the petition was not In favor Of the

that they did not have enough signers
to their petition to Ole the same for

for the truth OF the statements made
Although 1 fully agree with you that
it is probably not to the interest of this
country to have free coinage of silver
at q ratio of 16 to 1 adopted by the
United States, at the same time, ss the
orators and writers of our sister repub-
lie are constantly referring to this
country az miserable Mexico" and
making statements as to our industries
and the condition of our lsboring
classes which are likely to produce er'
roneous impressions, particularly
among Americans not acquainted with
the actual conditions existing here,
and so, to q certain extent, retsrd i'm
migration to this republic and prevent
the investment of foreign capital in
Mexico. l believe it advisable to make
q statement as to the actual conditions
which prevail among us. y
Our banks are paying from IA to II
per cent. dividends. Our cotton and
wooden mills, tobacco factories and
Touring mills are paying from 10 to 30
per cent. Corporations who make a
declaration of their profits are known
to be making money, while priVste
concerns are In prosperous condition.
Our prosperity is on q solid basis and
increasing with constantly accelerated
strides. There ls nothing of boom In
it. It is the result Of natural causes
followed by their natural and ineVita-
BILE result.
The condition Of our lsbOring classes
il often pointed to for the purpose Of
drawing unfsvorsble comparisons with
the condition Of labor In other nations.
It might be we'll to say here that
Egypt, Brazil, Austria, Russia and
Italy are now on q gold basis, and it
would be difficult to find any point of
comparison with them which would
not be to the advantage Of our labor
ing classes.

HANNA'S MONEY.

ment In Kansas. AS no direct proof,
other than strongly suspicious circum
stances, has been submitted, the AD.
vOCATE has given little CountenanCe
to these charges. 1t appeared rather
peculiar that q few hsndfuls of men,
without financial resources, could pro.
cure q headquarters banner more elab.
crate than any ever displayed In Topeka
for the middle-Of-the.road hesdquar.
ters. 1t was a peculiar circumstance
that this banner should be anchored TO
the building owned and occupied by
the leading State bank of the city,
which bank iS largely owned by the
owner of the gold.bug Capital. It did
not appear exactly right that pure and
undefiled reformers should have such
q standing with railroad corporations
Rs to enable them to secure almost I'M.
limited free transportation. It was q
little out Of the ordinary to see Repub.
llCsn newspapers doing everything In
their power to encourage and assist
those who pretended to be lSboFlng for
the maintenance of the reform party.
These and other circumstances are
such as to lead the voters to have little
confidence In the pretenSe Of loyalty to
party.
But 1t now appears that In the clrcu.
lstIon Of petitions cash Is being used
as an encouragement. The Kansas
City Times charges that Mr.. Morrill's
Labor Commissioner, w. G. Bird, the
fellow who held up John Speer for
part Of his salary. was engaged during
the last days of September In pushing
the circulation OF middle.Of the.rosd
petitions, and offering compensation
amounting to $3.50 per day In one
case at least to men who would take a
petition and secure seventy Ave sigma
lures. AS evidence Of the truth Of
these charges the Times submits the
following affidavit:
estate OF KANSAS, =.

"D. G. Wood, of lawful age, being

that he was In Topeka, Kss., on the

An important fact to be taken into
consideration in estimating the remu'
nerstion received by our Indian pOpu-
lation, who are the heWers Of wood and
drawers of water In this country, Is
that a large proportion of the farming
is done on shares, and that IN many
cases Indians, in addition to wages
paid them for labor performed directly
for the hacienda, az we'll SO their share
of the crops raised, are given small
piece of land rent free for their own
use. Speaking generally, the entire
corn crop of the republic, which is the
most important crop, Is raised on shares
by the Indians. They are furnished
with the land, seed and work animals
and receive one-hslf the crop. In the
case of certain crops this arrangement
is not applied, such as wheat and pro-
ductiohs which require little care and
which can be harvested by machinery
without the use of much labor; this
class of labor being included under the
head Of skilled labor.
Clerks, bookkeeperS and employees
holding confidential positions With the
larger mercantile concerns often re.
ceive in addition to their salary their
board and lodging, and, In many cases,
a percentage Of the profits. This per-
centsge plan Is also frequently the
practice In the smaller stores. The
larger concerns operate boarding
houses, which are pstronized by their
employees. The salaries paid over and
above these expenses range from $40
to 800 per month.
In order that comparison may be
intelligently made between the labor
of Mexico and that Of other countries,
the living expenses Of the lsboring
class may he sscertsined by a knOWl'
edge of the prices given below, which
are approximately correct.
Wheat is worth 81 per $50 pounds,
or S185 cents per bushel. Cotton is
18 cents per pound, wool from $6 TO 81
an srrobs of twenty FIVE pounds Tor 25
to S5 cents per pOund). Hay ia not
used. In It's stead we utilize green
fodder mixed with wheat and barley
straw. Corn is 81 80 per 100 pounds.
The normal price Of corn is about l
cent per pound, but, owing to dTOughtS
in various parts Of the country, the
present price Is unusually high.
White sugar is IL cents per pound;
native brown sugar, cents; butter, IS
cents per pound; eggs, 26 cents per
dozen; bacon, imported, about go cents
per pound; native, 30 cents; beefsteak,
IS cents per pound.
Beef cattle from about $50 to $S5 per
head. Beef cattle are not sold by the
pound. Hogs, the price is regulated
by the Kansas City price.
Horses-Fine carriage horses are
worth per pair about 81, 900, or $500 to
81, 300; common horses, about $3.50 per
pair; common mules, from $40 to $50
per head.
