THE WAR IS OVER. m« Bctcnt alltts* A fitly IB Clutl, With thelf Po«*««' Sion of Valparaiso and Santiago Bring* the Straggle to an Bad—Balmaceda Expected to Join the Army of Exiles to France-He Ha* • Snag rortane Safel/ Cached. LosDOtf, Angu Si:—The Chilian Wal* iS now acknowledged to he over, and it id stated semi-oflieially that as soon as the Government of Chili is reorganized by file Victorious eoUgressionalists, the oevr adndihrstratidti Will be recognized by Great Britain. . So far the only offi= cial advices from Chili have been the communications laid before the British foreign office from the congressional agents here announcing the surrender of Valparaiso and the triumph of the congressional forces. As this will not necessarily mean the end of the war, from an official point of view, no action will probably be taken here for the present. A recognition of belligerency would be useless, and 1b not probably desired by the successful Insurgents, as that would ini* ply what they now pretend to deny— the right of Balmaceda to belligerency, or that even any war is being carried J

It is expected here that Balmaceda will join the list of exiled ex-tnonarchR and ex-presidents in France. His family left Santiago some months ago and are said to be in Buenos Ayres awaiting his arrival in the event of defeat. He is also said to have forwarded about half a mill ion dollars in gold to London two months ago on his own private account and presumably realised from his private fortune, which was formerly large. The Chilian ministry in London has •lothing to say for the past two days. Both here and in Paris the ministers have been loyal adherents of Baltna* coda, and they can expect no favors from the new rulers of Chili. It was through the earnest efforts of the minister to France, Senor Antunez, that the French government ultimately released to Balmaceda the two iron-clad cruisers. President* Pinto and President* Errazuriz, the arrival of which in Chili would have given a decided advantage to Balmaceda on the sea. Senor Antunez, therefore, will probably be among the first recalled to give place to a congressional representative. A prominent merchant in the Chilian trade asserts that the dispatches of Thursday, announcing the surrender of the eongrcssionalists and the complete triumph of Balmaceda were probably concocted in Lima without the knowledge of Balmaceda or his cabinet. This merchant stated that Balmaced^had agents in Lima who thought it answer in this way the demand of TT!^ outside world for news, and especially the clamorous interest of Peru^^Md and, therefore, bulletined an antr^P^H ment for which they had no authority, but which they expected to prove true. Latest , reports indicate the surrender and occupation of Santiago by the Cohgressionalist forces, though not before a large amount of destrection bad been effected by a lawless mob, who burned the residences of Balmaceda and several of his adherents. Official Dispatches from Rear-Admiral Brown. Washington, AUg, SI.—The following dispatch, dated Valparaiso, August 30, has been received at the navy department by Rear Admiral Brown: The insurgents have possession ot the city of Valparaiso, which was taken yesterday uiom imr, after a very sanguinary engagement The government had the advantage of good roaitlon bnt suffered from bad generalship.

Senor Montt explained that this meant that the congression alists were about to transfer their headquarters to the capital instead of remaining at loniqne. __ A PLUNGE TO DEATH. George Hogan, Brother to Ed Hogan, the Ill-Fated Aeronaut, Palls a Thousand Feet from a Trapeao Bar while Making a Balloon. Ascension at Detroit, Mich. Detroit, Mich., Ang. 80.—The balloon ascension at the exposition grounds yesterday afternoon ended in a frightful accident. George Hogan, the Ann Arbor aeronaut, made tbe ascension, performing the while on the trapeze. When 1,000 feet from earth he lost his grasp on the trapeze bar. The crowd did not seem to comprehend the accident until the doomed man had almost reached the ground. The body shot through the air with frightful velocity, head downward. {Hogan struck the earth on River street, coming in contact with the sidewalk. So great was ''the impact that the two-inch planks were broken and splintered. Blood spurted 100 feet from the corpse.

Reciprocity with Venezuela. Washington, Aug. S1-—it is stated on pood authority thfct the reported rejection by the government of Venezuela of the reciprocity treaty with the United States was a mistake. The treaty has not been rejected, but the government of Venezuela sends it back asking that certain modifications be made, for the reason that the concessions contemplated will decrease the national revenues at least 33 per cent., which is more than the government can afford. They are willing to concede about half the reductions asked for, and negotiations will be renewed. Severe Storm on the Jersey Const. Asmmr Pabk, N. J„ Aug.

Y. “1 *m sure,” said he. “that yoti rsiiisse here in a large d*. jfrce the benefit (if & policy that keep# the American market for the American workmen.” This elicited applause, hut whether it coma from the officeholders in the crowd or from the workingmen the«kidf6P is act stated. If the workmen frorii the Troy shops applauded the president's remark they did so because they had been misled by interested parties. There is no policy that keeps the American market for the American workmen. There never has been such a policy in this country, and the president sltouid have been aware

