MEXICO CONSTITUTION.


Washington, D. c., June 81
Recent advices from Mexico
state that the Mexican Con
gress, following the suggestion
of President Diaz in his last an
nual message, has been con
sidering important changes in
the Federal Constitution, with
a view to making it somewhat
similar to that of the United
States in the limitation Of the
rights of the separate States to
coin money, to hinder commerce
by tariff laws which discrim-
mate against goods brought
from adjoining States into Mex
leo. Heretofore the Federal
government had not the eXclus-
i've right to colleGk tariff or in
ternal revenue. As n result
both the Federal government
and the States have their separ-
ate laws on the subject. Jeal-
oUsies between States have led
some of them to enact tariff
laws discriminating against
neighboring States.
President Diaz spoke strong
by for a reform and compre-
hensive revisions of the Const-
tuition have been presented
accordingly. The first articles.
of the Constitution are change
$50 as 10 include a prohibition
against tle fre5 coinage of
money or the issuance of paTer
bills or stamps by any State.
TaliT Determinations betw en-
HE States are prohibited by
several strong provisions. Ar
ticle 124 OF the Constitution as
changed so as to give the Fe
deral government the exclusive
right to hinder or prohibit the
transportation ofgoods, Foreign
or domestic. brought into Mex
leo or into State. By a sup
Elemental section the law s
made to take effect one year
from July 1 next. Whether
the law einbodying the changes
has passed its final stage is not
clear f!om t e information re-
c4ived here, although the le-
; gislation appears t. be com
ple:e.

STAMP DEPARTMENT.
The Money Making Branch of
the United States Postal
Service.

A Washington special says:
One of the most interesting
branches of the postoffice de-
partment here is the stamp
division. 1t is that wing ofthe
postal service which is the
money maker, though the units
of measurement are but cents,
There is material enough with
in its walls to fill a book,
while the records, Of the Office
might, in the absence Of other
data, furnish sufficient proof to
write a history of this country
in showing its wonderful
strides in commercial growth
The earliest record of the Unit
ed States dates back to 1S47
1t is an ordinary sized book
and fairly well preserved, des-
pite frequent handling. 1t is
interesting from the standpoint
of both trade and postal affairs
to note the remarkable increase
ihat has taken place in the use
of the mails since that period
of the dim past The causes,
Of course, are many. At that
time the country was not SO
large as it is today, by many
millions, nor was postage as
cheap. The lowest postal de-
nomination then was a Scent
stamp, while today Il 2-cent
stamp will not only at light.
ming speed put your letter tc
any point in this country, but
will carry it as well anywhere
in the united postal kingdom
Looking over the record, The
fact was revealed that during
the administration of Postmas
ter A. G. Penn the New Orleans
/ postofice ordered for use there
during the July quarter $45C
worth ofpostage stamps. Thi:
included July, August an(
September. During the sam,
period in 1894, the same ole
town, where trade is said to bt
going to the demnition bow
vows, sent orders for postage
stamps for letter use only
aggregating S1O5,251.
One hundred dollars repre-
scented the sum total Of Chica
go's expenses for postag,
stamps during the July quartz
of 1847, while 100000 would
hardly foot the bill in 1894 TO
the same period.
From the modest sum o
$4,000 spent by New York il
July, August and September
1647, the amount of its postag
in 1894 for that quarter ha'
reached the princely sum o
81, 100000.

THE CABINET COMPLETE AGAIN.

Richard ]. Olney is now Secretary
of State. The appointment is a good
one. Our contemporaries who speak of
the Secretary as Premier. make a
great mistake. There is no premier
in this country as there is in England.
The prime minister there is called by
the Crown to form a cabinet of which
he stands at the head In the United
States the President is the real prime
minister, and the Secretary of State is
one of his cabinet The difference is
obvious
Ohio comes to the front once more
as breeding ground for office-holders
Judson Harmon, the new Attorney
General, is said to be a fine lawyer
and very capable man. Cleveland has
once more surprised the politicians
who want to be cabinet-makers and
showed that he has a mind of his own.
In that quality he commands the ad-
miration of conservative men of all
parties.
The administration machinery is all
complete again, and once more it is
shown how small a place in the econ
omy of this world is occupied by the
great of our race, and how soon it can
be filled when the little vacancy occurs
through their departure.

THE HARRISON BOOM.

