are here.

The nature of the v hole land can be
roughly divided INTO three conditions:
Snow and ice fields bury the coast
range and choke up every hollow; to
the immediate north the valleys are
rocky and barren, but the vast int
rior beyond Is richly clothed in luxuri-
ant vegetation. Scientific authorities
theoretically mapped out giant ice
fields as spreading over the entire land
from the Fairweather and Mount st.
Elias ranges north almost to the valley
of the Yukon.
Colossal heights mantled in never
melting SHOWS tower thousands of feet
in the air, but within the shadow of
these mighty uplands, in the sheltered
hollows beneath, lie immense valleys
carpeted in richest grasses, and grace
fully tinted with Wild flowers. Here
in the summer genial cline is found,
| where strawberries and other wild
fruits ripen to luxuriance, where there
are four and half months of summer
and seven and half of winter In

The Joke Was on John.

When jim Tawney was making his
canvass for the state senate two years
ago his Democratic opponent made
speech in one If the villages near Wi
mona in which he made the statement
that Tawney was silk stocking.'
"Why, said he, ''if TaWney is elected
and one of you should go up there to
see him you would have to send up
gilt edged card on silver salver be-
fore you could get an audience with
him" Tawney was elected, and it SO
happened that his old rival, who, by
the way, was a warm personal friend
of the senator, came up and had some
important business with the senator
from the Fifteenth district. He went
into The Merchants hotel, where Taw-
ney was stopping, and learned that the
senator was in his room. Now Taw-
ney has the reputation of being one of
the most affable and approachable men
in politics, and the Winona Democra-
tic politician seized sheet of hotel
note paper and scrubbed on 1T this
hasty message: Jim: l want to see
you moment on very important bust
ness; please come down. John" law
ney saw chance to "break even,',
and folding scrap of paper he wrote
on the back of it.: ''Send up gilt
edged card on a silver salyer, d-n you,
and III come down." and sent it back
to his constituent. 1t took couple
of bottles and promise of good be-
havior for all future time on the part
of the Democratic brother to bring
jim out of his hole, and John says that
hereafter he will make no rash state

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.

Considerable Damage in tho building
Occupied by Hanes' Restaurant.
Fire broke out last night about IL
o'clock in the third floor of Blackwell
& Walker'so building, which is occu-
pied by John Hanes as restaurant.
The fire originated from defective
fue which passed up from tho kitchen.
The fire was hardly discovered before
flames were bursting from the roof.
Tho fire department quickly re-
sponded and soon had the flames under
control. Most of the Are was between
toe ceiling and roof. Dense volumes of
smoke poured out of tho top windows
and the water that the firemen turned
in the building soon had everything
completely drenched.
The upstairs part of the building was
used as living apartments, the occu-
pants being Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Rice,
Mr.. Charles Beckner, Mr.. John Hanes
and Mr.. Harry Gallagher. The latter's
room was nearest tho fire, and every
thing in it vas ruined by smoke and
water. The occupants of tho other rooms
also Jared badly. ICwas impossible last
night to estimate the loss.

SANTIAGO, Chilli, Jan. 23.-ISpecialI-
1t was learned to day that the question
at issue between Chilli and the United
States had assumed its most acute
phase
Tho information is to tho effect that
tho Gillian government has received
from the government of the United
States an Iltimatum, which in the
strongest possible terms states that the
diplomatic relations between the two
countries will cease unless the offensive
circular noto recently sent out by Senior
Montt, the CHILEAN foreign minister, in
regard ID tho baltimore affair. is with
drawn.
Furthermore, the ultimatum demands
that Chilli immediately make reparation
for the attack by the mob upon tho
baltimore sailors in Valparaiso. and
that she make an apology for those at
tacks.
The ultimatum concludes with the
statement that tho United States will
tolerate no further delay on the part of
Chilli in answering the demands of the
American Government.
THE REPORT CONFIRMED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-[Speciall-Al
though no direct official statement can DO
obtained, here it is nevertheless learned
tonight that tho associated press
dispatch from Santiago dc Chilli report
ing the nature of the communication
Just sent by this government to that of
Chilli is in the main correct.
The Immediate impelling cause of
tho sending of this communication
seems to have been tho receipt by tho
Secretary OF State, through Minister
Montt, OF the announcement on tho
part tf the Gillian government. that
Minister Egan is not persona grata. but,
ON the contrary, persona ingrata, in tho
estimation OF the CHILEAN government,
coupled with tho suggestion that a
speedy adjustment of the existing difli-
culties and prom otion of good relations
between tho two countries would be
facilitated by his withdrawal.
1t was not considered proper or desir-
able to comply with this suggestion. 1t
was thercupon determined that the con-
troversy should DO brought to a decisive
point by inviting Chilli to choose be-
tween two alternatives, namely to
promptly withdraw the offensive Malta
circular note and also to make repara-
ton to the victims Tor families of the
victims) OF the Valparaiso mob, or in
case Of her refusal to acquiesce in these
demands, to understand that diplomatic
relations between tho United States and
Chill must entirely and indefinitely
cease.
There is good reason to believe that
all that is contemplated by this Coy
eminent in the event of possible refusal
by Chilli to comply with these demands
is simply severance OF diplomatic ro-
latiOns.
