Outlines His Negotiations with tho
Chilean Government.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The correspond
ence accompanying the presidents mes
sage is of great volume and would prob
ably fill more than 100 columns OF an ordi-
nary newspaper. 1t dates back as far rs
Aug. Is, 1890, eighteen months ago, and
much of it has been described with sutfi-
cent accuracy in the presidents message
sent to congress at the beginning of the
present session and in the copious newspa-
per publications that have been made. 1t
is divided into three portions, the first
comprising correspondence between Mr.,
Blaine and Mr.. Egan, or Mr.. Wharton in
Mr.. Blaines absence; correspondence be
tween Senior Lazcano, the Chilean minis
ter under the Balmaceda administration,
and lastly notes exchanged between Sec
rotary Blaine and Dom Pedro Montt, the
present Chilean minister to Washington.
Begun Eighteen Months Ago.
The Eagan correspondence begins Aug.
Is, 1890, with the statement of the changes
in the Balmaceda ministry, which con-
stituted precursor to revolution Many
chapters of this correspondence are now
ancient history, and therefore OF little in
terest at the present juncture The one
fact that Is established is that Minister
Egan had an abiding faith up to the last
MON ent in the ultimate triumph OF Bal
maceda over his enemies and the downfall
of the insurgent cause.
March O. 1891, Mr.. Egan transmitted to
Secretary Blaine a request by the Chilean
government that the United States permit
one of it's ships to carry from Valparaiso
to Montevideo a sum of about n, 000, 900,
bar silver, which is required for the pay
ment of the interest on the national debt
abroad; that the Chilean government fears
its capture by revolted fleet, if the sum is
sent in the regular course of business.
Wants Us to Act as Guardian.
| March II, in dispatch describing the
sans uinary battles In the neighborhood Of
| Iauique, the minister says that the revo-
luton had the undivided sympathy and
active support of the English residents in
Chile; that the English superintendent Of
the nitrate works urged their men to join
the revolutionists, and Colonel North con-
tributed the sum of flO0, 900 sterling in its
support
| April IA the minister tells of an effort
Of the Chilean government to collect
duties on exports from insurgent ports,
the protests made by the German and
British ministers and the assurances he
has received that American vessels will
not he subjected to any inconvenience.
April 81 he telegraphs that the Chilean
government urgently requests that tho
proposition of the Chilean minister for the
purchase of . man-of-war from the United
States bs favorably considered
| Mediation Fails.
Mr.. Egan began his efforts as a peace
maker April ~, when he telegraphed for
permission to act with the Brazilian min
lster and French charge in an effort to
restore peace, the indications being that
mediation would DO accepted by both par
Ass. The next day he received Mr.. Blains,s

The prices Of wooden clothing such
as the most of US wear, were never cheap
er, when the quality Is taken Into account
than at the present time. This is brought
about by competition in manufacturing
through encouragement by protectlv'
tariff. And, beside this, the population
Of our country has been greatly increased
by these manufacturing establishments
As an instance of this we cite the build
ing of the wooden mill at Skowhegan. With
out the protection afforded by tariff OF
foreign goods, this mill would never hav,
been erected and Skowhegan would hav'
been deprived Of her best industry, ant
her population on this account would
have been at least 500 less,

The advocates of license law should
make known their reason for thinking that
a law OF that kind can be enforced better
than prohibtory statute. Inability to
enforce is one OF their chief objections to
the latter. and therefore it is fair to assume
that they would not be favoring license
law unless they had some reason to believe
that that could be enforced more thorough
ly. A law that applies to every body i'm
partially. like prohibitory law. would
seem to be easier of enforcement than a
law which grants privileges to some, while
it denies the same privil ges to others,
like license law. Laws of The latter kind
contain an element of injustice which in
evitably arouses opposition. But perhaps
liquor license laws form an exception.
