WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16.
The American People Will
Eater lato No Entangling
Alliances.
ft is- our privilege this morning to
publish interviews with some of -the
delegates to the Pau-American Con?
gress..
These gentlemen have been taking a
birdVeye view-ef the varions industries
ofcNew England. They seem- to be
greatly impressed by our monster
woollen ana cotton mills, by the inge?
nuity, skiihand enterprise of American
manufacturers and by the general air cf
contentment and prosperity which char?
acterizes the people.
We in tare hold the governments
which they represeut in high regard,
?nd take no Utile pride ia tho fact that
"the major part of this Western Hemis?
phere is dedicated to democratic princi?
ples and institutions-. in th* coarse of I
a few generations rheir citizens will be
<K>ne homogeneous, the right relations
be ween contiguous republics will bs
established; they will occupy a com- j
maud in g position among the Powers of j
the globe and lay foe foundations of a I
political future which will largely in- j
fluence the progress-of mankind.
We are gratined also by their oft re ?
pealed' desire to increase their trade ;
with the Ignited States, and earnestly j
hope that the obstacles in the way of
that consummation, and which shut us
oat from the markets of the world, may
be removed
It seems a little anomalous, however,
' that an administration pledged to a
practically prohibitive tariff should talk
so mach about closer commercial rela
tldns with other nations. Us pronounced
policy is to shut the door against the
very trade which this Congress is called
to increase:
*'Let our government give U3 free
wool,'" said a gentleman to these dele?
gates in Lowell, "and we can show you
something greater and better than this
arod it will be for your beneSt as well as j
ours."
That is the crux of the problem to be
. solved. When we revise and reform
our tariff laws, then a convention of this
?Sind will reach a definite conclusion,
amd we can successfully compete with
fibreignerSMn the South American m?r
ket. Until then conventions can ac- j
compiish nothing.
As to the political scheme which Mr. i
Blaine seems to foster and which he j
proposes to push by means of this Con- ;
gre8S-that is, the establirhment of a
protectorate over- these republics-there
can be bot one- opinion among right
minded American citizens. It is time j
to say with perfect candor and a good !
deal of firmness that (tte United States ;
bas no business to enter into entangling
alliances either with American repub ;
lies or with the eCete monarchies ?of Ku- j
rope. Tiiey are not in accordance with !
our antecedents, ncr with our interests, j
?or with the inclinations of the people.
Mrs Blaine's interpretation of the ?
Moo roe doctrine is at o tree fake; and ;
dangerous The delegates kn OTT what j
that dectrine is as weil as w^ do. lt is j
simple enough. The policy wbrch
Blaine represents, however, would in
?roWe us in the very dlf?euUies which
the Monroe doctrine was int c?ed to
avoid;.
While we cherish the heartiest good j
will toward the young and ambitious !
governments which aro ?ghting their j
way to permanence and national secur- .'
i^f. lt would be folly for us ?to make j
fcheipqoarrels ours or to assume any j
responsibility for their relations to each ;
other-. The time is not ripe for so radi?
cal sod perilous a movement.
We stroDgly suspect, therefore, thet j
this Congress is siiuply a piece of poli- !
ttcal clap trap, a pyrotechnic exhibition
on the part of the magnetic statesmen, j
a brilliant bit of ante-election strategy ;
having reference to the nest Presiden- ;
tial term.
But the people are not to be caught ?
with such chaff. They are averse to \
shouldering re^poosibUUies for the dis?
putes-which are sure to arise in Cen?
tral and South America and to being
drawn into relations which might very
seriously embarrass us. Wheo oeea- j
eton demands we are always ready to
defend what we believe to be our own
rights, but to be dragged i tito the mis?
understandings of our neighbors-such
an a::er*px on the part of Mr. Blatte 1
sbonld b?resented with botis-dignation.
We Americans propose to mind our
own busii?*s. and -.re shat! never per?
mit any nation or any "combine" of
nations-to interfere with this congenial
occupation.

The New Soutii and the Fair.
l?crc and there in an occasional south?
ern city ajournai is to be found which
terns to thi.-ik it incumbent that it
should antagonize the claims of Chicago
to the worlds fair of IS02. So far as
this antagonism is founded cn belief in
I the superior advantages of any other
locality-no matter how erroneous such
belief may be-it is entitled to some de?
gree ef respect. Bat when this antag?
onism is based on such assertions as
that ' Chicago's vision is obscured by a
contracted horizon cf hate ami malice
and malignant misrepresentation of the
southern people, their enVz-rprises, ?re?F
loyalty, and their greatness''-that al?
though ..twenty-five year?, a quarter of
a century, have elapsed since the war
yet Chicago has had nothing but words
of hate, viilificatiou, and afcuse" for tfec
south-and that "could Chicago once
secure the exposition, judging its future
by its past, it would use the opportunity
for poisoning the minds of the strangers
within its gates against the south, its
people and its opportunities'*-when
such statement;? are deliberately pub?
lished as reasons for rejecting Chicago's
claims one of two iii.ogs is certain:
Either the writers are deliberately falsi?
fying for partisan purposes as do their
uorthern coparceners in the unholy ef
fort to keep alive the tires of sectional
discord, or they are fanatics cf the stripe
of Harper of the o!c-time Okolons
States, In either event they ate incap?
able of teing reasoned with and henee
unworthy of attention.
With that other class, who honestly
but nrstakenly believe that the interests
of 'tfee. south would be better sui served
elsewhere than in Chicago, the case is
different-. For them it may be .worth
while to summarize some of the indis?
putable facts which give this ci ry a claim
upon southern support in our eSorts to
sjc r.' the great exposition.
