and Fidelity to the POpullst Cause.
The candidacy of Senator J. w. Iced
Of Coffey county for Governor is beinI
urged with a considerable degree o
earnestness and persistency. The Senate
has many warm influential friends owe

elected Governor of the State. 1t i
especially gratifying to see the Senator
friends making their fight without abus
ing other candidates and their friends
The following from the Yates Cente
Advocate will give the reader an op
portunity to judge as to how his candi
dacy is regarded in the vicinity OF hi
home. The AdUOcGte says;
"The time draws near when the dis
cussion of the fitness and availability o
gubernatorial candidate for the Popu
list party will be in order The AdgO
cate thus far has refrained from urginl
the candidacy Of any particular one o
the hundred or more loyal, brsiny, broad
gauged men Of the Peoples party Ofthil
State who would bring to the guberna
torial chair that honesty, that broad
comprehensive craftsmanship, that
loyalty to the interests Of the people, Rnc
that sense Of State pride, which has been
so conspicuously absent during the whole
Of the present administration, and which
Kansas SO badly needs at present. The
AdOOcGte is not the organ of any man,
but the exponent Of Populism as we
understand the meaning and interpreta-
tiOn OF the Omaha platform. 1t urges
party harmony and party success, rather
than the individual aggrandizement or
political ambitions OF any one man or
faction. We believe that the coming
ticket should be made up of men who
will dispel to the grestest degree the
jealousies and embittsred feelings which
usually follow the conventions OF any
party; men who are able to meet the
opposition in the forum OF debate, or in
planning the fight and mapping out a
successful campaign; men whose personal
and political character are above re-
proach, and whose names are a synonym
Of honesty, ability and Populism. Among
the many Of our party who come up TO
the full and complete measure Of ourideal
candidate, Woodson county will name
Senator John w. Leedy Of Coffey county,
and will follow him to honorable defeat
or glorious victory. His plain, blunt
way Of dealing with men and measures,
his rugged honesty and infexibility
would be to the average Kansan as bread
to the starving when given in place Of
Morrilrs duplicity and double dealing,
and Morrills pusillsnimity in politics, and
weak, vacillsting policy. Senator Leedy's
freedom from mixing in factionsl dis
turbances, and his ever willingness to
champion the cause Of his party, his
clean, manly and able fight on the floor
Of the Senate for the interest Of the
whole people for a reasonable control by
the State Of the corporations, his in
vino ible leadership as demonstrated in
his four years Senatorial service, make

MEXICO'S MONEY.
A Statement of Economic Conditions in a
Bimetallic Country.

Bimetallie Country
A great many people are interested in
the working of the bimetallic standard
in Mexico. Some time ago Congressman
Newlands of Nevada addressed letter
to Alexander r. Shepherd requesting
his views ON the economic conditions of
Mexico. Mr., Shepherd was for many
years prominent politician, and later
successful Washington business man.
OF late years he has spent great deal
Of time in Mexico and is we'll acquainted
with the situation in that country. His
reply was as follows and indicates that
that country is more prosperous than
the United Statesis. He says:
''In response to your request to give
you view Of the economic conditions OF
Mexico, as have found them, while its
financial policy has rested on a silver
basis, beg leave to say that it will give
me great pleasure to comply with it.
81 have been resident Of Mexico since
1880. When I first went there the ratio
between silver and gold was 151s to /.
The first exchange / bought was at the
rate OF Is per cent. in coin silver on a
New York draft Since then, owing to
the demonetization Of silver, many
pbonpao boua r,oo,,wpo1 ~ kbo voAo ~ ~,
change. During the famine, which
existed the whole period from 1889 to
l893,. when tWo-thirds of all the grain
used for food in Mexico was bought from
the United States, the ratio Of exchange
ranged from 60 to 95 per cent, and at
times went as high as 100.
Notwithstanding this Mexico met all
her obligations, paid all her interest, and
suffered less than any other country.
The present condition of the silver market
is leading the Mexican people to do their
own manufacturing.
GAS an instance. of this may cite
Chihuahua as an example. An iron
foundry and machine shop was estab-
lished there some time ago with 100000
capital, for the purpose of manufacturing
the mining and other machinery for
which there was a large and growing de-
mand in that vicinity, and which was
formerly supplied by the United States.
The success of this venture may be
realized when it is known that the CAPT.
tai stock was increased to 100000, and
that the company secured contract re-
Gently for large amount Of machinery
in competition with the firm of Frazier &
Chalmers and other large concerns in
this country. Cheap clothing, all Of
which was formerly purchased in the
United States and Europe, is now manu-
factured in Mexico. At Chihuahua
canning establishment, with capital Of
$L5O0,OO0, ia now being organized for the
purpose of preserving meat and fruits,
and a large brewery, with capital Of
100000, is being put in operation. A
woolen factory, with 100000 capital, was
started and was enlarged last season to
meet the increased demands upon it.
Smelters at Chihuahua now treat the
Mexican ores that were formerly sent
The advocate., 1896-05-20
Topeka, KANSAS, MAY 20, 1896.


