MONTEREY, n. L., April "a, 1894.
To the LIGHT.
In December 1898, the Congress
OF Tamaulipas put a tax on all
goods that were imported by the
merchants of Nuevo Laredo, Mata-
moras and Tampico, which bore
heavily On them. The Boards of
Trade of those cities sent a COM
mittee to call on the governor, and
see if they could not get him to re-
duce the tax.
The Board of Trade of Nuevo La
redo appointed Senior Francisco
Martinez, Matamoras, Seniors
Jose Maria Marahoto, Antonio
Cahazas and Tampico Senior Juan
Prom.
During the first week Of April
they met at Victoria, called on the
governor and presented their petit
ton. After he read it he sent a
message to the Congress, which
was then in session, recommending
the reduction of taxes, which they
did. They put a tax of 2 per cent.
on liquor and tobacco, and allowed
everything else in free which was
satisfactory to the merchants of
the three cities.
RAILWAYS.
The right-of-way men of the
Mexican International railway
are still in the city examining
titles. The engineer corps are now
within twenty-five miles of Mon
terey with the location. AS soon
as the road is located active work
will commence on it.
The Monterey and Mexican Gulf
railway have a number of con-
struction trains balasting their
road. The business of this road be-
tween here and TampicO is con-
stantly increasing.
Business on the Mexican Ma
tional is also increasing. Both
roads haul large quantities OF ore
to the Monterey shelters and so
has the Mexican international rail
way.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE POOR.
Sunday, the 22nd, the ladies of
the San Vincent society gave a
picnic at Calderon's garden, for the
benefit of the poor of Monterey. AS
this society is composed of the
elite of Monterey, they never fail
to raise a large sum of money, and,
Judging by the number Of people !
who went to the garden last Sun
day, they must have raised a
handsome sum.
DIED.
On the morning Of the Dist, the
only son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. N.
Gibson died, aged one year, six
months and nineteen days, and

There IS now a vacant space
A chair and broken hearth.
May Joy their spirits fill
All care and sorrow move,
And remember It's His will
Who hath spoken
He rests in peace"
Their little girl has been very
sick also, but is much better to-
day.

A new method of mining, milling,
roasting and smelling different kinds
of ores has been successfully demon
strated in Germany and is now be-
ing introduced with unprecedented
success. The slow and cumbersome
methods heretofore employed will
be discarded, and the cost OF various
ores in treatment OF conversion into
metal, especially lead, zinc, and sill
yer ores, nickel, cobalt and copper,
greatly reduced. All the matte of
the latter, which was heretofore sent
to Germany, is now being refined in
the United State. The Hartsfeld
German Mining Syndicate, of New
port, KY, invites correspondence.

News is scarce when mails are de-
layed.
Are you going to the masquerade
next Friday?
Bert Hunt took the mail to the
Springs yesterday ON horseback.
A pleasant social dance took the
place of the masquerade last night.
Mrs. Sprague has had to postpone
the long anticipated masquerade till
next Friday on account of the non
arrival of suits.
VIM. Tierney and G. P. Downing
came in yesterday from the Falls.
They came by rail as far as Belt,
took stage to Monarch and finally
reached Neihart by private convey
ance. The snow has drifted and
crusted badly along the railroad,
and it looks impossible that we
should receive a train before next
week.
Mr.. Lunsford, daughter of Mrs. G
A. Allen sustained severe injuries

Com, the ardent champion of the
silver cause, in it's December num-
Der, publishes replies to it's question
put to the governors of the states,
"What is honest money!" The one
given by Governor Richards of our
W blighted state, pertinent, timely,
and thoroughly patriotic is as fol-
lows:
"Money that honestly performs it's
functions as the measure of value is
honest money. Money that best on
serves the interests of the whole peo-
pie in the exchange of commodities
and in the transaction of business is
honest money. Money which by
reason of it's scarcity discriminates
against the interests of the masses,
cheapening the price of labor and in
creasing the aggregate Indebtedness
of the people, is not honest money.
Money which in the nature of things
compels the people to do business
more and more on credits and less
and less with cash is not honest mon
ey. No money can be called honest
that becomes a dishonest measure OF
value by approaching its own value
and correspondingly diminishing the
value of that for which it is ex
changed. Honest money gives to nc
class or section of the country undue
business advantages over any Other
class or section, through fnancia
manipulation. This can be accom-
plished by preventing imitation of the
currency on the one hand, and re
sultant depreciation, and contraction
on the other hand, bringing paraly
sis to business and ruin to vested in
terests. To effect these ends, tina
the government may deal with abso
lutte fairness and justice to the debt
or class, assure the prosperity of thu
masses, accord to capital its prope
protection in the promotion of enter
prises, and guarantee the genera
welfare of the people, through a sta
BILE and enduring currency, gold an
silver should be jointly used as NOR
ely, and the free coinage of thes
metals made the permanent %financia
policy of the nation"

WHAT THE EDITORS SAY.

Enterprise: In his recent message
to congress-, Cleveland went away
out of his path to thump Pat. Egan
for extending Inequalities to Gillian
refugees. After a rather long silence
Egan comes back at the burly dicta-
tor and completely refutes all the
cowardly charges contained against
him in the message. AS those two
persons stand before the American
people today, the following differ
ence between them is plainly percep-
tible: Egan, though born in a for
eign land, has become an ideal Am
erican; Cleveland, though born in
America, has shown himself verify
an ideal foreigner.
Chicago Dem.) Times: How did
President Cleveland get to be worth
$2,OOO,OOO in eight years? A man
who on his merits never made a dol
lar and V will. On what bush
did he find those millions growi ng?
What law practice, or what other
business bore those millions to the
waiting Cleveland pocket? I'll tell
you. Every dollar, ave the incuba-
ted Red Top 100000 which were
Matched from snobbish eggs in a nest
of real estate; every other dollar, l
say, of the Cleveland millions repre-
sents the heart beat of a stock ticker.
Montanian: Dawson county has
but thirteen names on its delinquent
tax list this year. Eight of these are
delinquent on town property and the
other five on ranches. This gives to
Dawson the banner for the smallest
number of delinquents as we'll as for
the smallest number of tax payers.
Inter Mountain: 1t still remains a
solemn truth that the democratic
party a pass a free coinage bill
and make it a law of the land with.
in ten days if it wishes to do so. II
has the votes, the power and the op'
portunlty. ,
Ibid: The democratic party prom
Used to do something for silver. AL
it has done however is to undo wha'
the republican party did. The silver

, must now be waged with incessan
| energy, and increasing loyalty to A
merican institutions.
