Dir. A. A. ROBINSON, who has been
some time in Mexico in connection with
the management of the Mexican Central
railroad, adds his testimony to the great
mass OF evidence regarding the great
benefits resulting from the free use of
silver as money. The people of the
United States might as we'll be enjoying
some of the prosperity resulting from an
abundance of American money and
would be doing SO, if the control of af-
fairs had not drifted into the hands of
the gold worshippers. The beneficial
results of free coinage of silver at this
time would be greatly enhanced by the
fact that it has been demonetized over so
large a portion of the world If the
European countries had the silver mines
that we have, they would not wait for
any conference with any body but would
restore silver at once.
