A KILTER BASIS AS0 ITS EIFECT. Mr. Freilerl. R t'oudert U one of the leading lawyers In this country, Such U his eminence that be is one of the advocates chosen by the United States to represent thcui lu the great forensic struggle which t(ok place before the commissioners appointed to arbitrate the Uehrlng Sea matter. Mr. t'oudert' views on almost any economic tpietttloa arc worthy of attention. A lew dtiyi ago he was Interviewed upon the si I ver question, and said : "I have read and talked w 1th Eu ropean writers on finance, and I And that they are becoming Impressed with the fact that unless European nations soon reach an agreement on this question of adopting a uniform bimetallic standard, they ,will have to fuce tha certainty that the I'uitetl Siatea will do business on a silver ba sis. The result would be undoubted. ly a financial revolution, and loss to the United States, but it would be rutn to Europe. They are beginning to realize tha fact -that they can no1 get along without us, while we can get along without them. If the worst comes to the worst, we could build a wall of silver around our country, and the world would be knocking at our doors." These pregnant words of .Mr. C'ou- dert remind us that some months ago in these columns--on the 8th of Ap ril, 1895, to be exact the Argonaut printed a forecast of the probable sit uation of I lie United States on a mo nometallic silver basis which ie what free silver coinage means. The Aigouaut i)oea tint believe that it would be wise for this country, act ing independently, to become a sin-gle-standard silver country; hut it also does not Mieve ill the dismal pictures of ruin presented by the single-standard gold men when forecast ing the results of bimetallism. We therefore attempted to picture the condition resulting from a single. standard silver basis In this country, basing our forecast largely on an arti cle from the Loudon Statist. That is a strong (Monometallic gold organ, aud certainly could not be suspected of painting n too rosy colors a silver country's fate. Rut the fact remains that the dreadful pictures drawn by the gold men were pot at all like those - presented ' by ' the Statist. Briefly, then, our article showed that the adoption of the silver single standard would result first In a re adjustment of prices, then a rise In commodities, then a rise In silver, and last of all a rise in.wages. The country would then be on the same basis as Mexico. According to an article which Mr. Romero, the Mexican minister at Washington, contributes to the June number of the North American Re view, the fact that Mexico is on a silver basis does not seem to spell ruin to that couutry. Mr. Romero says that the silver standard in Mex ico encourages very largely Increased exports of domestic products. The sliver standard also stimulates the development of home manufactures, the gold price of foreign commodities being so high that it pays to make such articles at home. The Mexican dollar becomes only half a dollar when the Mexican uses It in buying from foreigners. Such plants as cot ton mills, smelteries, etc., are Increas ing every day, and some manufac turing plants are even being moved to Mexico from the United States. As to the purchasing swer of the silver dollar in Mexico, It has uot de clined, says Mr. Romero, but is as great as It ever was. As a further result of the silver standard, he says that many Mexicans with iarge in comes, who used to live in Euroi and spend their money there, have been compelled by the fall In silver to return to Mexico pnd spend their money there, They are just as rich In Mexico as tliey were beforc It is only In Europe that they feel ssr. Rut it is certainly an advantage to Mexico for them to spend their money at home. A disadvantage of the silver standard, according to Mr. Itomero, is that the Import duties are much diminished, because the Mexicans have ceased to import so largely of foreign countries. We do uot know whether this is a disadvan tage or not. A further disadvantage, he states, Is the fact lhat the interest of the foreign debt must be id In gold. That may be a disadvantage, but If It should force the Mexican government to borrow money at home and pay both principal aud In terest to Its own people it would tie a useful lesson. Altogether, one Is forced to agree with the Review of Reviews, a most Impartial journal, of high character, and with no silver leanings, when It says: "In all can dor, we must confess ourselves una ble to see that Mexico Is placed at any serious disadvantage by her con tinued adherence to her singte silver standard." It Is not to be supposed from the foregoing that the Argonaut advo cates the assumption, of the single silver standard by the United States. We believe, as we have said, that such a condition would ajwf eiWy mean ruin, but It la onnWkAirj t make such a radical change. If the country will adhere to the system uuder w hich we were most prosper ous, to-wtr, bimetallism, and if it will attempt to briug about International bimetallism, the difficulty will solve Itseir. From the remarks of Mr t'oudert, which we quoted In the be ginning ol this article, it is very evi dent that the United States has the power to bring about international bimetallism. Tha nations of Europe rear us to such an extent that they would accede to an international bi metallic agreement rather than see us goonasinglo silver basis and win the nude of other silver countries ll iT 'tliuost certain that they w ill all rtiittriuto such an agreement, with the possible exception of Great Itrltain. t Aud what then? Suppose Great Isritaln should decline. Suppose the I ulted States entered Into an agree ment with the other