most popular, however, were "Moon

NOT A DOUBT NOW. i
An Unprejudiced Tourist In Bfexlco Ke- I
tttrna a Gold Advocate..
A world's tourist was in town yester
day, who has just returned from a two
months trip in Mexic). He is a keen
observer and his opinion should be valu
able. He comes out of Mexico a pro
nounced advocate of . the single gold j
standard, and his reasons seem to be i
very sound. He is a Bostonian, G. P.
Thresher by name, and with his wife
and three children, has been absent now
for two years on' a prolonged tour. Mr.
Thresher proposes to s end three more
years yet traveling throughout the
world. He proposes to visit and epend
some time in every country of import
ance. From here he goes to the Hawaiian
islands, then to Asia.
Believing that having just visited a
"free silver" country, Mr. Threeher's
observations would be of value, a re-
limj
porcer of Thk Chronicle sought h
and asked his views.
"My observations in Mexico have led
me to think," said Mr. Thresher "that
the adoption of free coinage of silver by
(he United States would be a calamity.
I went to that country unprejudiced
either way. In Boston I had listened tc
both sides of the question and had hear
so mucii apparently good argument oi
both sides tliat I could not make up in
mind which was right. My two mont
in Mexico has removed all doub
While it is true that the "prosperity" o
Mexico commenced with free coinage o
silver, it was but a coincidence. Prosper
ity in Mexico commenced with the rule
of President Diaz, who quickly brought
government out of chaos, and estab
lished law and order throughout the
nation. Under . Maximillian it was a
sort of grab game, his selfishness leading
the country to little short of ruin.
Juarez was nothing better tban an In
dian, with power to handle people as a
politician does, but not for their own ad
vancement. On the contrary President
Diaz was an efficient ruler, and estab
lished a measure ot prosperity. As an
instance of his ability take the mounted
police of the cities-. The mountains
were fall of bandits who kept the people
in a constant state of terror. They were
beyond the ability of the military to
handle. Diaz summoned the leaders
together and induced them to quit their
ravages .in the only way possible, by
making them allies, like a school teacher
who takes a bad boy and makes him
monitor. Diaz gave them good salaries,
and they proved most efficient police
men. Simultaneously the brigandage
stopped."
"What about the condition of the
people?"
"I am getting to that. The most
of the working people live in an adobe
bouse of one room. Here a man brings
up a family of six or eight children.
They have no bed, no table, seldom a
chair. Almost their only furniture ie a
mat made of the maguay, a fibrous
plant, and upon this they sleep and
dine. , Their wages is but 35 cents for 10
hours work.. Miners, get from 25
to 37)

cente. A good blacksmith or skilled
laborer gets but 50 cents. A female eer
vant at the house I stopped got only 6
cents a day, and she had to board her
self and sleep at home. I bad to pay 75
cents for a pound of American crackers.
Oatmeal eold for 35 to 40 cents a pound.
I got $1.98 cents for an American dollar.
So you see what Mexican prosperity is
under free coinage of silver. I left that
country without any doubt on the
monetary question,. though I confess I
was in doubt previously from the argu
ment with which BoBton is deluged."
Mr. Thresher and family took, the
Regulator this morning tor San Fran
cisco. Mr. May ft Opinion.
Mr. F. P. Mays states hisopinion that
he criminal cases against the sheepmen
will amount to nothing, but that as to
the civil case against the Tygh Va-llev
Land and Stock Co. he will not venture
an opinion. He believes the case will
be settled without an injunction being
issued to restaia the sheep owners from
pasturing their bands on the reserve,
and thinks the final outcome will be the
segregation of the Bull Run reserve,
also the reservation of small tracts of
land with Mt.' Hood and Crater Lake as
centere, as per a memorial to congress
drafted in the Oregon legislature of 1893,
of which he was the writer. This he be
lieves will do complete justice to the
government and the sheepmen, and that
consequently that settlement will pre
vail in the end."

it is better than Pills because easier to
