WAsniMorw, D. C, Feb. 20, 18 W. Home of Mr. Hryao'g democratic friends and associates who have bad practical business ei perlence in Mexico tin not agree with tbe glowing plctore which he brought back from tbat coun try, nor do they agree with bis theory that tbe free coinage of silver Is responsi ble for whatever of apparent or real pros perity exists tbere. Ei-Coogreasmao McHhaoe. wbo formerly represented tbe Omaha, Nebraska, district ia congress, but wbo now bas large mining interests in Mexico and spends much of bis lime tbere, says tbat bis friend Mr. Bryan is entirely mistaken lo tbe conclusion at which be arrives. Considering tbe fact tbat Mr. McShane is a democrat, a fel-low-Nebraskan with Mr. Bryan, and bas bad practical business experience in Mexico for about as many years as Hry an spent uays mere in bis recent trip, hie conclusions concerning matters so elaborately discussed by Mr. Bryan on his return borne from the land of tbe 4 Veen t dollar are interesting. Mr, Mc Shane bas been spending a few days here renewing bia acquaintance with members of congress, and in a conversa tion regarding Mr. Bryan'e recent utter ances regarding Mexican prosperity, he said : "It is of this sort : Tbe government is largely back of it, and to tbe paternal fostering of tbe Diaz administration it is mainly doe. The government subsidizes breweries, railroads, industrial plants, and aids in every way to build up tbe material resources of the country. Mon ey is used with a liberal band, and as a consequence tbere ia much activity and great apparent prosperity. Tbe fact that Mexico is on a silver basis does not figure; it can't help being on tbat kind of a batis, out I should be sorry fo see the United Statea resort to soy such policy. "Ten years of experience in tbat coun try bas forever set me against the adop tion of a monetary S)steniwbicb ia not ouly in disrepute among the leading na tions of the world, but which is about to be discarded by countries like Japan, Brazil, and some of tbe smaller Spanish American governments tbat were former ly on a silver basis. Tbe masses in Mexico are in a worse condition than 1 trust will ever befall our population. This I can explain by referring to mat ters tbat have come under my personal observation. "When the Sherman purchasing act was in force, some seven years ago, sil ver was worth $1.21, and a United States dollar was worth hi Mexico 100 cents io Mexican money. The dollars ol the two countries were on a parity. At Ibis time we employed about 300 men in our mines, tbeir pay ranging from f 1 to 12.50 per day. It took approximately 110,000 a month to meet the pay-roll. The money to cancel this expense was shipped from Omaha, and it was ex changed for $10,000 of Mexican coin. We operated general merchandise stores along with our mining concern, ana, at the time I speak of, sold to our Mexican employees bacon for 20 cents a pound. " What are tbe conditions today ? We still hire 300 men and give them exactly tbe eerme scale--of wage - lha! - ebtaiosd prior to the slump in silver caused by tbe repeal of the purchasing clause ol tbe Sherman act. Our pay-roll still ag gregates 110,000 a month. To meet this we have shipped us a like sum of United States money, and here is where the poiot of difference comes in. Instead of exchanging that amount at our bank for its nominal equivalent we get for it not $10,000, but 22,O0O of Mexican money. We have here made a clear gain of $12, 000. Our employes still render ui 100 cents' worth of work, for which they used to get 100 cents, and do yet as far as the name goes, but in reality thoy re ceive less than half of what should be theirs, seeing that the Mexican coin in which they are paid bas shrunk to less tban half of its former value. "3ut there is more still. When tbe Mexican miner goes to buy bacon he finds that in tendering payment be can not buy it with depreciated roonev for 20 cents a pound ; the price now is 45 cents. It would still be so if he could tender a dollar as good as that given him for bis labor at tbe time of tbe repeal of the Sberman law. The $12,000 1 spoke of simply comes out of the labor of tbe country, and when tbe toiling class ol any nation is forced to such a condition it is stretching a point to call ibe people prosperous. If the fair and right thing were done by these hard-working tnioeie tbeir wages would be doubled. The man tbat now gets $2 a day is justly en titled to $4, but labor will bring only what Drice lis fixed in market, like any commodity, and employers are not yet far enough advanced in philanthropy to voluntarily give more than tbe cutic mary rate. "So the talk about the prosperity of Mexico in so far as it applies to the vast body of ita citizens the common people is a myth. If there is prosperity at all it is not due to the silver standard, but in spite ot it. Congressman Tongue Is all Right. Relative to bis positiou ou Cubau af fairs, Representative Tongue iu Con gress said. "The proposition before tbe house is to acknowledge the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents sua declare the neu trality of the United States. This is mere empty nothingness. It would pre vent the Uuited States from selling arms aud auiuuition and food to the Cuban iusurgeuts. It would subject our vessels to the right ot search long before reach' iog Cubau waters, It would absolve tbe Spanish govoj-nmeut from claims for damage to the lives and properly of Aiuoncau citizens. It ia much safer to leave the management of . diplomatic matters with the administration. The president sincerely desires Cuban free dom. He has secured tbe liberation of every Araericau citizen detained as a prisoner. He bas stopped the policy of starvation and Induced tbe Spanish gov ernment lo relieve the suffering coucen trados. He has stopped barbaiio war fare, has induced i he Spanish govern ment to conduct the war ou humane methods aud to offer Cuban autonomy. His success should luspire confidence. If the war does not cease within a reas onable liuie, then I believe we should nut pass empty resolutions, but fay to Spain us the European powers said to Turkey iu the Grecian war; "This slaughter must cease, aud and in the in terest of hutmtuity this war must close,' and then enforce this ultimatum."
