gin always at the first sign of an epoch
of stringency in any of the money cen
ters of the world; and this constant
vigilance has never ceased. The gov
ernment, watching affairs in the money
world, does not believe any extraordi
nary measures are necessary in the
nreeent situation. The normal con
dition is everywhere reestablished, and
our banks, following my instructions,
have maintained a system of circum
spection and caution, limiting their op
eration to affairs that offer ample se
curities. The solidity of our banks is be
yond doubt, and they are in a condition
to meet whatever contingency. The fact
that business conditions in Mexico are
improving daily is very satisfactory to
tho government, and our finanriul con
nections, though there has never been
here grave fear of trouble. We are
like ao individual, who suffers an at
tack of indigestion, which does not en
danger his life of health, but for the
moment annoys and takes away his ap
petite, obliging him to let bis stomach
rest a little. This rest is, in both
eases, the only remedy necesaary, effi
saeious and beneficial."
