PROSPERIT Y IN MEXICO.
It is well enough to "talk about
prosperity in Mexico to those who
have never been there. Some may
believe it; but as the. people of the
JJnited States view prosperity Mexico
is anything but prosperous. In an
interview published in the New York
Sua August 23d, Jose Y.Ximantour,
Mexican minister of Finance, says:"
'Mexieo." said . Mr. Timnntnur.
"has alwaj's had free coinage. The
Tatio is 16 to 1. Theoretically, our
standard is bimetallic, but, of couise,
it is really a single silver standard.
It is not possible to have a double
standard under free ' coinage. "Any
gold we have is immediately .ex
ported, and I have never, seen any
gold in circulation in Mexico. Gold
is at a premium of nearly 200. We
produce but little gold.. Last year
the output was 2,000,000 ounces,
-while we produced about, the same
amount of silver as the United States,
"55,000,000 or 60,000,000 ounces.
"There is a keen interest in Mex
ico in the result of your election, be
cause of the effect it will have upon
the price of silver generalty. ' Each
time silver goes down it is a serious
detriment to our, country, because we
have made four foreign loans, paj-a-hle
in gold. As silver depreciates
and j.he premium on gold is increased,
it becomes more difficult for our gov
ernment to meet these gold obliga
tions. Of course, we have silver
bonds also, which are taken up at
home. The gold bonds are worth
nearly double what the silver bonds
are worth. It was a serious blow to
ws when the Indian mints were .closed
in 1892 and the Sherman act was re
pealed in 1893, because of the fall in
xne price oi silver, wnicu iouowea.
-The price of imported goods has
been doubled. The increasein price
of domestic products which are con
. omed at home has been small.'. The
price of tropical products which are
rained principally for export has vir
paid for in gold, the international
J medium of exchange, and the pre
mium cn gold in Mexico has, in
creased with the fall of silyer. On
this account the producers of coffee
and other tropical products have
profited greatly and Save grown very
wealth3'. The fall in silver has also
manufacturing industries." ';''".
"How do you account for that?"
Owingto ihe fact that we must
' pay foi foreign manufactures in gold,
their price in the depreciated silver
7B Second Street.
has greatly increased. - The price of
domestic, manufactures, for which sil
ver is paid, has not increased. Hnce
the tendency has been , to develop
domestic industries, and .wool, iron,
linen,- and paper mills have sprung
np all over the country; " The fall in
silver has been in effect a species of
protection, which has .become " more
important than the tariff."" '
"Would not a' further fall in the
price of silver be beneficial, accord
ing to the same reasoning ?" ' " -
"No; becanse manufacturers want
just enough protection to enable
them to keep the home' market.
They do not want any more than that.-
Furthermore, we must bear in mind
the point that I' mentioned before,
that every fall in silver is a detriment
to our national finances. It is a det
rimcnt, too, to the railroad compa
nies, which have invested gold cap
ital and issued gold bonds, but whose
earnings are in silver. What we fear
most is a fluctuation in the price of
silver, or in the rate of exchange!
Our commerce is conservative and
not speculative, and while the price
of silver is m doubt, our business
men fmy only what they need from
time to time, and undertake no large
operations. , This is the best time,
however, to invest money in Mexico,
because silver has got down -so low
that it is likely to go np now rather
than to continue downward."
"13 Mexido prosperous on the sil
ver standard ?" .
"Our prosperity is increasing rap
idly, but it is due to a number of
causes, and not especially O the sil
ver standard." :
"What is the effect upon wages of
the depreciating silver standard?"
"They have not increased precepti
bly. The same is true of Japan,
where wages are very low. Foi this
reason, Japan and Mexico will, in a
few years, be able to compete suc
cessfully with England and the United
States because of the silver standard
and low wages." . ;
"What is the ruling rate of wages
for agricultural laborers in Mexico?"
"Twenty-five cents a daj'.''.
These are the words- of one whose
interests are to present the matter as
favorably as possible for' Mexico.
The ruling rate of wages for agricul
tural laborers in Mexico is twenty
five cents a day. WagNnot in
crease with the depreciatrolv in their
monev standard. - ; .- . ;
The matter of lighting the streets
of our city is becoming an important
one. If we cannot " afford electric
lights we can afford oil lights which
are a great improvement over . black
darkness Many cities are lighted by
incandescent ! lamps, which are less
expensive than arc lights - and mote
udesirable than lamps. We hope some
thing in this line will. be done soon.
We regret that the gold standard

The undersigned desires to orpaniz( it class in
German. Every American .citizen who can ni
lord both time and- expense ought to be master
of at least two languages. -The German language

account of her profound literature in-all branch
es of ancient, and modern science produced in
her world-renowned universities. Those who
would drink from these Inexhaustible and yet
unadulteiated fountains of knowledge, mufct
muster the language which contains the key to
them. Tbe undersigned will organize a class In

will be limited to a certain number. -Charges
will be vtry reeaonable. r . -
::"- . LATIN.
The undersir- f-d will also organize a class la
Latin. There so many reasons why those
who desire to advance their knowledge beyond a
common school education should take at least a
course in Latin, that probably everybody is fa
miliar with at least some of them. I will not
take space here to speak of tbe beauties of the
Latin language hot of tbe many advantages in
life possessed by those who have mastered it. I
will here onlv announce my intention to organ
ize a c-ass in Latin. Rapid progress guaranteed
to those who will work hard . charges very rea
sonable. . All desiring instruction in Latin are
kindly requested to announce their intention to
the nndersigned before September, if possible.
Awaiting ytur application, I am, very respect
