')'!,e conference of eighteen Si ■ <diern m >ublic was invited by congress and presided over by Secretary Blaine. The South eru delegates expoet that the recoinmemtauoiis of the con f ore nee \ i be complied with by then* several governments, from which they were sent not on a junketing tour, but more in the character of ambassa dors to negotiate terms of com mercial intercourse tor the mu tual bene tit of the nations of this hemisphere, and most of them will be astonished if con gress does not take some ac tion in respect to their report. Congress has the habit of au thorizing diplomatic discus sions without ratifying the re suits, and though both parties are demanding now that the recommendations of the cooler enco be made operative, it is very doubtful if anything will bo done. Thera are suggestion* of vi tal interest to American com merce in the report, that should be attended to at once; correc tion of abuses at southern ports, and impositions by custom house officers that would make New York boodlers blush. A curious example of the lack of harmony between tariff legislation and Pan American diplomacy is instanced in the fact that while See. Blaine was striving for a free trade be tween Brazil and the Argen tine Republic the Ways and Means Committee prepared a bill greatly increasing the du ties on important exports of those countries—wool and hides. One hardship to American shippers proposed to be correct ed was to dispense with con sular certification regarding a ship’s cargo. This occasions great delay and expense when it is considered that a steamer’s time is worth SI,OOO a day. It is proposed to establish an inter national Bank with u U. IS. charter and branches in each of the contracting countries. There are no banking facilities between North ami South America; a want that is neces sary to large commercial rela tions between the two conti nents. In England there are eight large banks maintaining relations with South America, and are known to the mer chants of the Southern coun tries. Asa bank is the only disinterested source ol informa tion it follows that there can be no system of long credits such as are demanded in South America. And all drafts and letters of credit, etc., must be upon these English banks for which they charge a commis sion ol' TV percent, llus great ly retards irade as it absorbs the prop <>i the manufacturer in the United States.

Another class of persons are concerned more about I lie hap piness of women and children, and the souls of fathers, hits- 1 bands and sons, and their neigh hors, than they are about the commercial interests involved. They aro persuaded that the morals of men and their ctcr nal salvation are worth more to a community than breweries and grog-shops. To them a license fee of one thousand dol lars is no compensation for the privilege of making drunkards and ruining the prospects ol their boys for both worlds. This class, including men and women, “have sworn and will not repent,” the Lord helping them, that they will not ceas-r their efforts until every saloon in the country is closed. In this work they are undismayed. The work of the reformers— beginning with the advocacy o: temperance and ending with prohibition—has had an effect whether expected and l'orseen or not, does not make any dif ference. Ikat eil'eet lias been to make the question of prohi bition more than a moral one. Prohibitionists are not to blame for this. They would have kept the matter in the realm to which il was at first confined, but as the govern ment laid tribute on the traffic for revenue, the manufacturer? and dealers naturally looked to the government lor protection. This helpetfto make the liquor question a political one. With government protection the whisky power increased and became more and more defiant and destructive, and ilsoppon ents felt justified in appealing to Caesar. This was their only alternative. Their design was not to destroy parties, but to get all men united on a moral measure for the overthrow of the common enemy.—[Select ed. Cttiauiunicat'd.
