SILVER IN MEXICO.
A Memorial Suggesting n Remedy for the
Depression in Business.

A Memorial Suggesting Remedy for the
Depression in Business.
Cry OF MEXICO JAM ia memorial on the
silver question has been addressed to the Presi
dent of the republic by the National Chamber of
Commerce. The memorial states that, while
the causes of the depreciation of silver are COM
plicated and difficult to understand, the danger
is fully comprehended, and if the depression
continues it must unavoidably ruin the
mining interests of Mexico, and produce a
widespread commercial crisis. 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 dollars,
because the agricultural interests of the country
are not sufficiently developed to admit of the
expectation of the products of the soil on large
scale. The memorial calls attention to the ex-
istence in various States of taxes on the circula
ton and expectation of money. The
memorial suggests, as remedies to diminish
the danger of crisis, the abolition of tax on the
expectation of native woods; that prompt meas
ures be taken to prevent State governments
from taxing the production, working and ex-
portation of agricultural and mining products
that all burdens on exports be removed; that
Mexico join in the deliberations of the next
monetary conference of the nations, and, finally,
that direct steam navigation be established be-
tween the Pacific ports of Mexico and those of
Asia

The Old War Governors Loyalty in an
Emergency Feeds Bayard's Hatred.
Washington Special.
In Governor Curtin's case there is no need of
public statement Not member on the floor
but understands the reasons that led to his dis
placement. All the country knows it by this
time, and that the treatment he has received is
undeserved and outrageous. To attempt on the
floor of the HOUSE to give the reasons for his re-
trement will be to attempt to give mems mo-
tives. the grounds of personal malice in high
places, the vindictive pursuit for revenge and
political aggrandzement, which cannot easily be
proven, while easily understood, and which will
admit of argument Governor Curtin will gain
more by adignifed refusal to serve on the fourth
rate committee to which he has been relegated,
and leaving the reasons unsaid. He may yet be
persuaded to do so. There is very little doubt
that he will decline.
In connection with these reasons IL Is said that
q public statement from the Governor would 60
back to the beginning of the war, and show the
causes of Secretary Bayard's hostility. 1t will
be remembered by older politicians that, at the
outset of the Rebellion, Governor Curtin, in the
executive chair of Pennsylvania communicated
to the War Department certain information rela-
tive to an alleged conspiracy by rebel elements
in Maryland and Delaware To seize the powder
houses near Wilmington, and suggested that
United States troops be at once sent into the

The Sultan will gladly send his troops to the

the interest Of the British holders of Egyptian
securities in an inexpensive way by appealing to
the Sultans vanity. The Buddhist troops at
present in Lower Egypt, under General Stephen

it is probable that the order to send forward re-

WASHINGTON, JAN 13-"The success of the
American opera in New York has more signif-
cance than is generally supposed" said Repub-
lican senator to your correspondent to-day. II
see in it the growth of an era of Americanism
which will extend to everything on the conti-
nent. The day is not far distant when the ideas
of the United States will be formed upon the
basis that America is the one great country Of
the world. We are fast losing our foreign mar
kets for grain and farm products. The belief
that silver is good enough money standard and
the impression that America can take care of it's
elf without the aid of any foreign nation are
growing rapidly. When Stanley Matthews gave
utterance to his celebrated remark, What do we
care for abroad he was laughed at as fool.
But since that day the force Of that saying has
made itself more apparent and we are, in my
opinion. coming to the time when we must show
the world that we do not care for abroad.
This American idea means, of course, pro-
lection to American industries, and in that re-
spect will aid the Republican party. It also
means for coinage of silver, and in that it will
not aid either party as now constituted. as
neither party is pronounced in favor or against
silver or gold as money standard
When do you expect this America era will
set imp
1T has begun to dawn already. We have the
American opera. The New York Sun recently
advocated a mono silver standard-an American
standard, in other words-as a basis for Our
currency The labor organizations of the coun-
try demand the exclusion of the Chinese and
other contract laborers. In every branch OF
industry we have Americans treading upon the
heels of the older countries. American manu-
facturers of railway iron and steel have driven
the foreigner out Of our country Everv at
tempt at reciprocal commercial relations with
our neighbors has been vetoed by Congress. In
fact, in every direction in which we look we see

