90 ONE people are continually talking
81 about the prosperity OF Mexico
which they insist is due TO the
financial policy OF the free coinage OF
siIver,- said c. d Stuart of New York; who
stopped at the Raleigh yesterday on his
return from the Southern republic.
Whatever prosperity may exist IN Mex
leo is but an outflow from the United
states. But all the prosperity That now
contrasts that country with what 1t was be-
fore American capital, American railroads
and Yankee thrift entered It's borders Is
not TO be compared with the prosperity ol
half a score OF gold countries right
at the present time.
They have not a, particle OF geld IN
Mexico aud no more silver money than we
have in the United States. The wages OF
labor are less aud the price of commodities
is higher there. The silver standard has
become firmly established there and the
country is at the height OF its sperity
1t caunot be come more Erosperous and may
become much less. When free silver men
cite Mexico as an argument they are reaiiy
strengthening the argument OF the gold
standard people"

The Princess, nervously clasping her

had thought dead is risen again, and
now ambition, glory, the throne itself,
are all forgotten; she loves him, and
her from him.
