There was considerable moving here
abouts on Wednesday.
The destructive fire here emphasizes the
necessity of every village having some
means of fire protection, and in the
absence of water to have a hook and
ladder truck. The loss occasioned by one
fire would pay the bill.
The spring School of Methods of the
Salem County w. G. T. U. will be held in

be present during the day, and will
address the evening meeting. A large
attendance is anticipated, and the ladies
of the home Union are preparing to
receive and entertain the visitors.
Our community was startled by the cry
of fire on Tuesday night, and Immediately
people were running in the direction of
the lower part of the village, where the
flames were rapidly doing their work of
destruction. 1t proved to be the store of
Lewis M. johnson. The fire broke out
between 8 and 10 O'Clock, and started in
the rear of the building, where the oils
and other goods we're kept. Some of the
goods were saved, but the fire made such
rapid Roadway, that bat little could be
done in this direction, aud our means of
fighting fire being limited to buckets, it
required the combined efforts of all to
prevent the flames from spreading to the
adjoining buildings. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but suspicious have been
aroused that it was the work of an incen-
diary, as Mr. johnson has recently re
ceived several threatening letters, but he
has no idea who his enemy can be. The
total loss is estimated at $40, 900 with
an insurance of $4,000 on the stock and
fixtures, divided as follows: Farmers
Mutual, Salem, $4,000; the Continental,
Philadelphia, $2700. The building was
insured in the Fire Association, Phila-
delphia, for $1,000. There is also an
insurance on the building held by the
Cumberland Mutual. The work of re-
building will begin a ne.

Financial Catechism.

What has caused the divergence be-
tween the coin and bullion value of sill
YER?
The decentralization Of silver in 1878
by this country and some cf the nations
of Europe. Silver being now denied free
coinage, its bullion price represents the
demand there is for silver in the arts.
Why was silver dcmonctized?
1t was demonetized because of the de-
sire to limit the supply of money, make
money dearer. thus increase its purchas-
ing power, and therefore to the advan
tage Of money dealers, bond holders, cred
itor classes and those having fixed in
comes.
Was not the characterization of silver
In 1878 due to over production as com
pared with gold?
1t was not due to the over production
Of silver, because for many years prior
70 1878 the worlds production of gold
had been about three times as great as
that of silver, and in 1878 silver bullion
IN the United States was at a premium OF
per cent over gold. "
How does the worlds production OF
gold aud silver for the last 1O3 years
compare with each other?
Between the years 1899 and 1895 the
worlds production of gold exceeded that
of silver about 500 million dollars.
What is the ratio of the two metals as
they exist by weight in the world today
available for money!?
1t is about Is 2-3 to 1, which means
that there are only about sixteen times
as many tons Of silver in the world a.
valuable for money as there are tons Of
gold
What, therefore, is the natural ratio
between silver and gold2

1 ty and the cost Of exchange. Our. cot.
ton and woolen mills already in opera.
ton were obliged to- enlarge their capac
ity and new ones were established. The
number of operatives necessarily had tc
be greatly increased.
To show the falling off in the con.
sumption of foreign merchandise, it may
be said that the year prior to the increase
of foreign exchange Oh silver our Gus
toms collections at the ports of entry a
mounted to $4,000, 600. The next yeal
they were $t4,O0O,000. In the fsca
year ending in 1890 our importations ex
ceeded $50, 2,0oO,OOO. In the fiscal veal
ending in 1895 they were slightly in ex.
cess of 34,o00,OOO: On the other hanc
our expectations increased. In 1S9O-91
they amounted to $63,0OO,OOO and il
1S94-95 to $90,OO0,OOO. There was
nothing Ill the nature of commercial
panic consequent upon the sharp advance
in silver exchange.
Our merchants are very conservative
and careful, and bank and business fail
ures are happily rare in Mexico unde,
any circumstances. AS to wages anC
the condition of laboringmen, consider
ing the nature of work and classes o1
industry, they compare favorably with
those in other countries.
The demand for skilled labor ha:
grown with the great increase in tl,t
number Of mills and manufactures. The
demand IN all branches of labor is strong
The added exchange has not impaired
the values of our dollar as applied te
the purchase of articles of home manu-
facture. It's buying power is unchanged
in this respect, and prices for domestic
merchandise and produce VARY only &C
cording to the supply and demand.
Heavy investments of foreign capita
in Mexican enterprises have been made
since the appreciation of gold elsewhere
There is another point in view. The
foreign debt of the country is payable il
gold. The duties on imported merchan
disc are collected in silver, or on thai
basis. The high rates of exchange, to
getber with the decrease in our custom
collections before alluded to, have cause<
considerable shrinkage in this source
of revenue.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MEXICO
President Dlaz Tells the Facts About His
Own Country.

The following'is letter to the New

tive to Mexico's financial affairs:
do not care to discuss the effect of
the silver coinage on the ,l,aterial inter-
ests cf Mexico with view 10 influencing
the result Of the coming election in the
United States. Such a course on nv part
would be wholly improper, considering
the friendly and peaceful relations exist
ing between the United States and Mex
ico. The present political issue in the
former country is the question Of the
money standard, and I do not wish to be
regarded as in any way attempting to af
feet the outcome.
can give the facts relative to exist
ing Industries and the establishment of
new ones in Mexico under our financial
system, and each may draw his own con-
ciuslons as to the causes which have pro
duced such awakening in commercial
and industrial affairs. Ocular demon.
strations of the vast development may
be found by visiting the cotton and
WOolen mills in our various cities. Some
are old, others recently opened. Our
paper mills and their output also furnish
evidence of our material prosperity. Un-
til comparatively recent period all the
pulp used in the manufacture Of paper
in this country was imported, and the
paper only was made in Mexico; now the
pulp and everything that enters in the
composition of paper is made here. The
departments of the government will fur
nish the exact data and statistics show
ing the growth Of domestic manufactures
and commerce.
While our material interests have IN
creased steadily and healthfully for the
last twenty years, since the close Of the
Indian mints and the repeal of the Sher-
man law, so-called, in the United States.
