WASHINGTON, Aug. l2.-In Secretary Car

Minister Ransom at the city Of Mexico contain
ing a copy Of the Mexican Herald. in which was
published an article calling attention to an al
legged counterfeiting of American money. The
article sets forth that two young Americans
in one OF the Central American States, presuma-
bly, Guatemala, have been for some time pur-
chasing native silver dollars at the curren:
price of about so cents each and coming them
into American dollars to be put upon the mar
ket. 1t is intimAted that the extent of the fraud
mas already reached the sum Of So. SOC, 900. but
the details OF the affair set forth In the
newspaper quite meagre. Minister Raneom
evidently has no Information on the subject
himself. for he sends none TO the Treasury De-
partment, and in the absence Of Secretary Car

Secret Service Bureau. Nothing whatever Is
known about the matter there. The chief of

That the majority of these votes

country are be subjected to a test of
their intelligence, and we are confident
that they will stand the test. T
appeals made to them by Mr. Bryl
and his followers have been based
solely on passion and prejudice.
There has been no foundation what
ever in fact, as there has been in the
case of the farmer. They are asked
to lower the value of the dollar, with
out the faintest indication being
given them OF how cut-value dollar
will benefit them. They asked to
favor it because all the employers OF
labor are against it. But it is per-
fectly evident that the only possible
interest employers can have in oppos-
ing cheap dollar in which to pay
wages is that the destruction of conf
dence would produce business paraly
sis. Does the nottingham want to,
produce business paralysis simply for
The sake of hurting his employers?
We do not believe American working
men have reached such a depth either
Of stupidity or of bad feeling If
there is anything in the world upon
which the interests OF wage-earners
are at one with those of the great
business men Of the country, it is in
the preservation of an honest system
OF currencN.
