The Silver Problem in Mexico.
| CITY OF MEXICO, January 13th.-A me-
mortal on the silver question has been ad-
! dressed TO the President of the Republic bv
tne NdllOldl CnallDef OF commerce. The
memorial states that while the causes of
depression in silver are complicated and
difficult TO understand, the danger is fully
comprehended, and if the depression con-
| tinues itmust unavoidably ruin the mining
interest of Mexico, and produce wide
spread commercial crisis, and most sinister
| consequences. More than three-fourths of
all the merchandise that Mexico imports
from Europe and the United States has to
be paid for in remittances of Mexican dol
lars, because the agricultural interests of
| the country are not sufficiently developed
to permit of the expectation of products
| of the soil on large scale. The
memorial calls attention to the existence in
various States of the Republic of taxes on
| the circulation and expectation of money.
| The memorial suggests, as remedies to di-
minish the danger of a crisis, the abolition
OF taxes on the expectation of native
| goods; that prompt measures be taken to
prevent the State Governments from tax
ing production, the working and exporta-
| ton of agricultural and mining products /:
that all burdens on exports be removed (:
that Mexico join in the deliberations of
the next Monetary Conference of nations.
| and, finally, that direct steam navigation
be established between the Pacific ports of
Mexico and those of Asia.
