THE REPUBLIC OF MEXICO Free Silver Country Not
 Prosperous. Result of the Investigation of
 T. P. Carson.
Anybody Who Views the Situation In That Country VIII Return an
 Enemy of Free Silver.

1T. P. Carson, the mining man, who has just come back from an extensive trip through Mexico, has returned to Phoenix a firm believer in sound money.
 He was asked by a Republican rep resentative yesterday if he found Mex ico in prospering condition.
 'No I cannot say that I have" he answered. There is considerable mining, but only the high grade sfl- yer and gold mines are being worked. There are many inquiries for good gold properties, but not very much devel- opment work is being done"
 "How is the political situation in the United States viewed by that re public?" queried the reporter.
 'Well,'' he answered, ''they take a great deal of interest in the coming election and nearly everybody is in hopes that Bryan will win. As Mexico is a free silver republic they labor un- der the false impression that the free coinage of silver in the United States will be of benefit to Mexico, but I fail to see where they will be benefited"
 He was asked if the same conditions would exist in the United States that now prevail in Mexico if Bryan should be elected
 ''Well, it wouldn't be quite as bad as it is in Mexico, for there is practically no prosperity at all in that republic Laborers work for 371a cents per day in Mexican money and pay for every thing on the basis of American money and prices. There is nothing sold un- der American prices, except cigars and other home products. No country can be prosperous with depreciated cur rency, as the state of affairs in Mexico will show.
 ''I made it a point to thoroughly ex- amine the money question of that country for my own qualification and curiosity. I went into several stores to price articles and the answer would invariably be "so much in American money or so much in Mexican money. ' For instance, I wanted to buy suit of clothes, the merchant would say $50 American money, or $60 in Mex ican money.
 1hOoS oclluO SOluIUlO1lS3 WOulU vail in America, only not SO bad, ii we should get free coinage of silver.
 NI lhave as much interest in silver as anybody in the territory, but nobody can make me believe the country car be prosperous laborer is the sui ferer-in the event of the free coinage of silver.
 T have no hesitancy in saying tha there is no safety for us short of al international agreement to fix a ratit on gold and silver and maintain it.
 No man would like to see silver a S1 an ounce more than myself, fo then l could start the Reymert mine But let any man go to Mexico and i he does not come back to this countr with the idea that free silver is ruin ous, then I miss my guess"

Statesmanlike Horse.

The successful horse-dealer is never at loss. Witness the following incident from an exchange: 4 young English man was negotiating with a dealer for horse. The horseman eXpatiated on the many good points of the animal under discussion.
 Tt seems to me, MT. Muggns," re- marked the young man, "that the horse has rather a big head"
 The retort came at once: Big 'ead, big 'ead, do you call it? Why, look at Gladstone; what a 'ead 'e's got!'

Snowballs Rolled by the Wind.

Passengers on the Flint River divi- sion of the Flint & Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint. Mich, recently reported observing a strange phenom- enon in large, level fields not far from the city, says the Chicago Tribune.

The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take a large force of boys several days to do.

KANAWHA.

The action of the Kanawha County
Republican Executive Committee, in
refusing to permit the name of J. w.
Goshorn to go on the ticket at the
coming primary for County Clerk, is
to say the least bad politics"
The personal quarrel which exists
between Mr. Goshorn and other as
pirants for the same Office, should
have no influence with the Commit
tee. Mr.. Goshorn is an American
citizen, has declared himself a Re
publican, took a part in the last
campaign, was in consultation with
the Republican leaders, and certainly
has a right to be voted for at a pri-
mary. Then and there the people
will express their opinion as to the
ACCESSIBILITY whether or not to place
him on the ticket.
We are not defending Mr.. Goshorn,
but we are unfolding a principle dear
to every American citizen. The days
of Acknowledgement are past, and the
penalty for such action may be a Sc
we're one Tor the party. By all means
reverse your action, gentlemen, and
place Mr.. Goshorn's name on the
ticket.

WILLIAM MCKINLEY
Not an A. p. A., but Has Always Been
Methodist.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April I5.-The
following statement is given out by
James B. Morrow, editor of the Cleve-
land Leader, newspaper which per
haps more nearly represents Mr.. Nc
Kinley than does any other paper in
the United States:
Persons who pretend tolbe conspic-
uous members of the American Pro-
tective Association has given circula-
ton to the statement that Hon. Will
liam Mckinley is member of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians; that Mr..
NJ. A. Hanna, who is Mr.. McKinleys
personal and political friend is Ro-
man Catholic; that Mr. Boyle, Mr. Nc
Kinley's private secretary, is also
member of the Catholic Church, and,
finally, that while Mr.. Mckinley was
Governor of Ohio his appointments
were largely made from the member
ship of certain religious denomina
ton. It is urged, therefore, that Mr..
Mckinley is not the right kind of an
American.
This statement is untrue in part and
in whole, Mr.. McKinley's American
ism reaches back to the war for indie
pendence. William Mckinley him
self was private in the Union Army
while yet boy, and carried musket
for four years. He is member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
has been a member of that denomina-
ton nearly all his life. His ancestors
and his family for two centuries have
been Observation-Disclosures and
Presbyterians, At this time Mr. Nc
Kinley is one of the trustees of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church of
Canton, Ohio.
Moreover, Mr.. Mckinley is not
member of the Ancient Order of Hi
! bernians nor of the American Protec-
tive Association. However, he is a
Free Mason, and has been for many
years; he is a Knight Templar, a
Knight of Pythias, comrade of the
Grand Army of the Republic. mem
Der of the Union Veteran Union, of the
Sons of the American Revolution, OF
the Loyal Legion, and of a college fra
ternity. And these are the only Sc
cret societies with which Mr. McKin-
ley has any connection whatever.
The charge that his appointments
to Office while he was Governor of
Ohio was largely made from the Rom
an Catholic Church or any other
church is ridiculous apd untrue
He believes that all men should be
permitted to worship God in the man
ner thatsquares with their conscience.
lam authorized to say that Mai. Nc
Kinley knows nothing whatever about
the application of a committee from
any organization to visit him at Can
ton. He has never refused to meet
any person or committee of any kind,
nor declined to have any committee
interview him upon any subject what
ever.
1t should also be stated that both
Mr.. NJ. A. Hanna and Mr.. Boyle, who
is private secretary TO Maj. Mckinley,
are lifelong members of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church. / make this
statement in behalf of truth, that ev-
