 feeble power and very much inferior 10
 military, naval and EuGncial resources.
 Texas and California unRIded would
 conquer her, My solution Is that she
 would like % repeat the mRueUver oi
 Santa Anna n 1916. Meuco knows fl
 We would take slice of Chihuahua, So
 nora aud Lower California, we would
 take terrltcry valuable tO us and value
 less tO MeAicO and that We might do
 now gs We dId n lSi6-pay Mexico
 handsomely for the territory taken.
 Public opinion ih Mexico would 10 per
 mt thelr government to sell this terrIto- | ry by any peaceable transaction or
 treaty. IT the conflict Is provoked by
 Mexivans and We help ourselves to such
 or their territory as we may want, we
 could well afford to pay s good round
 sum, twenty or thirty or even forty mil
 lions of dollars. Such a replenIshment 1 of the Mexican treasury at this time
 would enable President Diaz and bis government to got on very handsomely
 during, the rest of his term of office.
 Mexico has not the means to pay her army and her civil service and must sell land peHceably. This would be impcs- sIble. The mob would hang Diaz and his cabinet in the streets of the capital if they 2. .iI tas national terrltoFy, but If thirty m lions or more of gold can be drawn InJo MeXico's treasury from the United States after campaign or two ar,v Hsaaslr e.Lr ..F Chihuahua, Sonora and Lower CalIfor- ma, she would accept the situatIon as she has done once before"

 Bankers. The convention was called to order Murray of New York, was elect ei president. A communication was received from United States Treasurer Jordan which showed that the number Of silver dollars coined to June 30, 1885, was S233, ,73S, ,lS6. the estimate value wGs subsidiary sIlver, S70,O00OO0, total, $03}, ,73S 2S6. The value of silver ID s stnncurd dollar nt tO-day's meeting IS 1l.22, while subsidiary silver IS quoted at G6.Gl, exclusive of abrasion. The present value Of silver coinage IS S1I3OGl, ,5l3. Tho executive council submitted the foiloNi8g report; The American Bankers Association empha- uc8lly gives warning of impending danger to the whole country m the cor timed coinage of silver dollars under the act of lS1S; while We fully recognize that both silver and gold are required as the money of the land, We Uellsve neither should bs coi1ed m such a rate iha: the other would be drIven out of gen. erEl use. We repudIate the idea SO often maintained that banks and bankers op- pose continued coinage of silver dollars on account of sell-in terest, but on the contrary. we assert that We have no special interest in one kind of coin more than another, as long as each dis charges its legitimate purpose as money. We believe all persons having limited means, and particularly earners of wages, will most largely suffer when threatened with the evils that shall come. We therefore earnestly appeal to all boards of trade. chambers of com merce and civil and political assOcia- tions of every kind, to make persistent efforts to secure the repeal of the law ou the suspension Of tLe coinage of such silver dollars. The report was unan- imously adopted. In addition a reso- luton was adopted reaflirming the reso- lutioDs adopted by the convention last year, and further providing that 1t be strongly urged that the coinage of sil- yer be suspended, aud that continued efforts be made tO secure an Iuterna- tional uniform basis Ot value between gold and silver.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 13-The Herald has the following dispatch from Gov. Ire land: Austin, Tex, Aug. l2-TO the editor oi the Hersld:-1ou ask my views ot the Cutting case. Cutting has never applied to me. IL may be conceded. II necessary. that Cutting has been legally convicted under the Mexican law. but the people and government of the Unit ed States can never submit to such a rule of law. Every editur and every other person who writes or prints matter m the United States, which is obnoxious to the views of Mexican court, can Rt any time, when found Tn Mexico, be ar- rested sud punished Gs Cutting has been. The person of Cutting is not in- volved. Surely our government has not made an idle demand. No one wspts war. and trust no one wants peace at the expense of our national honor and the rights of American citizens. The only way to avoid war is to be ready for n and a -,t1Fprpaca tn fl tf
