The Shreveport Progress is very
skeptical about the statement we
made that an American silver dol
lar was worth two Mexican silver
dollars in the city of Mexico, and
discourseth thusly:
Would you mind giving the author of
the statement you make here? and will
you have the kindness to explain or have
your valuable informant to do % for you.
why. II the Mexican silver dollar contains
more than the American, the latter ID at q
premium 10 the country Of the formerp
The incident we alluded to ap-
peared less than six months ago in
the North American Review. a
magazine of the highest standing,
and it has been since reproduced
IN the columns of many of the most
reputable of American newspapers,
none of which have had the temer-
ity to question its authenticity.
The explanation is apparent; silver
monometalism prevails in Mexico
and q silver dollar circulates at its
actual intrinsic value. An Ameri-
can silver dollar contains less sill
yer than a Mexican dollar, but ow-
ing to the fact that an American
silver dollar can be readily ex-
changed for treasury note and
this in turn for a gold dollar, the
parity is thereby preserved and an
American silver dollar will buv "a
much as a gold dollar because it
can be exchanged at pleasure for q
gold dollar. It is the credit of the
American government which en-
ables a silver dollar to purchase a
hundred cents worth of goods, and
which makes it, though intrinsi-
cally inferior, buy more goods in a
Mexican market than a Mexican
dollar will.-Baton Rouge Advo-
cate.

Circuit Court Of Appeals.

Judges w. F. Blackman and E.
T. Lewis, of the Third Circuit
Court of Appeals, held a term for
Grant parish, on Wednesday, May
8, 1895, and passed upon the Pol
lock suit, resisting the payment of
taxes, which they reverse and send
back for rehearing. The appeal
was taken up on an exception, and
it ID the exception that has been
passed upon, the merits of the case
not being up for consideration.
As this is very important case to
Grant parish, we give the entire
text of the decision:
j. w. Pollock W. H. G. Goodwin, ct
ais, on motion for rehearing-The plain
till moves for rehearing, and urges that
the court erred in affirming the judy
ment OF the lower court, in dismiasing his
suit. A denomination of the authorities
has convinced US that we were In error, in
deciding as did the trial Judge, that the
time for bringing this suit had prescrip-
ted under the law. A critical examin.
alton OF the statute and reason, and su-
thorltiee which we have examined, CON
yinces rs that the law meant that the suit
should be commenced prior to the LIST
day OF November, 1892, and that the suit
was instituted as the law provides, al
though the citation had not been served
until after that date. The judgment of
the lower court was therefore erroneous
in sustaining said exception, and dismiss
ing said suit, and should be reversed.
Plaintiff and appellant prays that the
Judgment appealed from be reversed and
the case remanded for trial on its
merits, and we think it should be done.
For these reasons it is ordered, adiudged
and decreed, that our former decree be
set aside and annulled, and the judgment
OF the lower court be reversed and set
aside, and this case be remanded to the
lower court to be tried on its merits in
with law.
Appellees to pay cost of appeal.