As a sequel to the harmony din
ner given by Depew and the subse-
quent endorsement of Harrison's can
didacy by Elkins and Depew. the ex-
President and present aspirant is an
nounced as on a visit to PHILADELPHIA.
where he is the guest of John Wan
namaker. Putting this and that to-
gether, the result is suggestive. ''Har-
mony'' having been secured between
prominent Republicans who were a
little off the next thing in order is
TO get a string on the "sinews of war"
Harmony is essential to success, but
what is harmony without cash?
But will the great peddler of no
tions and general merchandise come
down with the dust again? The
Postmaster Generalship paid him for
his former contribution of near half q
million. IS it possible that his ambi-
ton scars toward other preferments ?
Or rather can he be worked for furth-
er donations in aid of Uncle Ben
Jamin? If Wannamaker can be Sc.
cured as the third person in the Re-
publican trinity, Depew and Elkins
being the other two. the harmony"
will be made complete with a golden
chord
The Harrison boom is on, and the
din thereof will soon be heard through
out the land. But the Democratic
silver sound will be the music for the
masses and the silver candidate viii
carry the day. The Democratic party
must make no mistake. It will have
to be genuine silver against a strad-
die.

| ing better than before and they will
go into long dissertations to show that
those industries originated under pro-
/ lection. Prove to them that instead of
European goods flooding this country,
as they predicted, American manufac-
turers are underselling Europeans in
! their own markets, and they will en-
deavor to belittle the number of those
! exports and the magnitude of the
! sales. Quote the figures to prove that
wages have increased in trades affect
ing scores of thousands of workmen
since the new tariff went into opera
ton, instead of being cut down one
half as was foretold by high tariffites,
and they will try to make it appear
that this is simply owing to a greater
temporary demand for the goods manu-
| featured, and to divert attention from
the nub of the argument by assertions
about the impossibility of establishing
those industries in the first place with
out a high protective tariff
1t is of no use. That is not the point
1t is this: For twenty years at least,
the party of protection increased the
rates of duty or articles that had been
manufactured for years in this coun-
try, under the plea that this was neces-
sary in order to prevent the competi-
ton of Europe and its cheap labor.
As the Infant industries" grew older
and stronger, higher and higher pro-
lection was demanded for them and
by them. When it was proposed to re-
duce those duties, our Republican con-
tempOraries declared it would be the
ruin of those industries. That the re-
suit would be the closing of the fac
tories, the reduction of wages, the
influx of cheap goods until the country
was flooded with them, and though
they would be reduced in price there
would be no dollar to buy them with.
This was repeated from New York to
San francisco, and from the far north
to the extreme south.
What are the facts? Why, that these
industries that were to be ruined"
are alive and in good health. That our
imports are less than under full Nc
creasing. That wages are advancing.
That new ventures are made in ex-
ports, and American goods are under
selling English goods in the markets
of Great Britain. And that if we can
get the silver question settled right |
the manufacturing interests will take
care of themselves and all the other
industries of the country will flourish,
and there can be still further reduc-
lions in tariff rates after a while in
stead of a return to former tariff con-
ditions.
The question is not under what con-
ditions certain industries were started, /
it is why are those industries flourish /
ing under the reduced tariff which was /
to herald their ruin? And why are
the improvements in all branches of /
trade and manufacture, and even in |
some classes of agricultural products, |
taking place so palpably, under the |
operations of a law that was to have |
sounded their death knen and plunged /
the country into the vortex of bank
ruptcy and irretrievable destruction?
We get no answer to these questions,
but instead, only evasions and asser-
tons which, even if true, have no
bearing upon the subject.

REPUBLICAN BIMETALIIsM.

