TIE CAUSE OF SILVER

The Springfield Republican notes
asserted that the Democrats Of Texas
are practically unanimous in favor of
the free coinage of silver. in spite of
the fact that The people If thai State
are in close business contact with
Mexico, where the evils of the silver
standard are said 10 he 80 rampant. a
business man Of Bolton. Tex writes
to the Atlanta Constitution to say that
the last Democratic State convention
in Texas voted down the free silver
plank that the coming convention is
practically certain 70 do likewise, and
that the representatives Of every
county. save one on the Mexican
border, voted against the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at a ratio of
16 to /. That all proves that the Mex
leans have more sense than the
Texans, Mexico was never so
porous in the world as she is today, at
least ave since before she achieved
her independence from Spain. She
wants two millians Of strong men to
come and help develope her resources,
offering them land and money if they
will, that she can become a great
power. Texas will not this veal clear
expenses for her work, unless it be a
little saving on cotton, and she will
not do that if she hired and paid
white labor generous wages. The
ordinary Eastern paper points to
Mexico as though she had always
been a silver standard country, and
as though it was because of that that
50 many of her people are degraded,
and that SO little progress has been
made there for a hundred years. The
truth is, that up to 1873 she was as
much a gold standard country as the
United States. She used both metals
But her real progress has begun since
by the action Of our Government and
of the governments Of Europe, gold
has appreciated 100 per cent in value,
and 50 she uses silver, and the result
is that if her people twenty-five years
ago could have been on an equal
plane with our own, could she have
been covered with factories and with
fully developed agricultural resources.
she would have beaten us out Of sight
in these last fifteen years in every
feature of prosperity.

BULLION PROPHECIES.

Some weeks ago it was given out
that some more Mint bullion was
about to be discovered in the neal
future. The Tribune of last Saturday
starts out in an artical in which it
prophesyed that some more bullion
will be unearthed, but later on in the
article it says it has been found. The
public was not surprised at this, as
the talk about bullion on the eve of
being found, has been industriously
circulated in this city for sometime.
Some more red fire will be lighted in.
