EDITOR ADvoCATE:-When John
Sherman spoke lately at Hslens,
Mont, says the Independent Of that
place, he made several references to
the injustice Of bullion owners reCelv.
Ing q 100 cent dollar In exchange for
80 cents worth Of silver bullion. Later
on in his address he waxed pathetic
over the gross injustice Of cutting the
pensioners pIttance In two By paying
him In 50.cent silver dollars, at which
point Q gentleman In the audience
arose and said: "Mr. Sherman, will
you please answer question: ? / am
both a penBloner and on q small scale
q producer Of silver bullion; now when
the government has given me l00-Cent
silver dollars for my bullion and has
paid my pension In 50.cent silver dol.
lars, how am l to tell these dollars
apart 30 Rs to pay out each at It's

Mr.. Sherman's only reply was to say:

questions.

the American dollar 10 good for o dol.

convenience to American tourists In
Mexico, the United States nearest

rudely dlspelled. / have seen many

The Mexican people import q great
deal of corn from the United States
and this year the importstlons have
been extremely heavy. The Mexican
silver dollar will buy as much Ulited

tools with which to manipulate the
food which. taking into consideration
the difference Of climate, was far in
feriOP to the lot Of the Mexican labOrer,
even as Mr.. Cobb has painted It. And
the writer has personal knowledge,
which the editor Of the Republic evil
IDENTIFY has not, that there are hundreds
of thousands Of American lsborerS In
the same condition to-day, In the same
region.
It seems that people In comparing
the conditions Of the two countries
perSlstently refuse to see the differ
enCe In, first, the two races, and Sec
ond, their environments as to climate.
The people Of Mexico are nine-tenthS
Indian, pure bloOds, and the other
tenth Spanish and mixed blood. There
ls no other people comparable to the
ADglO-Saxon race. No one but an ig-
noramus would compare Mexico with
the United States. IL comparison
must be made compare Mexico today
with Mexico twenty years ago, and
then there viii be a fair comparison.
For since then has the appreciation In
the value Of gold stimulated the free
silver countries. Because the Indian
lsborer does not yet reach the high
standard of the AnglO-Ssxon, 1t does
not follow that he cannot eventually
do 80. And It is O fact that uGder the
stimulus Of free silver, and the use Of
gold 90 q commodity, the Indian laborer
Is getting there" with strides such as
no primitive people ever made before.
It is hardly necessary to reply to the
imputstion that the Mexican people
cannot buy the products of their fac
tories, or to Mr.. Cobbs' ridiculous
story. If these are facts, where do the
Mexican factories get the money to
declare dividends such ga would make
an American manufacturer think the

To THE EDITOR:-It seems l have
gained some small measure Of unsOught
publicity through q letter written to
my sister which she deemed advisable
to have published In your paper. 1t
also appears that the publicity has
been somewhat increased through q
criticism of said letter published In the
Republic (some kind friend has sent
me a copy. I therefore ask room in
your columns to add another word,
for the purpose of correcting q lot Of
misinformation which the editor Of
the Republic seems to have absorbed,
and for the further purpose of correct
ing the false position in which the
criticism places the writer Of the first
letter, and it's recipient.
To begin with, allow me to say that
the letter in question was written to
and for my sister and In reply to in
Quiries from her, and to- that extent
was written to order. The writer did
not crave the little place in the public
eye which its publication has brought
about.
It is In no sense true that the pros
perity of Mexico is similar to that of
Kansas when the "loan agent" flour,
lshed so rsnkly In the SunAower State.
There is no point of similarity between
the two conditions. The foreign cap
itsl that Is being invested In Mexico is
invested In business enterprises, ard is
being looked after by the investors and
their trusted agents. In no other way
con 1t bring them returns. There Is
no place here for the coupon clipper.
There is d splendid field for the en-.
ployment of capital in active business
enterprises, but the investor must man
age his own business. Mexico's boom
is an industrial one and he who keeps
up with the procession, be he capital.
ist or psuper, must get up and hustle.
1t is not true that Mexico had free
silver before she had q protective
tariff. In fact Mexico never had and
has not now a protective tariff. She
has very high tariff for revenue
which affords incidental protection to
native industries. This she has had
from the days of Cortez and the vice
regal rule, and she has had free coin
age of silver since the days of the re-
public only.
In the same article In which the crit.
lcism Of the writer's letter appears is Q
quotation from another letter from
Mexico, which has evidently been
written to order, or the writer's glasses
were defective in color, or he may have
been fresh from the north and was not