Numerous other enterprises have been
established and are in contemplation, all
having the effect Of giving remuneratiVe
employment to Mexican artisans and
laborers and, what is equally as i'm
pOrtant, serving to keep Mexican money
in Mexico, for the fruit Of all these forms
of industry represents the life necessities
for which Mexico has hitherto been de-
pendent on this country ana Europe.
1.-THE conditions in Chihuahua are
truer Of the moro advanced portions Of
Mexico, and the development is steady
and remarkable throughout In the
northwest part of Mexico railroad will
be built within the next year, running
from Ell Paso to a point south of Corral
itas, a distance of $50 miles, opening up
a country rich in mines and agricultural
resources. The s5,0OOOOO capital for the
undertaking has been subscribed by New
York parties.
"The conditions Of the people have
improved correlatively with the develop
ment of the country. The district of
Fl Fuerte, which furnishes the part of
the mountains in which mines are To-
Gated, has doubled in population in the
past fifteen years and it's productive
capacity correspondingly increased.
Formerly tFe peon system of labor, which
pervaded all Mexico, was the rule in
III Fuerte. Now the scarcity Of work
men is 80 great that almost everything
is produced on shares, and it is almost
impossible to raise a crop unless the
WOrkmen are interested in it.
"Another instance may be recited
showing the wondeful progress of north
west Mexico. When the Mexican
Central railroad was first opened it was
thought that the northern part of it
would be unremuneratiVe. The opening
of mines and the development Of agri-
culture along this portion, however, has
made it one of the most profitable Sec
tions Of the world.
shortly before my departure | was
converting with a very intelligent Mexi-
can banker. He declared that he wanted
the difference between silver and gold
to be maintained, as it enabled the Mex
leans to keep their money in their own
country. Other Mexican financiers with
whom have talked hold the same
views. There have been but two or
three bank failures in Mexico since |
have resided there. The Mexican banks
are required to keep one-third Of their
in silver dollars in their
vaults. The system in Mexico allows
the miner to send his silver to the gov
ernment deposltories and receive silver
dollars in return for it in any part OF the
country where there is an assay Office,
the government tax and cost being about
AZ per cent.
perhaps the best sign Of the stability
Of Mexico under silver policy may be
found in the fact that Mexican 5 per
cent. bonds stand at SO in London.

tions in Mexico, and regret that my

Senator Lodge thus forcibly contrasts
the difference between the situation
four years ago under republican rule.
with that ofthe present time under the
rule Of comparative free trade dem
ocracy: -Four years ago we met as we
meet now, representatives Of a great
Republican party. Prosperity was in
the land. Capital was confident and
labor employed. There was the good
days wage for the good days work, and
the spirit of American enterprise was
stirring and bold. The Treasury was
full, the public revenues ample for the
public needs. We were at peace with
all the world, and had placed prudent
hand on the key of the Pacific. Four
short years have come and gone. Look
at the country now. The Treasury is
empty. Our credit is impaired. Our
revenues are deficient. We meet the
public needs not with income, but by
borrowing at high rates and pledging
the future for the wants Of the present.
Business is paralyzed. Confidence is
gone. Enterprise las folded its eagle
wings and mopes and blinks in the mar
ket place. Our mills are idds and our
railroads crippled. Capital hides itself,
and labor idly walks the streets. There
is neither a good days wage nor a good
days work"

leading democratic paper of the state
pays the following hendsome tribute to
Major Mckinley, One thing may bs

republican nominee for president is a
man of high honor, straightforwardness
and honest integrity in public and pri.
yate life. Throughout his public career,
Major Mckinley has won the highest
respect Of men Of all ranks. Whether
one endorses his views or not, everyone
must rejoioe in his stainless character
in his openheartedness, in his family de-
votion and in his public spirit. 1t is
fortunate so far as the republican candi-
date is concerned no personalities can be
advanced by his opponents, that no
charge can be brought against his inte-
gritty, and no hostile comment upon his
life. Now let the other parties do as
we'll and the camprign will be one en-
tirely ofissues.
