THE MEXICAN LETTER.

In this mornings RECORD-UNIoN we
present the fifth letter of Professor Ber-
nard Moses from Mexico. These letters
have excited much and wide interest for
still for their anal teal character and the
mastery manner in which the social and
commercial conditions of Mexico are
treated, and the lucid style in which are
depicted the development of new Mex
leo, the resources Of which are exploited
and the future of the "Sister Repu blio"
forecast.
In the letter given to-day Professor
Moses treats sxtendedly of cotton grow
Ing and manufacture in Mexico, and
points out great possibilities in these di-
rections. He considers also the land
monopoly of the country and the practi-
cally medieval character of land hold
ings and land tilling, and as incidental to
ence of railway construction upon such
holdings and industry.
The railway builder finds his largest
interest in the subdivision OF large es-
tates. Monopolization of productive
lands offer to him the least inducement
to construct and the smallest possible. or
no guarantee of main tainance. He well
knows that through" traffic between
the Atlantic and Mexico will not well
support lines of rail, but that local de-
velopment of traffic is an absolute neces-
sity to him. Therefore the influence Of
ion of lands, and their occupancy not by
landed barons. but by multitude of
small cultivators.
Before this desideratum can be at
tanned, however, there must come upon
Mexico change of Governmental policy.
that will in a sense force division Of es-
tates and baronies by system that will
render it Improbable to hold them in
idleness.
1TOleSSOI MOrS6 COQBlQeTS also the ca =
paoity of the west, or Pacific slope of
Mexico, for cotton culture, and finds it
to be even more inviting than the gulf
side. But as yet railways have not been
built upon this slope to the Pacific, and
therefore the obstacle of ancient, slow and
insufficient transportation methods OBJ
tains.
The letter will be found deeply inter-
esting and broadly informing. The man
who wishes to keep posted upon the in
fuences operating for the transformation
of Mexico industrially and socially, cam
not afford to neglect it's reading. More
ever, as the reviving of our neighbor is
to exert direct and most essential inhu-
ence upon California aud the whole
United States, the observations and con-
illusions of Professor Moses are OF special
value to all readers who have the interest
of their country at heart.

DISCOVERY.

The invention of Dr. R. v Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y,
has, during the past thirty years, made a
record in the cure of bronchial, throat and
lung diseases that fairly entities it to out
rank all other advertised remedies for these
affections. Especially has it manifested its
potency in curing consumption of the lungs.
Not every case, but we believe
Fully % Per Cent.
of all cases of consumption III all its earlier
stages, are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
b1eedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with Copious eXpectorat1on tlnclud-
ing tubercular matter, great loss OF flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emu1sions % and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Street Superintendent Murray Informs the
RECoRD-UNI that he has been making q
rough estimate OF the manure droppings on
the residence streets, based on the amount OF
sweepings taken from the bituminized streets
and-well, he is amazed and declines TO an
nounce his conclusions. He says simply this:
"The residence streets ought to be cleaned,
and that frequently"
The code of laws for the Chamber of Com
merce has been reported and will be submit
ted for adoption in a few days. 1t has been
wisely recommended that there shall be no
election for officers of the chamber until
there are listed 800 subscribing members.
That is right. II there are not 500 citizens
willing 10 back their faith in the value of a
Chamber of Commerce let the thing drop, and
let Sacramento take the disgrace as best she
can. Really, so highly do we esteem the new
movement that we believe 600 members can
be secured. They ought to come forward
voluntarily, put down their names and put
up their cash.
The Chinese in San Francisco are attempt
ing to put out the light OF his Exceilency, the

The probabilities are that they will do it.

plish he generally succeeds in effecting.

Give lis Free Beef!

