Evils of Mexico's Free Coinage.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Upton, Ind, April 26.-John G. Lutz, of
Goldsmith, this county, has just returned
from an extensive tour of two months in
old Mexico. and in conversation to-day on
the subject of silver, he said that after he
had crossed the borders into Mexico he ex-
Changed his American silver dollars for $2.0l
in Mexican coin, and on his return he was
compelled to give up $2.01 of his Mexican
coin for one dollar of American silver. The
coinage of Mexican silver is substantially
free and unlimited. He is thoroughly CON-
WINGED by his experience in Mexico that the
free coinage of silver in the United States
would prove disastrous to the producer and
laborer, and a practical impossibility to
keep it on a parity with the rich mans
dollar. There are. eleven mints in Mexico
and they are being run to their fullest ca
pacity. yet the purchasing power of a silver
dollar is not near SO great as the American
silver dollar or their own gold dollar.