commercial na tlous of Europe to adopt a single sil ver standard. hat would be the effect of it? Silver countries would find that in selling to England they must receive silver, aud in buying from England they must pay in gold. would these countries continue to trade with England under such cir cumstances? Could England produce so cheaply as to compete against the advantage of silver prices in produc tion and in payment, aud still make i profit? As we have befure remark ed, if England should persist in re. mainlng outside of an International bimetallic agreement, it would re. isiund to the advantage of the United States. TW country can produce practically every commodity that the silver-using countries now purchase from England. Wilh a similar bimetallic currency aud with England on a gold basis, It would not be long before the United States bad the bulk of the trade of the sil ver countries. It would result in the. world's clearing-liou,ae being New York (nstead of London. We hoie lite International conference wilt re, suit In International bimetallism. We hope that all the great commer cial countries of the world will enter into this agreement. Rut if England should decide to stay out, as her self ishness may impel her to do, no one need lie sorry, for it will mean the itmiMwrvial rutn of - Englanir.-STK Augeruaut. PICKETT'S CKAKHR ASD ARMS. MODERX At Gettysburg, in July, 18C3, had the Federal troo been armed with the rifle now being issued to the U. S. infantry, and with the present improved Held guns, Pickett's heroic band in the charge on the third day would have been under lire from start to finish, and the Are of massed infantry, combined wilh breech, loading cannon, would probably have destroyed every man in the assault ing lines. Pickett's right, when formed for the charge, was 1,800 yards from the Union lines) and the magaaine rifle sight Is graduated, it will be remembered, to 1,900 yards. With the weapon then In use the federals did not open with artillery on the charging Southern troops un til they were within 1,100 yards of their lines, and their infantry did not Are until they were within a much closer range. In the recent war between China and Japan, it was stated that a ball fired from a Japanese rifle called the Murata, similar to the United States niaga sine rifle, struck a Chinese three quarters of a mile away in the knee, anil crushed it to atoms. The improvement in field cannon has kept pace with that in small arms. It Is doubtful whether troops can be held In column or mass for. mation within two miles of an enemy firing the present modern breech loading field guns. The extreme range of these 8.2 and 8.6 Inch caliber field guns is over five miles, and when a suitable smokeless powder is fouud, they may throw a projectile eight miles. Had McClellan had these guns when his lines were Ave miles from Richmond, he could have ruined the city. No troops can live in front of them when they are rap idly discharging shrapnel, 200 bullets to the case; and they can defend themselves without Infantry support, and can be captured only by surprise, or when their ammunition is ex hausted.

When travelers from the United State arrive at Laredo, or at Eagle Pa, or at El Paso, they, of course, exchange their American coin fur the currency of Mexico! Ia place of the green bills of the United States they receive the rather gaudy scrip of Mexico. Forthe silver of the Amer ican eagle they receive dollars which bear imprints of the eagle, serpent and cactus of this brown republic of the South. It makes them feel very wealthy. The rate of exchange Is al ways about two for one. For fifty American dollars they receive 100 of the dollars of Mexico. It is a great thing to double money In this way. The American touri-t is likely te keep his hand In his pts'ket and Jin gle his horde. However, when he boards the Pullman to ride to the City of Mex ico he finds that the fare has become $9 in Mexieun money, Instead of the normal and expected (4.30. The traveler discovers that he has not as yet gained anything. Still greater is his disappointment when he learns that the usual tip to the porter is &0c Instead of the almost universal 25c. He exclaims that he can as yet see no benefit in this money exchange, The Americans who earn salaries in the City of Mexico are continually crying that if they could only gel their iay in American money aud spen I it in Mexican money they would be happy. A Mexican dollar is a good dollar with which to buy things, unless those things be import ed. Then there is trouble. Pull man cars, porters and a multitude of other things which could be enumer ated hereafter come very high. If a young Mexican clerk, who is, for instance, nn a salary of fi0 per month, but Who, nevertheless, thinks considerable of himself, as young if this young clerk wishes to purchase a suit of clothes commensu rate with his opinions he will have to spend something more than a month's salary to get It If he wishes to buy a goisl pair of trousers, he is required to pay about $15. Hats are to be bought at about 1 10. A tie ait"ordiitary four-in-hand-comes at $1. A collar is a matter ol liftr.i-Phar fctst"biMnd ousts uOcV-A pair of cuffs can be obtained In ex change for GOc. Shoes, which are or dinarily of very poor quality, owl from 98 to A20. Young clerks do not become great dudes In Mexico. It Is to be noticed that the best dressed men In Mexico are not nearly so well dressed as the men of an ordi nary New York crowd. Of course, one would expect the styles to be old, but then there is to be observed a certaiu lack of quality to the clothes, au air of being fragile about the shoes, and as for the hats, anything goes In Mexico. The lower