bullion. The difference Is maintained
by the law of legal tender and receiVa-
bility in the revenues. In these re-
Hpects the government of Mexico
cannot act freely and fully because of
the contract to pay gold on her foreign
debt.
The condition Is stated by Justice
Walter Clarke, who recently travelled
in Mexico. Judge Clarke says:
"While the Mexican leaders were
wise enough and patriotic enough to
save their country from the tortures
and depression of the gold standard
and falling prices which we have had
to endure, many years ago, when they
funded their foreign debt $3.50, 600. .OOO),
gold and silver were at par; and not
anticipating any attempt to demonetize
the latter In order to double the value
of the former, they unwisely consented
that the interest on this foreign debt
ss a matter of ConVenience-should be
payable In London, and In gold. They
dill not know there was any inconVen-
lence In It then, but they have found It
out now, as, Like our debtors and tax.
payers, they are paying double what
should be justly paid. 1t is just like
contracting for 10000 bushels Of wheat
and then doubling the size of the
bushel. ."--[See the Arena for June,
bottom page $751;
(In 1892, the production of silver In
Mexico was $50,28l,3 ,3l1. The coinage
was 1928, 1872 ,72l. The uncoined surplus
and large part of the coin was ex-
ported as on.-United States Coin

Now, In spite of the bad conditions
in Mexico, the country is prosperous.
The wages of labor are gradually rtS-
ing, the people are employed, the price
of farm products are reasonably good,
manufactures are rapidly increasing,
the purchasing power of money has re-
mained steady, there is an lmm snse
premium on all their exports, and their
only drawback is the cost Of exchange
in making foreign gold payments.
If the gOld-bug papers will but state
all the facts, they are welcome to all
the comfort they can get from the
"object lesson" Of the Mexican dollar.
They never mention the case of Japan.
There they have no gold debts, and the
people have all the blessings Of plen-
tiful money with none of its draw
backs. That fortunate little empire is
forging to the front rapidly, and fast
driving English manufactures from
the markets Of the world. And it is

ing "silVer craze" even in Pennsyl-
Vanis, New York and Massachusetts,.

When there is not enough money

The reason for this is that they can

earn the less they can spend.
Every such unnecessary dimlnution

that there iS not enough money and

The interest of producers requires
that there shall be an abundance Of

must be opportunities to borrow-but
1t should need no argument to show

MEXICAN DOLLARS.
BY JOHN DAVIS.

LUG Cl1ppluBS lEOM BOAA-DuB POPOAN
which you sent me were duly received.
It Is strange how unfair and false the
sin Of aVsrice can make men. 1t has
been said that, should an aVsriciOus
man conceive it to his interest to deny
the existence Of the law Of grSVitation,
he would promptly do so, and then ne
would industriously rsnsaCk the uni
verse for evidence to prove his position.
The clippings you sent me misrepre-
sent the facts respecting the coinage Of
silver In Mexico In order to prove that
the ''free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer in the United States" would result
In giving us hslf-price silver dollar.
What are the facts as to silver coin
age In MexicoP In the first place,
Mexico does not practice free and un-
limited coinage. She does not even
coin sll of her own product, but large
portion of her exports Of silver are
thrown into the markets of the world
as bullion. The price of that bullion
fixes the price of silver In Mexico, in
clndlng the coins, which are but par
TALLY legal tender. It Is a cardinal
doctrine of the silver men that, so long
as any portion Of the silver supply re-
mains uncoined and must be sold as
bullion, the price Of that bullion thus
sold fxes the price Of the bullion in the
coins. Mexico coins but little over
half her annual silver product.
In the midst Of a condition like that,
the bullion in the Mexican dollar must
necessarily sink to the value of un-
coined bullion. That Is the inevitable
logic of the situation, and it is the doc
trine taught by the silver men Of Eu.
rope and America during the past
twenty years.
To preserve the coinage value Of sill
yer above It's bullion value, there must
be a stable and responsible government,
with large commerce and vigorous
laws Of legal tender well enforced, as
is the case In the United States, Eng.
land, France, Germany, and several
other countries. In all these essential
qualities Mexico is lacking,
In the first place, as already stated,
Mexico coins but little over half Of
her annual product Of silver.
In the second place, being compelled
to provide gold to meet the interest on
her foreign debt, she must collect
large portion of her revenues In gold.
That Is a discrimination against re-
ceiVing silver in the revenues of the
home country; and then, as gold pay.
ments are required on a part of the
public debt, that is a limit to the legal
tender quality Of silver coin. Hence
we find the Mexican silver money
somewhat In the same condition of our
greenback during the wsr-good for all
purposes "except duties on imports
and interest on the public debt" The
greenbaek fell to half price, and, fol-
lowing the same laws, is it strange that
Mexican dollars should be worth less
than full legal tender money!
The same was the case with our
trade dollar of 1885. So long as it re-
tanned the quality of legal tender, 1t
was at par with gold; when the legal
tender quality was repealed, the great
The advocate., 1896-09-02

compels,
Because of the large proportion Of
the business of the world which, under
our present system, has to be done on
credit, many producers are obliged to
borrow money from banks, at certain
seasons, to use in their buslness; and
often, when prices fall, or the demand
for their product is light, they cannot
meet their obligations without making
ruinous sacrifices
Unfortunately, 1t is also frequently
the case that the oery causes t0hicb en-
bGrraSS them, make 1t unsafe for banks
to lend 1Chat they need--Or eUeHl to re-
ne,O their notes. Indeed, in number
less cases, the fall In prices or dimin-
ished sales acre Themselves caused by
bank contraction - which was IN.
known until It's parslyzing effects were
felt. That is, contracting bank credit
so derangeS trade that business men
have to ask for more credit just at the
time when banks are compelled to
contract credits and their failure to
get what they need causes a with
drswal Of money from tie banks, In
some cases, which, Of course, Compels
them to contract their credits still fur.
ther. Thus matters 60 from bad to
worse, for q shorter or longer period,
during which many are ruined and
several times as many more are Grip
pied.
When everyone Is employed, at good
wages, all have money to spend, and,
therefore, consumption increases and
producers prosper.
Whatever reduces the aggregate
ability to buy what they want neces.
ssrily dlminishes the sales, or profits
of producers to the same extent.
Every consumer who purchases on
time increases the dependence Of those
of whom he buys on the banks; and
everyone who pays as he goes dimin-
ishes such dependence.
In many VocstlOns expenses can be
reduced when business becomes un-
profitable, but producers can seldom
save themselves in that way-and they
are, therefore, much the heaviest losers
by monetary contraction.
In the last twenty years, falling mar
kets have bsnkrupted thousands Of
producers who would have become In.
dependent If they could have had
tenor even 6Ve-yesrs of real pros.
perity; but, 40 matters have been, their
efforts to save themselves by economic
ing, though often unsuccessful, have
pinched others and thus accelerated
the general downward tendency.
Even before silver was dem0netized,
the country had never had ten consec-
utiVe years Of prosperity, AID l can
call to mind only two periods which
lasted five years. The first Of these
preceded the panic Of 1857-snd re.
suited from the unparalleled flow Of
gold from California; while the second,
which preceded the panic of 1873, was
due to the increased quantity Of paper
money issued during the Civil war, and
the output of the newly discovered sill
yer mines. Since then, depression has
been the rule-with just enough short
lived improvement to prevent the peo-
