Those who survive the effects of mer-

only possible at present to state that In

FEW people have very clear idea
of the size, Importance, and resources
of the republic of Mexico. Our sister
republic, which some Americans are
now anxious to invade, is made up of
twenty seven states and one territory,
with population of about eleven
millions, one-half being Indians and
the other half mainly the descendants
of Spaniards. There are eight Cities
having more than thirty Thousand in.
habitants, the largest being the city
of Mexico. with q population of 30O,-
GOO. During the last few years i'm.
migration has increased perceptahly,
the new arrivals coming principally
from Spain and Italy. hough
Mexican finances are in an unsatis-
factory condition, the wealth of the
mines is almost fabulous. Between
1920 and 1880 silver to the amount
of $900,000,000 and gold to the value
of 100000, 900 were produced. Out.
side of the precious metals the staple
exports Of the country are tixtile
fabrics, cogee, hides, woods, vanilla,
dyestuf, sugar and molssses, drugs,
and tobacco. There are more than
twenty thousand cattle ranches in the
republic, valued at S500,000,OO0.
During the last FIVE years the rail
road mileage has largely increased,
and the government owns many
thousand miles Of telegraph. The
Mexican army consists Of $4,000
men, and the navy Of six gunboats
and two torpedo boats. As it is es-
timated that Mexico could put an
army Of $500 men into the field
without much trouble, IL will be seen
that it would be a bloody and costly
job for the United States to make
war upon it. The ignorance which
exists in Mexico as TO the great north.
ern republic is well supplemented by
the ignorance Of the majority ofAmer.
leans as TO Mexico. The United
States could march an army from
Sodora 70 Yucatan if they wanted to,
but somebody would have 10 take of
his coat and roll up his sleeves.

Adhere TO Democratic Principle,

Adhere TO Democratic Principles.
1t grows more and more apparent
evey day that the fall elections this
year will be more than ever free from
the influences of side issues. The
Prohibition party in all the States Is
nominating full tickets, from Govern
or down to county officers. They have
evidently tired of voting with the Re-
publicans as the supposed friends of
Prohibition. The Democratic party
has every reason to stand true to the
cardinal principles of the organiza-
ton, and fight stritly within the par.
ty lines.
No party will ever be successful,
locally or otherwise, that fails to
make bold and manly fight upon
the merit of Its principles. The Dem.
ocratc party existed as a minority
party for twenty five years, but to-day
it is the majority party, national as
we'll as State. 1t is so because it is
founded upon the principles which
underliethe governmental structure 1t.
self. True and tried believers in the
doctrines of Jefferson, madison and
Monroe, the fathers of the Democrtic
party meyer faltered in their belief
nor varied in their adherence to par
ty organization; and to the steadfast-
ness of these true men to principle
does the Democratic party owe its
possession of the. Federal and State
governments to-day.
If the members Of the party desire
or expect to hold control of the gov
eminent they must stand by the par.
ty organization; adhere to the Dem.
ocratic principles in their platforms,
select candidates who will carry out
pledges made to the people and the
party when they shall be elected to
Office. If they do this they will have
the respect of their opponents and
the firm support of every man who
believes in Democratic principles.

Gov.Tilden's power as political
organizer has been much commended
on. He said once that efficient and sue
cessful political work laid in three
things: /. Find out and locate the
voters; 2. Educate him by oral and
printed argument; and 3, see that
he voted. With this belief he intro.
duced novel plan, to which much of
his influence and much of his knowl-
edge of the drift Of public opinion
may be attributed. He collected the
names of notable Democrats of his
state outside OF New York and Brook.
Ign. OF these he gathered $4,000,
and with them he kept in constant
correspondence. Each was his firm
supporter and friend, and through
them he was able to feel the pulse of
the people with an accuracy that was
astonishing. He always said in poll
tics the people were the power and
the expenditure of money hurt thoIpar-
ty which used it, But he be lieved in
most liberal expenditure in educating
the voter. He had faith in primer s
ink.

THE Republican party having in
herited from the old Wing party, to ok
all of its prejudice sgainst the Mex.
lean war. For this reason the Re-
publican party has in season and out
of season fought the pensioning of
Mexican war soldiers, and the old
veterans never could get their pension
under a Republican regime. The
truth is that seventy thousand volun-
teers enlisted forty years ago for the
Mexican war. They brought to our
country..a million square miles of ter
ritory, out of which three and half
billions of gold and silver have been
dug, the weight of which Is equal to
the weight of the whole army, so each
soldier won for his country his own
weight in silver and gold. Ten thous-
and of the volunteers still live, and
the bill which recently passed both
houses of congress gives them each
pension of 500 year. This bill, be-
cause Of disagreements about amend
ments, goes over to next winter, but
it will surely become law.
