MEXICo's PROSPERITY.
SENATOR rELLEa's REPORT.


He Found the Land OF tfee silver Colin
age Insrsasiss In Wealth. -orowth
Of Manufacturing.
Senator Teller, who has been in
Mexico for recreation and TO study the
money question, returned to Washing
ton few daysago. He reports cordial
reception from President, Diaz and
other officials. In an interview he
spoke Of Mexico's prosperity as fol-
lows:
Mexico is enjoying . greater de-
gree Of prosperity than ever before,
and there is a very hopeful feeling
among the people, both native and
foreign, as to the future. Manufac-
lures are springing up everywhere.
The country has made great progress
in the industrial arts and pursuits DUR
ing the last seven or eight years and
all the foreigners that l met said that
tho progress made in that time was
phenomenal and would continue. The
high price Of exchange has stimulated
the production Of many articles not
heretofore produced in Mexico, and
< Diunlate the export Of az
y - ~ is particu-
{ ~ = found quite
a numbsf snd English
capitalists who are putting their money
into coffee plantations. But it is
quite apparent to me that the greatest
field for investment is in general man
ufactures, including the production Of
cotton and wooden goods, as well as
the manufacture Of machinery Of all
kinds and classes.
1.-THE present production Of silver
in Mexico" he said, NOW amounts to
about $42, 900, 600 annually, and do
not believe it will diminish, but rath-
er expect to see it increase. There is
a desire to see the United States take
hold Of the silver question and settle
it. l visited very large Gotten mill
there that had $4,000 spindles and
1000 looms with all the modern ap-
pliances and l was quite surprised to
learn that most Of the cotton being
consumed was from Texas. While
Mexico produces great deal or cotton
it does not produce as much as is con-
sumed in the manufactures of tho
country. There are many other new
and extensive manufactures, such as
large iron mandatory at Durango and
furniture mandatory in the City Of
Mexico, which is supplying the peo-
pie with furniture for which they have
heretofore sent to Europe. y
~ visited the mint in Mexico, a
very large establishment, which has
been in operation great many years,
and has produced more silver coins
than any other mint in the world.
They have no gold in circulation, but
have bills, the same as in this country.
Silver is the general circulating me.
dunn, and is the standard Of value.
There has been no falling off Of prices
in Mexico rs has been the case in tho
United States for the last twenty
years, and prices have been practically
stable, except as there has been, some
slight increase because Of the increased
activity Of business which, Of course,
has tendency to raise prices of pro-
ducts as we'll rs slightly to raise tho
price Of labor, but not very much"
In reply to a question Mr.. Teller
said: There seems to be no special
interest in nm international conference
except rs 1t may affect tho United
States by inducing us to rcmonctizc
silver. Mexico will maintain FREQ
coinage, no matter what other coun-
tries may do.

Zone thing forgot to say at Sail
da. Much Of the work Of the last ses-
sion was done illegally and had to
veto many bills not ON their merits or
dement's, but on technicality. l
think the legislature would do its duty
to aid our men and women who are out
Of work. There are many things it
can do; too many to enumerate. Per-
haps the members Of the legislature
will not agree with me, but think it
is time for Colorado to say that the
cause Of free silver has not been ADAM
doncd. John G. Carlisle has sounded
the death Of free coinage. II is not a
time for the people of Colorado to look
with inactivity upon the dcscrtion Of
free coinage by both the old parties. /

Amos J. Cummings TAN hsm
bright Men.


. Congressman Cummings Of New
York in letter 10 the New York Sun
describing the Populist members Of
the House, has the following good
words for Messrs Pence and Bell Of
Colorado:
'The most brilliant of the Populists
in the House is LATE Pence Of Colo
RADIO. He is as breezy in debate as the
wind scattering cones from the Rocky
Mountain pines. Tall, thin and
straight, with a voice as shrill and
clear as the notes Of game cock, he
attracts the attention Of the House the
instant he takes the floor. Words
pour from him in rhythmic fuency.
His gestures arc we'll timed and his
points are keenly clinchcd with peril
nent anecdotes.
Pence was born in Indiana in the
shadow Of the Tall Sycamore Of the
Wabash. He is graduate Of Hanover
College, and has practiccd law ever
since 1873. lie will be SO years old
in December next. He has a boyish
appearance and is neglige in dress.
Ponce fills the place occupied by Tom
Watson in the last C congress, and FILE
it far more acceptably. Watson
aroused bitter animositics, but Pence,
while speaking with all of Watson's
ardor and effectiveness, is 4 general
favorite in the House. In discussion
he is as quick as a humming bird. His
tilt with Bynum at the beginning Of
the session gave him well-merited re-
nown. Modest and unassuming, yet
active and untiring, he is ever on the
skirmish line, cleaning whatever little
advantage for his party that is to be
obtained. He has full blue eye and
brown hair combed in Jacksonian sim
plicity. Pence keeps the blood in cir
culation in the Populist body in the
House.
"A really demonstrativc Populist is
John Y. Bell Of Colorado. Bell, like
Pence, is rara avis among stump
speakers. lie was born in Grundy
county, Tenn, and has lived in Colo.
RADIO since 1874. His speeches in the
late campaign in Virginia attracted
much attention. lie has made one or
two speeches in the House that have
shaken up the dry bones. Mr.. Bell is
six years older than hi, colleague, Mr..
Pence. II the Populists arc to hold
their own in Congress and increase
their membership, il will require the
continuous service Of men like Bell
and Pence TO do it. There are already
indications that the Republicans are
rcgaining their foothold in Colorado.
If this is so, there will be high old
times in the Rocky Mountains next
fall. Bell and Pence will probably
find il easier 10 magnetic the miners
than to bcwitch the farmers Of Vir.
sinin. Wherever they appear they arc
sure to have large audiences and 10
awaken enthusiasm.