Our Washington correspondent tele-
graphs that the Herald's plea for free
beef meets with the unanimous ap-
prevail of the Cab net.
The Secretary OF Agriculture is re
ported as expressing the belief that a
beef combination exists. Mr.. Morton
does not think that the present big
profits on beef go to the farmers who
sell live cattle, or to the bur chers who
retail the meat. In holding this opin-
ion he is not alone.
But it is evident that consumers will
not obtain relief from the high prices
of meat by means of the Antitrust
law, which is a demagoglc and i'm
potent measure. The only law which
can ever aid the people in preventing
an undue rise of the prices of any com
modify is law making importations
free of custom house duties and allow
ing foreign supplies to come into the
country without let or hindrance from
tariffs. "Protectionists" have run
their theory into the ground, and have
virtually closed American ports to
cargoes of dressed meat. Now, in a
time of beef scarcity. the people must
go without an adequate supply of
meat, while neighboring nations have
millions of surplus cattle.
Free trade in cattle. sheep and
dressed meat could not injure the
farmer, who derives little or no bene-
fit from the inflated retail prices of
meat. But it would be an immense
help to every consumer. 1t would Sc
cure, even when the home supply falls
short, an ample supply of foreign meat
for our markets, and would thus en-
able all classes of the people to get a
sufficiency of good meat at low prices
The agitation for free beef should. be
earnestly pressed.-N Y. Herald.

The Income Tax.

The Washington correspondent of
the Alexandria Gazette says that Com
missioner Miller of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau said this morning that
from official return received and from
semi official estimates he places the ag-
gregate to be obtained from the income
tax at 100000. When the corrected
returns are all in and the penalties i'm
posed collected, the amount will be in
creased to nearly $15,00O.00O. Mr.. Mil
ler's estimate of the revenue from the
income tax under the law as passed
was $50, 100000, and under the law after
the Supreme Court passed upon it,
$500 900.
1t is confidently expected in Wash
ington that the U. S. Supreme Court
will grant the petition for a rehearing
of the income tax case, but that the
hearing will not take place until next
October.

Sound Money.

The New York Herald says it should
be made plain to every agriculturist
that the lower price of his produce is
due to causes that have affected values
all over the world; that the decline in
these is equalled, if not exceeded, by
the fall in the manufactured goods he
consumes.
Every working man should be made
to see that a law declaring that fifty
cents worth of silver should be called
dollar would cut his wages in two by
doubling the price of shelter, food and
raiment for his family, and would rob
him of one half Of the savings he has in
bank or in the form of insurance on his
life or vested in any building or benefit
association. People who fancy they
would personally have more dollars if
the government would only coin a lot
of them should be taught that they
could not get any of them unless they
had something to give in exchange,
nor borrow them without security, and
that there are already plenty of dol
lars lying idle in the banks at the com
mand of any who can comply with
these conditions-eighteen millions of
them in the form of au unemployed
surplus to day in the banks of New
York city which their owners would be
glad to lend at a very low rate upon
good security. All the disconnected
should be made to see that their indi
vidual prosperity is bound up with the
prosperity of the whole people, and
that this depends above all things up
on an honest, sound and stable cur
rency.

Democracy Not Dead ,

Many republicans are evidently over
! sanguipe when they look toward the
| battle of ballots in 1896. They think
! the result in the last Congressional
election means such a reputation Of
the Democratic party as to destroy all
possibility of Democratic success in the
next Presidential election. Then again.
they are relying on the lack of har
mOny among Democrats on the silver
question to still further demoralize the
party.
1t is evident, however, that the last
Democratic defeat was Intended more
as a rehnke to certain professed Demo.
Gratis, who had proven by their actions
| that they were wolves in sleeps cloth
ing, than as an endorsation of Repuh-
lican principles.
AS to the monetary question, there
Is as much harmony among Democrats
as Republicans.
When Mr.. Clevela nd was elected the
last time the people repudiated the Re.
publican party because it had tried to
fasten upon them the force bill and had
refused to give them the relief from op
pressive burdens that they felt they
were justly entitled to.
When Democratic Congress, by the
dc1iou vi tue TRAITORS ABOVE reIerreO
to, failed to carry out to the letter the
promises made in the Democratic plat
form, the people in their Indignation
administered severe rebuke to such
| treachery.
Let the Democratic masses continue
to condemn, as they have done since it
became apparent that there were trait
| ors in the camp, all means used to &C,
| complish the defeat of putting Demo
cratic principles into effectuaT opera
ton, and organize the party ora clear
ly defined platform in the interest of
the general public, at the same time
paying proper regard to the nomina
tion of pure and incorruptible men as
standard bearers, and there will be
such an awakening as TO eonvice the
, Republicans that Democracy is not
