MINISTER ROMERO
ON SILVER.
Says the Silver Standard is a
Good Thing in Mexico.

New York, May 31-Mr. Ro-
nero, the Mexican minister at
Washington, contributes to the
June number of the North Amer
rican Review an article which
is of interest in its bearing
upon the discussions of the sill
yer question. MIR Romero points
out that while other leading
commercial nations have the
gold standard, the silver stand
ard in Mexico encourages very
largely the increase of exports
of domestic products. The sill
yer standard also stimulates
the development of home man
ufactures, the price of foreign
commodities being so high that
it pays we'll to make some Of
them at home. One great adj
vantage on which Mr.. Romero
lays stress is that the low price
of silver abroad makes it I'M
profitable to export it. The
circulation is therefore inereas-
ed so that there is now an am
pie supply of money in the
banks, which stimulates indus
try, maintains prices and in
creases the demand for labor.
On the other l..;nd, he points
out that the silver standard has
greatly reduced ilnportations,
and import duties mich until
recently were the largest source
of Mezican revrniie afe there
fore much diminished.

and it is estimated that there
was in the country S660,0O0,OO0
of gold when it ceased, under
British jurisdiction, to be coin
ed.
But if all the nations want
gold will there be enough to go
around2
We can have the best, and it
would be an extraordinary
spectacle of self-abnegation for
the United States to take silver
in order that there might be
gold enough for other nations.
Is not the gold giving out9
There was produced in the
world, from the discovery of
America to 1850, 152 779,O5O
fine ounces of gold, and from
1851 to the end of 1894 there
was produced (the figures for
1894 being partly estimated)
261, $3.50, $40 fine ounces. In the
first five years of California and
Australia production the
worlds production was 32,O51, :
621 fine ounces, and in the past
five years it was "a 1884, 37 fine
ounces. During the past ten
years there has been an in
crease in the output of every
important gold yielding coun
try.

Corpus Christi Texas sun.


Pat Dunn told the story. II
was about a battle with q
Jewish at Corpus Christi Pass.
Reaching the last chapter he
said: Il amt sure whether the
fish jumped over the boat or
dived under, but l think he
jumped over. There was a
shock and a conclusion, and |
arose just in tine to see him
disappearing miles ont to sea
with the remnant of my 50 fish
line streaming through the air
after him like the trail of a
prize comet. A week later lie
was stranded by the tide,
identified by my fishline, and
cut open. In his stomach was
found a keg of paint, a feather
bed, a pair of boomers, a sec
ton of a bicycle, Webster's
dictionary and a pig of lead.
Gentlemen, he was a large fish"
For some moments silence
engulfed us as the chairman
cleared his husky throat and
prepared to deliver the prize to
Mr.. Dunn in a neat speech. AT
this instant Pollak, who had
been listening intently, arose
and held up his hand. "Mr.
Dunn" said he, impressively,
"what was that last article
found in his stomach?"

ing his clear, honest eyes fear

you hear me say it?''
Gentlemen. [ protest."
screamed Pollak, Indignantly.
"No Jewish would ever swallow
a pig of anything, and 1 won't
swallow that lie" And in the
howl of rage that arose against
Pat for having deceived us,
Pollak, who had told a tale of
catching an eighteen carat
goldfish, scooped in the pot.

MONEY AND ITS
MATERIALS.
Some Plain Answers to Some
Plain Questions. Read
Them.
Laredo News.

What is money?
Anything that circulates free
ly and customarily between
any man in exchange for ser
vices and merchandise.
What two main classes of
money are there4
Merchandise and promises to
pay merchandise.
Give examples of each.
Skins, shells. metals, etc.,
are merchandise and serve the
purpose of money just in pro-
portion as they are desired for
use or ornament by any COM
munity of men. Pieces of paper
and like substance serve as
money when they convey to the
bearer the right to a certain
quantity of specified merchan-
disc.
Why have gold and silver,
more than other things, come
to be used as moneys
Because they are desired by
all men, everywhere and at all
times.
Where wages and prices are
very low, and transactions rare
and petty, gold coins would be
too small or too valuable for
convenient use. Where wages
and prices are high, and ex-
changes frequent and large in
amount, silver coins would be
too heavy, or too many ofthem
would be needed for convenient
use.
What do the money metals
indicate, then, as to a country's
condition!
The brass "cash" of China
indicate that the people are in
a state of extreme degradation;
the silver dollar of Mexico indi-
Gates a higher condition of the
people; the gold coin and its
paper representatives of the
United States and the greater
part of Europe indicate the
highest industrial conditions.
Whence comes the idea that
while gold may do for the rich,
silver money is more suitable
for poor peoplel
From a confusion of quantity
with value. OF food a man
needs quantity and the cheap
er it is the more easily he can
procure it. Of money he needs
value, and it is no easier to
earn a dollars worth of silver
than a dollars worth of gold.
France, at the head of the
Latin Monetary Union, of course
uses little or no gold2
On the contrary, she has a
larger stock of gold than any
other country of Europe or
America; she has 1878, 100000
more than England has.
And Indla-gold not being a
legal tender, or used commonly
as money-of course the peo-
pie there care nothing for gold9
Far from that; a commission
in 1866 reported that the desire
for the coinage Of gold was uni
versal in India. The net i'm
ports of gold into India since
the metal was demonetized in
1885 have been S75O,OOO,O0O,