some remarks of the Chicago Inter-
| Ocean in reference to the national con-
vention of the Republican League. to
! be held this month at Cleveland.
Ohio, are quite significant. They are
these:
There will be Republicans there
from the west who believe in free sill
yer, those from the east who may
think single gold standard advis-
able, and the majority holding fast to
the Republican doctrine of bimetall-
ism. 1t will be good for them to come
together and exchange views on this
question, even though it will be a
year before a Republican national
platform can be framed, and they
should exchange views as men of one
political party seeking the best light
upon a great question to be settled en-
tirely within the party.
The majority will hold fast to "the
Republican doctrine of bimetallism."
That might seem satisfactory to many
silver men, if it were not put in con-
trast with gold monometallism and
free silver coinage equally 1t shows
that the Republican doctrine of bimet-
allism is opposed to both.
The Republican doctrine of bimetal-
lism is that enunciated by the Repub-
lican party in 1892. It means gold as
the monetary standard, with the use
of silver in a subsidiary sense. Also
an arrangement by which silver may
be utilized to a larger extent than at
present, as may be determined by the
European powers and the consent of
the United States.
1t is true that the Democratic doc
trine of bimetallism enunciated in the
platform of 1892, though more en-
phatic as to silver, includes the inter-
national arrangement idea, which acts
as a string to the free silver coinage
declaration in the front end of the
plank. 1t was supposed by the straight
silver men to mean the free coinage
of silver, after the repeal of the mis-
cradle Republican makeshift-the sill
yer purchase law. But the modifica-
ton at the other end of the plank has
proven to be an illustration of the say
ing about 1.-The tail wagging the dog
and silver Democrats want that tail
cut off
There is the difference in the atti-
tude of the two parties. The majority
of the Republicans, (as the Inter
Ocean declares will be the sentiment
of the majority at the League conven-
tion0 are for holding fast to the Re-
publican doctrine of bimetallism;;" to
wit, the doctrine of 1892. The major
ity of the Democrats, on the contrary,
are repudiating the waiting policy of
international agreement, and declar-
ing for the free coinage of both gold
and silver at the present ratio, imme-
diately and irrespective of what
other nations may do or declare they
will do.
Yes, it will be good FOR representa-
tives of the respective parties to
"come together and exchange views
on this question: The sooner it can
be understood where they stand the
better. There should be no more vac
illation, hesitation or hedging. Let the
country know where TO look for
gold recommendation, where |
for bogus bimetallism, that is, Euro
pean financial dictation, and where
for true and honest bimetallism-the
restoration of the money of the United
States as it was coined before the leg
islation of 1873.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-06-08

was not the demonstration OF silver a
revolutionary measure? Did it not, by
increasing the value or purchasing
power of gold, deliberately propose a
wholesale confiscation of large per-
centage of the property of others by
increasing the difficulty of meeting all
indebtedness, by depreciating the
value of the produce of the factory
and the farm, as well as the value of
the factory and the farm themselves,
and of all other kinds of property,
and was not a great wrong committed
by confiscating from the industrial
millions, the borrowers and the poor,
SO large percentage of that which
belonged to them, and correspondence
increasing the store Of the capitalists
and the usurers?
Again, Mr.. Bonhurt compares the
present current market price of silver
with its value 1t ratio of 16 to l,
and assumes that in the event of re-
turn to free coinage the difference
would be loss which should be
borne by the American people. Is it
not the fact that even the prospective
demand likely to arise from a failure
of the wheat crop in the United States.
Russia, France, England or India, i'm
mediately runs up prices in all other
parts of the world. and can it be for
a moment assumed that a free coinage
demand in France and the other coun-
tries Of the Latin Union and the United
States, or even the United States alone.
would not at once bring the values
of the silver and gold dollars to-
gether?
Finally, if a great wrong has been
committed against the interests of the
toiling masses by the characterization of
silver. and the consequent wholesale
confiscation of a large percentage of
their property. is it not a plain duty
of the nation to right that wrong, no
matter what may be the cost?
/ write this not in a spirit of con-
troversy. but simply as a seeker for
Information. Yours truly.

In view Of the fact that the bright,
metallic tin plate argument is again
on duty for the Republicans we re-
produce the following from the Chi
cago Dispatch:
Governor Mckinley still talks about
american tim as if he imagines it
is live issue. Tin-type statesmen
will not have the call next year
We are therefore confronted with
the condition that whereas the effete
east can see that the silver issue is
the only issue for 1896, the leading Re
publican paper of this territory gives
precedence to tin plate.

THEY CANNOT ANSWER.

We notice that our Republican con-
temporaries, here and elsewhere, per-
silently elude the point presented, in
the argument that Republican por-
tents of ruin from tariff reduction
have been pounded to death, by the
force of the facts developed since the
passage of the Wilson bill. They dodge
it in every possible way.
Show them that the industries which
they said would go to everlasting
smash under tariff reform are flourish

The Chicago Tribune tries to make it
appear that Colorado Republicans prefer
party to silver. The Herald does not
doubt but this is the case with a few

are sadly mistaken. The Tribune will find
cut when the national convention meets
