English Influence in America.
i rt
There is not "a countryin Cen
tral oi soath America werc "Eng
lish influence Js not to-day far more
potent than the influence of the
United States. England monop-
- -olizw their trade, dictates their.
a J
policy and from year to. year grotfs'
steadily in prestige" aridp"ffW?r
among these countries. It was
the aim of Secretary. Blaine to see
if our nearest neighbors could not
be brought into closer alliance and
better -commercial relation, with
the United States. eru w.w very
friendly to us, andhad every
cause in the world to lLstrust and
hate- England. Chili cnWhc other
hand, is but the commercial agent
of England, and with the aid of
English iron-clads, commanded by
a British-born 'admiral, has. con
quered Peru.
It was the openly avovyed opin
ion of Secretary Blaine that Chili,
with England behind her, should
not be allowed to despoil Peru and
appropriate her resources. He in
duced the PresiJcut lo send a
friendly commissioner to protest
against, such a. result and.to use all
our influence, while conceding to
Chili a proper war indemnity, to
save the national existence of Peru
and anchor her as a fast friend of
the United States for nil the fu
ture. Mr. Blaine left the Depart
ment of State. Mr. Frclinghuv
sen came in. Mr. Trescott's ' in
structions, were revoked and Chili
practically informed that she
might do as she pleased with her
prostrate and bleeding victim,
' where upon English papers that
had been uenouncin'j Mr. Blaine
t 4
and his policy fell to praising Mr.
Frelinghuyscn in terms of extrav
agant eulogy. The London Times
lias gone so tar as to declare that
, jjEflighuysen could not

iremuiy luveiy jor-.ipn!l tiltll, out
how is it for Brother Jonathan?
Dowing street' proclaims a foreign
policy for the. promotion of Brit
ish interests in South Ameiica, and
Mr: Frelinghuyscn "bobs up c
lenely" to indorse it. He, of course,
secures the praise of English
statesmen and of English papers,
but such praise at such a time is
proof of the destruction of Ameri
can interests and the surrender of
American prestige. It is piaisc
that no American statesman can
afford to receive and is prima, facia
evidence that ilio. interests of his
own country have been sacrificed.
Last year Peru sent products
to the markets of the world worth
fifty million dollars. The tonnage
of English ships wa- nearly as
large as the cotton exports of the
'United States. Tt was the belief
of Blaine that n country of such
vast resources for .commerce and
"trade was worth saving a as friend
to the United States, and it ought
not to be turned over as a com
'mercial dependency of Great Brit--ain.
It was in power to secure its
friendship to secure a good share
of its freights for American manu
turers and American merchants.
But Mr, Frqljnghuyspn has or
dered that no contest shall be
made and that the American flag
be hauled down in the waters of
the Soirth Pacific.
Wo can all recall what it was
' that Gen.-Dix declared should be
done, to any man who hauled down
, tho American flag, but what pun
ishment is commensurate with the
crime a crime still, even if a
- blunder of hauling down the
American flag from a hundred
American vessels at the bidding
of John Bull?.
Snfllcieut for the Day.
The prophecy of that ancient
fraud '"Mother Shiptrm,'' affcrded
tnany of the scan- brethren an op-
portunity for grave fc3r and trem
bling, lest all sublunary thing3
should end in '81. To that class
of people whose stock of worries
is running low and who take dis
mal pleasure in having so'mcthrng
to fret about, comes suitable ma
terial iurhe enunciations of that
distinguished astronomer Prof.
Proctor. Thib celestial fcurvcyor
announces that the comet of 1S80
will coma back in 1807, and its
orbit is contracting with such
swiftness that it must inevitably
come into collision with the sun.
Whenever such untoward event
takes place there is but one Chance
in 8900 that a certain change will
not happen? Should that one
chance not prevail and the bodies
in question come in sudden and
disastrous contact the solid nu
cleus of tne comet and the meteo
rites in its train will, by reason of
tho transmission of motion into
heat, cause a tremendous increase
of heat in the sun that will burn
and shrivel this little earth of osr.
So reasons Prof. Proctor; tin? ac
count agrees exactly with the Aj"
calypse; if some inspired Christian
will but figure upon some of the
prophecies and prove that the
year 1S97 is meant as the years in
which all this shall come to pass
he and the professor together can
work up a tremendous excitement.
Fifteen years is little enough :r
preparation; so that those of us
who believe it should at once com
mence setting their houses ii or
der, for when science and prophecy
get pulling together there must be
somcthinjxin it.
The Chinese gill.
Is the Senate last Monday, the
Chinese bill being und r discuss
ion, Senator Slater, in the course
of his remarks said that the small
ness of the number of Chinese in
the country, as compared with our
total population, had been ur-cd
as a reason for discrediting the
earnest appeals of the people of
the Pacific states. He answered
this by showing that Chinamen
had remained almost entirely on
the Pacific cdast, and asserted that
the adult Chinese male laboring
element in California was neatly
equal lo the male adult white la
boring population, as the immi
grants consist almost wholly of
male adults without families. He
further argues that the p.iralh 1
suggested by Hoar between the
negro and the Mongolian was not
appaivnt, as the former was a us
tive and identified with the coun
try, while, the l.ilter i aualii-u to
our customs, religion and civiliza
tion. Cameron said in 187l he
votcu against the lo-passouger
bill, but lid would vote for the
pending bill, and wished to say in
explanation of his vote that, in the
vetoed bill, olie of the contracting
parties to the treaty proposed to
abrogate it without consent of the
other, but under the first article of
the treaty of September, 18F0,
Congress could, with the smit
scrupulous good faith, enact th
proposed legislation. That arti
cle expressly santioncd it. True,
the census of 1SS0 showed th.it
less titan '20,090 of these im
migrants now remained it; the
United States,andthc number now
entering our ports does not exceed
3000 a month, and those figures arc
notveryalarming; but when theim
mensc and overflowing population
of China is considered, and that
the entire cost of bringing Chinese
laborers from Shanghai to San
Franeisco docs not exceed S10, we
must sec that China can, if no re
striction bo placed upon the immi
gration of her laborers, pour count
less thousands of them into tl.c
ports of California and Oregon5
Detailing the characteristics of im
migrants, based npon information,
to show their ability with Ameri
can laborers, ho said he saw this
morning a telegram from Portland,
Oregon, stating that the six com
panies were now hurrying coolies
into that State to construct the
Northern Pacific railroad. He was
one of those who believed that
either the Anglo-Saxon Or Mon
golian race would ultimately pos
sess the Pacific States.
Mr. George announced that he
i . ii i i .i i -it i
emphatically mdored the hill and
amendments of Grovcrand Farley.
Two of the reasons governing his
vote would be, first, because with
almost entire unanimity, the peo
ple of the States most affected by
Chinese immigration desired its
passage, and as clear and direct,
not a bccond hand or roundabout!
protection of American laborers,
against the degrading and inferior
race now threatening to overwhelm
them. Iicplying.to what he char
acterized as swciA3ipo jjilhutnarti-
tarian phdonhy, he said he pre
jferred to incur thccharge of ificoni
Isistency lather than subject the
people of the Pacific States to a
continuance of the, dangers to
which they are exposed, although
he did not believe the bill trans
cended the constitutional principle.