classes in Mexico do not. wear shoes. They seem contented enough in their sandals, but if one ol them should save his money In order to buy a pair of shoes It would take a!sut ton years for him to get the re quired amount. That Is to say, if lie got id at the usual Mexican rates. If a man wishes to see his wife and his daughters well dresned, and in the latest Mexican style it costs him a very pretty penny. It is not In tiie power of the middle-class Mexi can to buy gowns for the feminine part of his family, as a middle-class American can do. He would go broke shortly. It costs 25c to get shaved in a Mex ican city. However, there is one great point where the Mexicans head us. Cocktails are sold at the rate ol two for a quarter. All of the good brands of whisky are at the same rate. Reduced to an American stan dard, this is at the rate of Gf, per cocktail or per whisky. Beer Is sold for 10c a glass in American terms 5c a glass. The Is-er is not Imported, but the whiskies come straight from the United Stales and Canada. Still, whisky ischeaper in Oaxacaor Tehu anlepec than it is in Kentucky. There are quite a number of Ken tucky emigrants to Mexico who do not feel that longing to return to the homes of their fathers which one would naturally expect in a true son of the blue-grass state. Mai' road fares in Mexico are usual ly quoted at double the mileage in the United States. That is to say, reduced to a common basis, they are equivalent. This doubling of the rates, then, does not affect the tourist from the United States, because he thinks In American coin, but It plays havoc with the Mexican citizen, who earns his money in the coin of Mex ico. The passenger trains of these railroads carry first, second and third class coaches. One can find very well-mannered and sensitive people In the second-class car. As for the Pullman, it Is a resort of the Ameri cans, and of the higher, perhaps only the very swellest and most wealthy grade of Mexicans. Perhaps It should have been mentioned some distsnce back in this article that the lower classes can purchase pulque, the na tive beverage, at the rate of 3c per glass. Five glasses seem to lie suffi cient (o floor the average citizen of ' tha republtj, so it happeus that he ! can vet ii iwliug, staggering and aDu-iive for 7c. 151, or, in our money I be author of this article Is not supposed to be transfixed with ad tuiratiwn because of the above facility of Jag. He merely mites facts. I is a national condition, for which he Is lu no wise responsible. The cost of prepared foods In Mex ico is, wnen reuueeu to a common basis, about the same as it is in the i niusi niaies. ir one goes to an American restaurant in Mexico, he gets robbed, more or less, but then this Is not important. The Mexicans themsolves live cheaply. However, they do not have one-eighth of the comforts and luxury that are in thr ordinary little American home. Their lives in their houses are bare and scant, when measured with American firesides. The Mexican laborer earns from 1 real (CJjc United Htates) to 4 real (2.V United States) per day. lie II vet- mostly on tortillas, "which are beans. His clothing consists of a cotton shirt, eotton trousers, leather sandals and a straw hat. For his wages he works like a horse. Stephen Crane, In St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

HE KNOWS HOW IT FEELS. "My experiment room w as, located on the first floor of the factory and divided from the main part in which light machine work Was dime by a' low partition," sacs Lnclwio tJuTuWin, in a recent Interesting trtii-le on physologiea! effisis of electricity. "There were some forty or fifty men engaged on this floor, filing, hammering, fitting, turning, etc. "The dynamo utilized for testing was on the ground floor, and the switch controlling this, a special circuit, temporarily arrainged and brought to my room, was between my room and the transformer test room. Having flnislid some deter minations regarding a new type of transformer, I went out and opened the switch and returned to my room. Then I carelessly omed the con nectors, not expecting that on my re turn to the room somelssly else would close the switch again. whlehproved to lie the case In this instance. On getting hold of the primary wire of the transformer with one hand and the circuit wire with the other and pulling them out apart from the connectors, I placed myself directly In the high tension circuit. I was caught, the bare ends of the wire were held out in either hand, which, by the flow of current were closed, holding the wire, a No. 8 or 10 Brown A Sharpe, tightly in the hands. "For an Instant I was stunned; when this momentary uncotiscinus-ne-is passed away I found myself un able to breathe, utter a cry of assist ance, or move. I was sHll-ls)und in crouching position. The noise ironnd me In the shop seemed to be very weak it was as If I was a block or more away and the ham mer blows, which generally made the shop so noisy, were very faint. I was not capable of thinking atsmt myself, and the danger in which I was placed. All I do remem bcr be sides the faint hammering was that I felt my arms shake as if in grasp of some powerful man, in a playlul ex aggerated hand-shake. "I felt the rolling action of the current impulses as they slowly ap proached, Just as we oliserve the hi-avy waves approaching the shore on the beach. "Suddenly the wires had burned through the skin and In some way did not make proper contact. The current was momentarily Interrupted and I Jumped up, or as this motion was passive one on my part, I was straightened out from my bent mjhI- tion by the relaxation of the muscles, while In doing so the dangerous wires dropped to the floor.
