very little about the business CT
the country. While in the coun-
try he has only visited one town
outside of the City of Mexico, and
could not be fully informed as to
the business of the country and
what the merchants are doing.
The unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law will cost the manu-
facturers of the United States hun
dreds of millions of dollars, and
its repeal will be worth thousands
of millions of dollars to Mexico.
The Mexican dollar has the same
purchasing power in Mexico that
it ever had. 1t is only when they
have to pay for American goods
that it takes ia cents to pay for
an American dollars worth of
goods. This they will not pay;
they will try[and get along with
out them until they get their own
factories in operation.
The destruction of silver as
money by the United States Con-
gress will cause the erection of
thousands of factories throughout
the Republic of Mexico.
Mexico today is peaceful and
prosperous as it never was before.
Companies are being organized to
work mines, erect smelters, estab-
lish factories, cultivate the soil,
raise fruit and develop the resour-
ces of the country. There are hun
dreds of dollars in circulation to-
day among the people to five years
ago. All this is due to Wall street
and London bankers in their eff
forts to demOnetiZe silver. The
Mexican merchants are not kick
ing on account of the repeal of the
Sherman bill. It's repeal will
bring more capital into the
country for the erection of factor
les.
SHIPMENT OF ORANGES.
Last week seven carloads of
oranges were shipped from Monte
morelos, over the Monterey and
Mexican Gulf railway, to Kansas
City and st. Louis. In six DAYS

The Spring,

OF all seasons in the year, is the one for
making radical chsnges in regard TO
health. During the winter, the system
becomes to q certain extent clogged with
waste, and the blood loaded with impuri-
ties, owing to lack of exercise, close con-
finement 10 poorly ventilated shops and
homes, and other causes. This is the
cause of the dull. sluggish, tired feeling
so general at this season, and which
must be overcome, or the health may be
entirely broken down. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla has attained the greatest popularity
all over the country as the favorite
Spring Medicine. 1t expels the accumu-
lation of impurities through the bowels,
kidneys. liver, lungs and skin, gives to
the blood the purity and quality neces-
sary to good health and oyercomes that
tired feeling.