And first as to the sc-ntinareotcrl arr-eeit
of rh'i question":
It has been heretofore pointed out by
the Daily Neos that the attitude of
Chicago toward the south whenever that
section was stricken hy yellow fever has
done more to remove the bitterness oi
the war-period than has beeu accom?
plished anywhere else. It was Chicago
generosity largely which equipped the
relief-boat Chambers ia J878: it was a
Chicago physician who kept his head
through the trying scenes at Vicksburg
when Lieut. Benuer-in command of
the expedition and himself an Illinoisan,
there died of the fever, 'laying down his
life in bearing succor and relief tc those
whom he had fought in war.
The same scenes viere rerjeatefc at
Memphis in 1879, and aguin last year
when the whole poe th was panic-stricken
by the Florida epidemic. Chicago on
every occasion has thrown wide open
her doors aod welcomed tho fieeiag
refugees.
When New York was arresting these
people for "violating*' absurd and use?
less quarantines a thousand miles away
and confining the- unfortunates on a
lonely island in her harbor-when her I
affrighted health officials were dragging
Prof Proctor from his hotel and con?
signing him to death in a hospital-a
Chicago physician. Dr. Rauch, secretary
of the state board of health, was cglitit^g j
the unnecessary and barbarous quaran?
tine and inviting ai! who chose to come
freely into Chicago and northern Illi?
no! ?.
These reheated invitations have been ;
accepted by thousands of well-to do '
southerners who, during the last dozen
years or more, have sought shelter and 1
security frota the dreaded sec ur:; ge in
this city by the lake, and have here !
made acquaiutance-s and established :
business relations. Io return, with
true southern hospitality, they have in- j
\\'( d Chicago business tuen to visit them,
and in this way Chicago capital has
come to be invested in the undeveloped
forests, thc coal fields, and the- iron *
mines of that great region. Western
energy, western enterprise, western 1
ability, have met with southern open- I
handedness, southern trust, and thc ;
southern sense of honor, and the result
bas been the marvelous development of ;
the "New South."
If any city ia the union north of the
Ohio river has a claim upon the sooth
if any such ci:y is the distinctive ex- 1
ponent of the great American idea, thc
one place where a great world's fair
should be livid-that city is Chicago.
li. Chicago is .pledged to the greatest
engineering work cf the century-ai
work that, measured by its inevitable I
results upon the material prosperity cd \
the continent, will eclipse ali that VT a* i
hoped f?r trom De Lesseps's gigsnti^ j
undertaking. Thc completion of the j

Finally : it is to the int< rest < f thc
44 New South " that the exposition of
1S92 should be held in Chicago.b'cause
here only can thc material resources ?/. |
that region be properly exploited. If
held ia New York the fair will be a
more or less imperfect attempt at re?
pealing the artificialities of Pari?, of
Vienna, of Loudon. The European ex
hibitor will bc catered to and consulted
and toadied. Ward McAllister's 400
snobs will dominate the whole affair,
and t!ie American exhibitor and the
American visitor will be snubbed on
the ono hand and apologized for on the
other.
Here in Chicago no American will
bc compelled io take a back scar. Thc
Kai opean exhibitor, who goes wherever
there is a prospect of reaping American
dollars, will be accorded every proper
facility and privilege and every induce?
ment will be held oat to bring him over
the water. Hut the managers of the
Chicago world's fair will see to it that
America and Americans also have au
equal show.
If the occasion is to Lc a pru5;able
one to this country it must be indeed a
" world's ?; fair, and not a cheap copy
of a French or English or Austrian ex?
position. It must bo one in which
America-north and south, east ans
west-in all her greatness, ??er resour?
ces, her development, and her iustitu
tions,shaU be honorably and adequately
represented.
Such a world's fair is impossible in
New York Only such a fair could be
held in Chicago. - Chicago Daily News
About Cotton.
Some of our go ;J friends, members
of the Alliance, disapprove of cur
course in advising the farmers cf Lan?
caster County to sell their eon ou a 5
soon as ii was ready for market, be?
cause Mr. Terrell, the Grand Lecturer
of thc organization, advised them to
hold. Now iet us see who is light.
At the time we advised the farmers to
soli, cotton was worth in any of the in?
land morkets 10-?- cen?s. We said that
to hold it for four weeks or two months
the farmer would Io>e from 20 to 25
pounds in weight cn the bale and iron:
one to one and a half cents per lb. Not
knowing we cat-eel verify thc first ~ro
pesition; but the present price of cot?
ton corroborates our second prediction.
Cotton has ah cady declined nearly one
cent and the tendency is still down?
ward.
But, our main purpose in mention?
ing the maller again is. to point out
the bad faith cf thc A i ita see men of
Texas and other (Juif States, who'
through their speaker advised the belt
of country known as the Atlantic
?.ate to hold their cotton, while they
rushed theirs into market, reaped the
benefit of the high prices and 'hulled
the receipts for the corresponding
period last year. Cotton receipts at :
the four Atlantic ports for last week
were 93 655 bales, these ports being ;
Savannah, Charleston, Norfolk and j
Wilmington, those at thc three Gulf j
ports, New 0?leans. Galveston and
Mobile, wen: 124.$06 baies. At the
last named ports the receipts doubled
what they were up to the same time
?a>? year. We think it our duty to ex?
pose such unfair dealing and protect
the interest of the farmers of this sec?
tion, whose interest is identical with
our own.-Lancaster Ledger.
