Prices and Wages in Mexico.

(From the New York Worldly
Ex-Governor st. John in his
speech Monday night, Aug. 17,when
asked if commodities in Mexico did
not cost twice as much as the same
articles in the United States, en-
phatically denied such to be the case
and declared Mexico to be one of the
most prosperous nations on the face
of the earth. Mr.. st. John makes
that assertion in the face of the fig
ures in the following table, compiled
from bona fide advertisements in
the newspapers of each country.
Let us see what ground he has for
denying that the prices of commodi-
ties in Mexico are almost twice as
much as in the United States and
that wages are from two to five
times less than wages in the United
States:

(trom the New York WORLDLY
Simplicity and common sense
were the sources of power in Mr.
Bourke Coclran's speech of Tues
day night, Aug. IS. It owed no
thing of its effectiveness to rhetoric
and not much to labored logic Mr.
Cochran simply stated truths so OBJ
vious as to need no demonstration
and illustrated them in a homely
fashion which impressed them
strongly upon the least instructed
minds.
There was hardly a point made
which ought not to have occurred to
every ordinary intelligence, and not
one which was not perfectly appar-
ent when the orator had done with
it.
The silverites propose to " raise
prices " by reducing the value and
purchasing power of the dollar. Mr..
Cochran asks working men, wages
earners, salaried clerks, teachers
and the like the homely question,
"Where do you come in ?" in a pro-
gramme of this charater.
If all prices are raised in equal
proportion-those of labor as we'll
as those of commodities-nob is
benefited because nobody's status
is changed. But if the prices of
commodities is raised while tile
wages of labor remain stationary, or
nearly so, the wage Garner of every
class is robbed to enrich the farmer
and the manufacturer.
The Government cannot create
wealth. No act of Government can
increase by one penny's worth the
aggregate of property in existence.
If, therefore, any act of Govern
ment enriches any man it mist do
so by robbing some other man.
When free coinage is proposed as a
means of raising the price of COM
modities it is proposed to tSke from
the wage -earners of the country a
certain part of their earnings and
give it to another class. That is the
simple, obvious fact, and Mr.. Cock
ran makes a powerful appeal when
he asks the wage and salary earn
ing people of New York what they
think of the proposal.
This is the marrow of the whole
matter. The proposal of free and
unlimited coinage at 16 to 1, with
out the concurrence of other ma
tions, is a proposal to rob every
wage-earner, every salaried person,
every pensioner, every savings bank
depositor or other small investor, of
one. half his income, and to give the
proceeds of the robbery to a favored
class in return for votes.
This is an assertion, but it is sim
ply, obvious truth
There are the added elements of
national dishonor and certain finan-
cial collapse, with all the prostra
ting consequences of panic, but the
simple fact that free coinage must
rob all the wage -earners in the coun-
try to enable the farmers to cheat
their mortgage creditors ought to be
enough to condemn the cause to ut
ter and irretrievable defeat.

Mexico has had free coinage of
silver for many years, while the
United States has had gold stan
dard. Mexico's bonds sell for 26
cents on the dollar in gold, the bonds
of the United States for 113. If
Mexico is as prosperous as Mr. st.
John says, why is it her bonds are
worth less than one fourth as much
as those of the United States ? Why
is it that wages are so low and the
price of all the necessaries of life so
high Do working men think, in
the light of this table, that it would
be a good thing for the United
States to be put on free silver ba
