The Silver Dollar in Mexico.

TFrom the Washington Post, Ind.l
A correspondent Of the New York
Sun, writing from the City OF Mexico,
undertakes to show that the country in
which he is sojourning has been ruined
by cheap silver. He insists that the
laboring man is wronged and despoiled
through the medium of deprecated
currency" and complains that he does
not get even the poor consolation involv-
ed in large pay. He says;
"The question naturally arises, espec-
tally after one has heard the promises Of
the silver men on the floors OF Congress .
Why have wages not risen in Mexico ?
Why, even on silver basis. are they so
much lower than the lowest paid in the
United States? 1t must be remember
ee, too, that the wages paid here are in a
deprecated coin, worth only half as
much as the same amount received for
labor in the United States"

S THE POWER THAT TURNS BUSINESS TO YOUR STORE

The answer to this is very simple.
Wages are low because there is not labor
enough to go around. But it is not true
in any proper sense that "the depreciat-
ed coin" of Mexico is worth only half
as much as coin of the same nominal
value in this country. 1t is true so far
as the bankers can make it true, and so,
in purchasing United States exchange,
the Mexican dollar has value OF only
fifty cents but for all the purposes Of
the Mexican citizen his dollar is worth
quite as much to him there as our dollar
is worth to us here. Labor commands a
low price because there is so little de-
mand for it and because the supply is so
much in excess OF that demand, but the
Mexican dollar, once in hand, has fully
as great a purchasing power there as
the United States dollar has in this
country.

restaurants-to Omarini's or Recamier's,
or to the Tivoli San Cosme-and has a
delightful dinner for 81 or So a plate,
with the best of imported wines at New
York prices. At the Jockey Club, when
the writer was last in the Mexican capt.

fast, well-served, and cooked by a first
class Partisan chef, for 81. For So he
could have a banquet of eight or ten
courses-better in every way than is OBJ
tainable in Washington for half as much
again. All this in deprecated money"
Clothing and wearing apparel generally
cost about the same there as here, which
means, according to the Suns correspon.
dent, that they cost just half as much.
Some articles come much higher than
the same articles here, and vice versa
but these differences are due to physical
cause.-the same causes that make the
pineapple and the alligator pear cost in
Mexico less than one-quarter the price
charged here.
The fact remains, however, that one
Mexican dollar will buy as much in
Mexico as one United States dollar will
buy here. The Mexican dollar is ode
preciated" only when the banks get
hold of it and manipulate it in the inter-
est OF recommendation.
There are many, and, as we see the
matter, convincing arguments to be urged
against the indiscriminate coinage of sill
yer by this country, but the Suns cor
"An American Democrat"
goes sadly wide OF the mark in looking
to Mexico for them. He appears to have
taken very hasty and very superficial
view OF things, and to have overlooked
the facts altogether. Perhaps, though,
he is writing as a special pleader, not as
a historian or a philosopher, and prefers
to make his facts to suit the emergencies
OF his argument.

Honor And Money.

From the San Francisco Bulletin Rep.l
The advocates OF gold monometalism
have exhausted whatever virtue there
may have been in the terms "honest
money!" sound money" and safe cur
rency." The use Of these terms is an as
sumption OF superior morality which i'll
becomes a school Of finance which has
designedly increased the purchasing
power of the money OF the country. The
most honest dollar that can be coined is
the dollar that most nearly corresponds
in purchasing power with the dollar OF
former periods. There may be dishon-
esty in legislation which causes money
TO appreciate in value in its relation TO
commodities. as well as in legislation
that creates money OF a relatively infer
ior value. The man who assumes that
all who differ from him are dishonest
has often been encountered among the
lower grades OF intelligence. There are

THE PRODUCE BUSINESS.
A standard" Reporter Collects Informa-
tion From Mr.. stevens

Missoula. Nov. IA. NJ. Stevens, the
head of the local commission firm, was
interviewed this morning by a Stand
ard reporter and. in response to a
question. gave the following informa-
ton which will be of general interest,":
This season has been a peculiar one
in the produce business. Although the
berry and vegetable crops have been
somewhat below the average, the sea-
son has been a profitable one for the
farmers. The short crop naturally
caused an increase in prices over last
year and there has been this year a
much stronger demand for Bitter Root
and Missoula fruit and vegetables.
This has enabled the growers to dis
pose of their crops to a much better
advantage than ever before.
I'VE have enough hay and vegeta-
bles to supply the demand and are do
ing a good business at prices consider
ably above those of last season. Hay
is now 81 a ton higher than last year;
potatoes are 20 cents "a hundredweight
higher, and cabbage is 20 cents higher
At these prices there is a good de-
mand and we are making regular ship
ments.
The prices for apples are about 40
per cent lower than those of a year
ago. as "a result of the curt made by
washington and ldaho growers, put
the local crop has been so much heav-
Ter this year that the growers in the
Bitter Root and Missoula valleys will
make a good profit. We have shipped
this month 1.21S boxes of No. Bitter
Root apples and are now filling a con-
tract for 1000 boxes. The demand for
Bitter Root apples has been better this
year than any time since we have been
in business.
The berry crop this year was short
on account of the late frosts and the
shipments from here were much less
than the average. The price was about
81 so a case above the figures OF 1894.
/ consider the berry business as one of
the most profitable in which farmers
can engage here. The Efinger ranch
up in the Rattlesnake valley. has three
acres planted in strawberries and from
this area we shipped this season 1888
worth of No. berries. In a good sea-
son this figure would be doubled.
About $500 cases of berries will, l
think. cover the Missoula valley ship
ments for this year. l have no esti-
mate of the crop of the Bitter Root,
but 1 know that 1t was much larger
than the local WELD"