WASHINGTON, JAM 13.-'"The position Of Gen.
Malone to-day" said gentleman who is a care
full student of politics. 'is far better politically
than it has ever been before, in spite of his re-
verses in the late campaign"
How do you explain that statementl'
''An analysis of the vote of Virginia shows that
his following last fall consisted of more white
and fewer colored votes than he had in the past
The effect of the elections in 1884 was to frighten
the negroes at first, but after the inauguration of
President Cleveland and the incoming of the
Democratic administration, their fear subsided,
and the colored men Of Virginia and the other
Southern States found that they were not to be
molested as they had feared. The negro, az a
race, is a follower, an imitator. He is like a
sheep-wil jump every time the bell we.her
moves The sequence of the elections of 1884
was adecded gain of negro votes by the Demo
Gratis in 1885. Wise, of Virginia, lost thousands
of these votes but he gained hundreds of whites
as followers of his standard as partial recon
pense"
''What conclusions do you deduce from this
state of affairSs
''The dissolution of the color line and the sub
sequent breaking up of the solid South. Just
SO soon as the negroes begin to flock in compa-
MES to the Democratic standard, just so soon
will the whites begin to cast about for new
party. There will. of course. remain hundreds
of Bourbons In the old party of the past, and
thousands of negroes win remain faithful to the
party that made them citizens. But as a rule,
the two races will be found in opposite political
organizations.
Then you expect to find the Republican
party in the ascendency in the South againp
mot necessarily. But the Democrats will
lose ground there year by year, and If the Re-
publican party gives evidence of progress and
advancement it viii be the gamer. Otherwise,

that the remainder of the crew of the unfortun-
ate steamer had been picked up off Fire island,

being little frost bitten.
They kept company with the mates boat until
all of their oars but three were broken, and then
they began to drift up the coast The men
worked in relays and tried hard to make head
way toward the shore, but found it impossible
When darkness fell, their troubles and dangers
increased. The hands Of one Of the men were
frozen stiff. and he could not take his turn at the
oars. Within an hour after that three more
were in the same condition This imposed extra
labor upon the others, and all began to show
signs of exhaustion. The captain filled the
place of one of the disabled men, doing double
duty. He cheered his companions with the hope
of meeting some vessel that would rescue them,
for he was aware tbe-men knew, as well as him
self that In such sea and heavy gale the little
craft would never be landed with their oars

Portable as possible When the smack reached
here this morning, there was not food enough on
board to feed sparrow. The men were landed
at the Battery, and went directly to the British
consuls Office. Thence they were taken to the
Sailors Home. Captain Colvin says that the
steamer was seaworthy In every respect. He
says that in all of his long experience on the
sea he never encountered such waves and winds,
and that the snow gusts were perfectly binding

THE EASTERN PROBLEM.
Its Solution Not fastened by the Order Di-

Its Solution Not Hastened by the Order Di-
recting Disarmament
LONDON, Jan. 13.-Attention was called to the
dormant Balkans question yesterday by dis
patches announcing that the smaller states had
been ordered to disarm, the powers assuring
them that Turkey would follow suit. Such
mandates have so often been disregarded that
the solution of the Eastern problem is not re-
garded as having been in any way fastened by
this action of the powers. Belgrade dispatches
indicate that nothing but the final delimitation of
the Servo-B Bulgarian frontier by the approaching
conference of ambassadors at Berlin will be con-
sidered by Servia as sufficient reason for dis
arming, and so long as King Milan's forces are
in the field Bulgaria will, of course decline to
withdraw hers.
