COMPARISON.

Mexico is now building new
lines Of railroad and extending
her foreign commerce. She is
building new manufacturing
establishments and charging
old ones. There are no strikes
or Iock-outs in Mexico.
Although it would be an
eas%matter for the people of
Mexico to emigrate to the
United States, if they thought
that by doing SO they could
benefit their condition, yet they
refuse to do so. Our most
miserable pauper labor comes
from gold standard countries.
There is more misery, want
and actual suffering among the
masses in the United States
than there is in Mexico.
Mexico may not be exactly a
model Utopia in ever respect,
but she will stand comparison
with the United States. The
goldbugs have made a mistake

A MARKET FOR SILVER

Among the various opinions
as to what silver will be worth
an ounce, in gold, if Bryan is
elected, the most interesting is
that of K. H. Kleinschmidt of
Helena, Montana. He IS
worth many millions of dollars
and his money backs his opin-
ions. He offers to buy silver
at SI.Io an ounce, to be paid
for in United States gold coin
when w. ]. Bryan as president
of the United States has sign
ed a free coinage bill. He Of
fers to give security on a con-
tract for $4,000 and to ar
range for taking $4,000, 900
worth on the same terms if the
other side desires. The details
of this interesting offer were
given in our news columns last
week, the matter coming too
late for comment.
Mr.. Kleinschmidt is a terri
bic fellow, who by this action
has driven the New York
World to silence. 1t first found
out that he is rich enough to
put up the twenty millions him
self.
What does he do this for?
Perhaps to make or lose five
or ten cents on the dollar in
backing his opinion. But no
matter what his motive, the
offer is open to the world-for
those who can give proper bus
mess security in making the
contract. Who calls MIR. Klein
schmidt? Till his offers are
taken the market value Of sill
yer bullion as a future, condi-
doned on the adoption of free
coinage by the United States,
is SI.Io an ounce, price pay
able in gold coin. Who has
silver for future delivery on
these conditions?-Monter
