Silver in Mexico.

There has been no more valuable
contribution to the discussion Of the
silver question now going on in
Europe and the United States than a
paper in the June number Of the
North American Review from the pen
Of M. Romero, the Mexican minister
at Washington, on the practical work
ings Of the silver standard in his own
country, more particularly the effect
upon 1t Of the fall in the value Of sill
yer incident to the general closing
against 1t Of the minis Of this coun-
try, Europe and India. He does not
write in advocacy Of a theory and
does not in any way, directly or by
implication, attempt to influence
American public opinion upon the sill
yer question as it confronts our own
people.
The most notable fact is that Mex
leo has escaped the hard times Of the
last two years. Prices, wages, rents,
etc., have been more stable; agricul-
ture is thrifty and manufactures are
increasing. Notwithstanding the low
price Of silver, the mining Of 1t is
profitable. The high price Of gold is
stimulating the search for gold and
the working Of the mines discovered.
Under the head Of disadvantages from
the silver standard is enumerated the
decline in importation. 1.-The fact"
he says, "that foreign commodities
have to be paid for in gold makes
them so high that 1t operates as a

This governments experiments
come a little high. For instance up
to date the cost Of preparing for the
enforcement of the income tax law
now declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court, aggregates about
100000. All the printing done in
preparing blank forms Of returns is a
dead loss There were appointed
24O deputy collectors Of internal
revenue for the especial purpose of
handling this tax, all of whom will
now be gradually dismissed. At some
of the larger offices a few special
deputies may be kept for short
time to assist in closing up the work
of refunding the money already paid
in. Up to May 18th the amount paid
in was; By corporations, $l6,642.59;
by persons, $55,521.54. Since that
date about 81, 1000 has been received,
making the total in round figures,
$4,000. This money will be re-
funded.

Liberty on the CURRENCY Question.


Liberty on the Currency Question.
LIBERTY, Mo-, June 5.-SenatorF. M.
Cockrell addressed large and enthu-
sisstic audience in the courthouse here
yesterday on the silver question. He
said that the vital point at issue for
the democratic party is monometalism,
supported by statistics; that the demor
cratic party Is and has always been
the support Of free coinage.
"Bimetallism is the cardinal issue OF
the democratic party" he said. "Con.
gress has the power only to create the
value Of money in the sense Of It's ppr-
chasing and debt-paying powers. A
nations money takes its value only in
its capacity to pay debts and to pur.
chase There is no such thing as In.
trinsic value, There Is not a sufficient
amount Of gold in the world, coined or
uncoined, to supply the demands Of the
world, commercially even being only
about SO. II $40 per capita
1.-THE coinage governs the demand.
Unlimited coinage produces an un.
limited demand, and limited coinage
forces satisfaction on a limited de.
mand.
There is no such thing as this driv.
ing the gold from the country. The
demand across the waters drawing the
gold over will decrease the demand
there and increase 1t here.H

correspondent Of the Council Grove
Republican. That is a kind Of adj
vice that no Republican paper should
admit to its columns. The cardinal
principle Of Republicanism is full,
fair and free discussion of economic
questions. II the Republican party
cannot stand the presentation of all
sides of question it is not worth
working for. Only the Pops are so
bigoted as to boycott opposition
books and advise their members not
to read opposition papers. 1t is the
Republicans duty to read all sides
and especially in this silver question.

and be prepared to vote as you think
in the party councils. In that way
the party will carry out the best

protective duty upon them. They
are beyond the reach Of the middle
classes" But expectation is increas-
ing. The latter has increased about
threefold since 1873. In explanation
Of all this, NJ. Romero remarks:
"The low price Of silver abroad
makes 1t Improbable to export it,
and its value at home makes It use
fnl in all industries, and we send out
our agricultural products to pay for
our imports and for our gold obliga-
tons, keeping at home our silver and
thus increasing our circulation, SO
that we now have an ample supply Of
money in our banks. That fact, OF
course, stimulates industry, main
tains the prices, and increases the
demand for labor
Perhaps the most surprising state
ment Of all is that the silver policy of
Mexico attracts foreign capital, in
stead Of repelling it. When loaned
on gold-bearing obligations the gold
interest is kept up and paid by the
favorable balance Of trade. But here
are the minister's own words on this
remarkable point:
1.-The fact that every gold dollar is
converted into two silver dollars
when sent to Mexico encourages the
investment in Mexico Of foreign cap
ital from the rich countries which
have the gold standard. When that
capital is invested in producing
commodities sold in gold markets
coffee, for instance-the profits to in
vestors are very large indeed"
These are are the more striking
points of this very timely article
Romero does not intend, evidently,
to advocate the single silver standard.
Mexico is the largest producer Of
silver Of any country. Two-thirds OF
the present stock Of that money
metal is estimated to have'come from
Mexican mines during the last four
hundred years. Nature made that
country monometallic, as 1t did the
United States bimetallic.- Chicago
