THE WEST AND SILVER.
Henry Stoddard Sounds Warming to Eas
ern Republicans.


ern Republicans.
Henry L. Stoddard, writing to the New
York Mail and Express from Denver
says:
The sooner that eastern republicans
realize that gold declaration at ST.
Louis means to imperil many of the eigh-
ty-three electoral votes west of the Mis-
slssippi, the earlier they will reach a
clear understanding of the actual situa-
ton and the struggle before them, par
tieularly should there be a democratic
populist free silver combination. There
Is no use ignoring the facts. The tariff
undoubtedly is the issue in the east, but
cross the Mississippi, and as you travel
westward over prairie and mountain it
Is not the tariff question that you hear
discussed by the people, but money. The
demand outside the silver states Is not
so much for the 16 to l standard as for
some expression of a purpose to find a
way for the continued use of silver as a
money metal The free coinage senti-
ment has been voiced so entirely in the
east by politicians of the Tillman and
Stewart type and has been made SO con-
sp1cuous feature of the populist plat
form that 1t is somewhat novel to walk
into banking house after banking house
IN this city and be told that that institu-
tlon favored the Is to l demand"
Mr.. Stoddard says that he has fingered
with groups of Woodworking farmers at
way stations, has talked with them in
the ordinary day coaches of trains speed
Ing over Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska
and Is convinced that whichever party
Is the friend of silver will get the votes.

GUATEMALA.

The republic of Guatemala will hold an
international exposition at the city of
Guatemala, beginning in December next.
It's object principally is to make dis
play of Central American productions
and to that end all the republics of Gen.
trail America are expected to contribute
1t is impossible to overestimate the i'm
portance of this exposition in It's rela-
tons to the growing commerce between
these republics and the gulf ports of this
country. The importation of fruits from
the ports of Honduras. Guatemala, Mica
ragua and Colombia through the city of
Mobile has become g. very important
business, not only to Mobile, but to all
the inland cities to which the tropical
products are distributed.
Guatemala is one of the most enlight-
ened and progressive of our sister repub-
lies. 1t has two ports on the eastern
coast, Livingston, which occupies an ad-
nirable position upon bluff at the
mouth of the River Dulce a river which is
navigable for a great distance into the
interior, and Port Barrios, which is the
eastern terminus of a railroad which is
now being built to the city of Guatemala
That city has a population of 10000
and has railroad Connection with the Pa
cific. When 1t is connected by rail with
Barrios there will be trans-continental
railway connecting the Pacific with the
gulf. 1t will open up the interior of Qua
temala to the trade of our southern
cities. This road must compete with the
Panama route for much Of the traffic
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-05-09

which now goes to the isthmus, the route
being several days shorter to points be-
tween Panama and San Francisco.
The City of Guatemala is one of the
most beautiful upon this continent. The
people are refined and intelligent and
there is much wealth and enterprise. The
coffee plantations, which are the source
of their wealth, are mostly upon the Pa
cific slope of the mountains, but when
this road is completed we will find the
plantations extending all along the
route.
1t Is upon the eastern coast, where hui
Nudity prevails, that we find the banana
plantations. They skirt the water cours-
IS, because of convenience for transport
tation, but with proper railroad facili-
ties we will find these plantations ex-
tending into the interior. This railroad
will not only encourage and increase our
importations of fruits, but it will open
the forests of valuable hard woods which
ire in such demand for the richer kinds
of furniture.
OF course the growth of imports will
be followed by a growth of exports from
this country. Already our Mobile mer-
chants have felt the advantage derived
from the daily steamers that ply be-
tween that city and the Central Ameri-
can ports. A very considerable trade
has grown up and it is constantly in
creasing. -
IL this country Is represented at the
Forthcoming exposition it Is very possible
that we may reap good and immediate
results in the way of reciprocal trade.
The boards of trade of our gulf cities
Mobile. New Orleans and Galveston
should at once take action looking to rep
resentation at the Guatemala exposition.
The United States should be represented
there. 1t is not too late for congress to
take action
