MT. Blake, editor of Two Republics, City of Mexico, does not fear to speak the truth. In a recent issue of his paper he says that the American free silver or ators who ascribe the prosperity of Mex ico to its silver currency are badly In er- TOT. MeXico's prosperity is not due to free silver. Two years ago Mexico was in deep financial straits. and the Ameri- can orators who favored the gold stand ard pointed to Mexico as an example of the evil effect of the silver standard. The fact is that the present prosperity of Mexico is not due to silver. nor to any one cause, but to the linking together of many circumstances.

But the latter have a reserve force to draw on, for near ly every Cuban is a patriot. and will fight when called on. If there is battle about to take place in his neighborhood the Cuban planter will join the insurgents. and then go back to his farm next day. The body of the Spanish army is con- posed of young men not over 20, who have been recruited from the peasant class of Spain. They cannot endure the hardships incident to the campaign. They are different men from the hardened vet erans who followed Cortez and Pizarro. Many of the Spanish soldiers are resi- dents of Cuba, who take the first opportu- nifty to desert to the revolutionists.