Under ths pollpr advocated by Mr. Harrison anil his associates neither is so favorable to tha workmen "B» it would be under a system less restricted and artificial- What the workmen has to sell is his labor. This he sells in a free-trade market, in competition with all the world. There is no tariff on the importation of labor. There is no legislation to check imports of foreign laborers. The contract labor law may be mentioned as an exception, but it is well known that the law is constantly violated or evaded by the pampered minions of protection. It Is clear from the statistics of immigration that it has not had the effect of checking imports of cheap labor from abroad. The republican party seeks to extend protection to the domestic manufacturer by shutting oat foreign competition, in whole or in part, and there is a constant tendency toward prohibitory rates. In Inch the beneficiaries of the tariff are never satisfied with anything less than prohibitory rates, and numerous instances may be cited where the McKinley bill increased rates that were already virtually prohibitory, no doubt lor the purpose of offering premiums for the formation of trusts. The republican;party is very fond of tariff-fed trusts, because combinations of that kind are obliged to contribute liberally to tha campaign fund in order to maintain their privileges, if the republicans were sincere in their declarations that thanihave framed high tariffs workingmen, they >liey to ignprodmt it out te American ih the supply of augment the price. shows forkingm labor, and That they do not do so that they arc seeking to benefit the employer and not the employe. We do not wish to be understood as advocating the exclusion of foreign laborers. It is no part of the democratic policy to do this; but it is logically a part of the republican poliey, if that policy were really what they say it is when they address themselves to the workingman. They advocate a policy of- restriction, of exclusion of the pj-oduels of foreign labor. They restrict foreign competition in products, but they leave competition in labor nntrammeled, This shows the insincerity of tho claim that their policy is dictated by regard for the laborer. There Is no effort to keep the American market for American workmen to sell their labor in. Our workmen sell their labor in competition with cheap labor flora all parts of the world, except China. Go to the factories and the mines owned by the men that are allowed to write the monopoly sections of our tar® laws and you will find them filled with Hungarians, Italians and other foreigners, few of whom can speak our language, and vast numbers of whom have no intention of becoming American citizens. These men were employed oecause their services Could be had at lower rates than those of American laborers, and their presence shews how baseless is the claim that the American market is kept for American workmen. Now let ns look at the other side of the American market. namely, the market in which the American workmen buy their supplies; Is this regulated for ttelr benefit? Quite the contrary. They must expend their wages, earned in a free trade market for labor, in the purchase of merchandise rendered artificially scarce and high by a tariff levied for the benefit of their employers and others engaged ip protected industries. On all dutiable articles they find an average protection of abont 80 per cent. When they expend SM3 of their wages for dutiable artidesShey get only what $100 would buy abrpad; the difference of $60 goes either into the treasury or into the pockets of some monopolist. That is the sort of market .that is provided for the American workmen in width to expend the wages which they earn in competition with the labor of the world. The claim that protection is for the benefit of American labor has nothing to rest oa except the difference of wages here and abroad. That difference existed before the revolution, when the American colonies were a part of Great Britain. The price of labor is regulated by its productiveness and the law of supply and demand. It is the operation of this law and the superior productiveness of American labor that have made it higher here, and not. protection. The advocates of the protective system, while prating of love for the American workman, are doing all they can to neutralise the advantages he enjoys, pertly by increasing the supply of labor and partly by giving him a dear market in which to expend his earnings.--Louisville Courier-Journal.

If Ohio republicans will circulate the speech delivered by their candidate they will perform a service to their opponents. Falsehoods and errors have no longer weight, with citizens capably, of comprehending a simple statement Into a single paragraph the author of the McKinley bill crowds sufficient error to nullify any truth he might have stumbled on. Speaking of a revenue tariff Mr. McKinley says: It does not encourage labor, save la foreign countries. It does not move a single spindle, save iin foreign countries. It Increases the demand for foreign goods and diminishes the nee of domestic goods. It Is for the foreign shop and against the American shop. It sappllet work for foreign labor and takes it from our own tutor. It would no: light a single fire In an American l ireaoe or mill, but would extinguish those that now born, unless our labor would work at the same wages as the labor of eo®ope,‘ lug count ries. In short, it Is well conceived to beneilt every other nation than onr own. Tills was the argument used by MsKinley and his friends when the d«F" mand was made that the hoot and shoe industry in this country should have the benefit of free trade in hides. The accomplishment of that result lighted the fires that had gone out under the absurd rule of protection in every tannery in New England. Giving the laborer raw material at lower cost, the price of boots and shoes of the lower grades thus affected was decreased, with the effect of increasing the power of consumption and the consequent de- < mand tor labor in production. Thus in a single incident is overthrown the entire argument of the protectionist. But McKinley and the organs will now be invited to look at the result of free trade In raw sugars. Admittedly the consumption of sugar has increased. " The price has been reduced and more men engaged in its manufacture- Again has free trade lighted fires that had gone out under protection. But .will Mr. McKinley tell the people that this is because employes in sugar refineries bnve been willing to “work at the same wages as in competing countries?” Nor is it necessary for a free trader to argue solely from the results of free trade wherever it has been tried. He may now challenge his opponent to name a logical reason why the same | result must not necessarily follow every such experiment. No protectionist in the country will haaard the declaration that labor is to be benefited by an increase in the cost of the tools with which work is performed. No writer with a care for his reputation would argue that aa increase in the cost of a factory that added nothing to its possible output could have say other effect than to dimmish thewages of labor and capital therein employed. Even the protectionist indorses the proposition to free the channels of New York harbor for the incoming of freight-hearing ships. They hailed the opening of the transcontinental railroads and the faster ocean ships with their lessened cost of transportation aa a means for saving something to labor. But these were merely obstructions to traffic removed, and no proposition is mere absurd than tttat the erection of others can benefit labor. McKinley | will learn something before this campaign is ovar. Let him have a care how he trifles with Jerry Simpson in debate.—Chicago Times
