How about the white common Ia
bor?" asked voice.
There is none," admitted Mr.. Haw-,
thorne, at which there was "a cheer
from the Ayme side of the house. Mr..
Hawthorne ret0rted by saying that
neither WAS there any in 'Goid-bug
Georgia, Alabama, or Florida" and the
bleaehers howled on the other side of
the diamond.
At this point the two factions came
into contact with yells, catcalls, cheers
for Mckinley and cheers for Bryan.
The mob broke all ground rules, ana
the umpire was compelled TO cal time.
Capt. Castle, who had opened the game,
had gone out, leaving DR.. A. j. Stone
in charge, and the latter had hard
time getting the thing started again.
He used some very CauStic words to
the 0.stur5erS.
Continuing Mr. Hawthorne men
t;oned ether of his Investigations. He
claimed that Mexican wages increased
200 per cent between 1873 and 1896. He
declared that there was a demand for
WOrlEmen. and that there were no ldlerS.
The speaker closed his inning with
burst of pyrotechnics for Bryan.
Then Mr.. Ayme came to bat with
long easy swing and look Of irony on
his face. He retorted to the charge of
being a Rip Van Wrinkle, and said he
was iE Mexico eight years and thirty
days. He was there when Mexico had
had a silver basis for 3T6 years from
a century before the landing of the
MaytlCWer. He had lived with the
Mexican people in all walks of life. He
charged his opponent with going to
Mexico with a specific purpose, that
of finding out all the good things he
could for political and personal rea-
sons. The people of Mexico, knowing
his errand, had filled him full of fairy
tales in order that he could come back
and send more capital down there. 1t
was easy to see why he came back
with such stories about the wonderful
prosperity of Mexico.
AIr. Ayme thought that his opponent
had begged the subject. He had dis
cussed England, Portugal, Italy, China,
Japan, and d dozen other countries
which were not germane to Mexico.
Mr.. Hawthorne speaks from the
basic proposition that white labor must
be compared with white labor Then
the whole proposition vanishes, for
there are over 100000 people in Mex
leo, and it is an eXtravagant estimate
to say that l per cent is white labor
The speaker said he smiled when his
opponent mentioned the Austrian con-
sui Illustration and his comparison
with Mexico and Minnejota. He
showed the wonderful increase in the
wealth of Minnesota as compared with
that of Mexico, and said the North
Star state was worth half as much as
10 hN1n ,f1~xrn IF
''Who owns it?" asked a silverite.
You do. we do,'' quickly replied the
speaker. There are 43 900 Of you who
have over $4,000 in savings banks, and
an institution of that kind is unknown
in Mexico"
my opponent mentioned all the
countries on the globe, told how much
railroad superintendents were getting
in Mexico, said that Mark Hanna was
a ScOundrel and then sat down, but he
did not tell of the condition of the real
Mexican people, and that is the subject
of this discussion He has told about
the foreigners in Mexico, but what
about the natives? They live in mud
houses; they can neither read nor
write. Their women grind their corn
in the same fashion that they have for
nearly 400 years. Cornbread forms
the food of 80 per cent of the people,
and | say that which Mexico has been
uOlHS 1Oi 90 years mas not stopped IN
order to furnish Mr.. Hawthorne with
prosperity arguments. What I learned
there L learned through years of inves-
tigation. 1 did not get my facts in
forty-nine days for this campaign"
The speaker answered the arguments
of his opponent in detail. He showed
that only 800 Of the $500 miles of rail-
road was owned by MeXicans. He did
not wonder that land values increased
near railroads, but said that five miles
back in the country values had not
risen, and land was valued according
to the number of persons living on it.
Taken to the Hospital.
George E. Kittson aged sixty years was
arrested Wednesday night by Patrolman
Rafter. Kittson found lying on the side
walk in condition which the officers called
dead drunk" Yesterday morning when the
prisoners at the central station were ranged
up to go to court Kittson was unable 10 walk
