FREE. SILVER MEXICO.
Mexico has always been a free
silver country. The conditions
there, it is true, are unlike thpse of
the United States, but not so unlike
our conditions as that It could not
raise the price of silver one cent,
while we could raise the price 47
cents, as is claimed by Mr. Bryan,
should we adopt ! heir financial sys
tem. If free coinage will give us a
silver dollar worth, as bullion, $1 29,
why does not free coinage in Mexico
give them a dollar worth something-
,raore than the actual bullion value ?
If free coinage will give us higher
wages than now prevail here, why
does free coinage there fail to bring
up wages to the level, at least, of the
gold standard price here ? , '
The minister pf finance of Mexico
says farm labor is paid twenty-five
cent3 per day. Dr. Wm. II. Sloan, a
Baptist missionary who hasresided
m Mexico a number of years, writes
of the conditions there as follows:'
An American dollar in Mexico 'at
this writ ing is worth $1.90 in Mexi
can silver; in other words, .one Mex
ican dollar is worth about 51 cents
in American money, although it has,.
more silver in it than the American
dollar has. I believe this cheapness
of silver is due to its enormous prof
auction. - Immerse quantities are
brought to the Mexican mints to be
coined, the owner of the bullion pay
ing about four cents for the. coinage
of each dollar,' and of course proflt
ing by the. added value supposed to
oe placed upon it by the . goyern
ment s stamp. Day by day thq sil
ver is cheapened, but wages ire not
raised, the price of the necessities pf
life steadily increase, house rent be
comes distressing beyond descrip
tion. Let me sive vou a few figures
drawn from' the daily life of the
people. You know I am not a news,
paper correspondent nor an editor,
seated in my comfortable sanctum
and theorizing upon this subject.
For years I have seen these people in
their homes, I know the wages they
get, the food they eat, for I have
eaten with them, their appeals for
better wages, the destitute' condition
of their squallid homes, and I kn6w
that their life is cheerless and- almost
helpless. Jf free silver could have
made any people prosperous and con
tented, it should have done this with
the Mexicans. But it has been , A
blessing only to the capitalist who
could buy silver with gold, and who
has enriched himself at the expense
of the laborer. J
The daily wages of a skilled me
chanic is about $1 (51 cents in
American money). Under favora
ble circumstances he may get 1.25,
and I know of a few, extra men, who
in government shops and railway
service' 'set $1.50 (about 80 cents in
American money"). . , Occasionally,
where .men go away from their
families," or the, work may require
peculiar skill, or the 'employers are
unusually liberal, a slightly higher
figure iwill be paid. But the average
is about $1, and. the large majority
of Mexican blacksmiths, carpenters
tailors and other artisans receive
only '75 cents per day, or 39 cents in
American money: ,In my remaining
figures,' to avoid repetition, I will
giye. the amounts in United States
"sound" money. A policeman gets
51 cents per day, a common laborer
from 18 to 30 cents. Postal carriers
get from $G to $15 per month.
Clerks receive from 1G to $20 per
month. House rent for the poorest
laborer here is from $1.50 to $3 per
month, gold, of course.
'For 350 vears silver has flowed
forth m an uninterrupted and prolific
stieanf, finding its way into the ends
of the earth ; but the laboring classes
of. Mexico are worse off, una . have
been, than were their progenitors
before the working of the mines com
raenced. I can hardlj- understand
the blind fatuity of my countrymen
who want a 'free coinage of 'silver.
If they are successful in engrafting
the Mexican financial sj'stem, so far
as silver is concerned, upon tne
American people, they certainly will
rue the day.
John Boyd Thatcher, Democratic
nominee for governor of New York
who refused to "stand on Bryan's
platform, and who sees the hopeless
ness of the case, has declined to
make the race. The Democrats of
New York, are soins from bad to
worse in their campaign, and ' if they
do not find a man very soon - who is
Populist enough to make the race,
they will not have tune to intioduce
him to, the voters. - . .

Wtieat has an upward tendency,
but, silver is lower than ever. . This
is a s,tmnge phenomena, in view pf
the assertions of Br3fan and the other
Populists. Four years ago Bryan
arfd his party declared that a repeal
of the protective tariff , would bring
the price of wheat to 81 ; but the
price fell about fifty per centi This
was another remarkable phenomenon.
