CHARLES HEBEa CLARKE, one OF the
ablest advocates of free silver coinage in
the United States, is for Mckinley. He
says that if the Urited States were to un-
dertake, b. independent action, to open
her 1nints to The free coinage of the world s
silver it would be ce. ,ain to prove dis
astrous failure and would give the bi,net-
alic movein cnt a setback from which it
would never recover.

| O.-Mexico has been silver standar'
corntry for four centuries. What IS IL
present monetary condition. At L
on a silver specie basis. Ten banks issue
notes-s2S, ,427,ooo in all. The specie
| silver. reserve to pay them is 3o,5ooo
coo. There is SIS, 900 in silver dol
lars in circulation, and the country ha'
about sss.c- 900 Of money in use, count
ing in gold and subsidiary silver. The
population is II, Io 2, ,ooo-s4.5o per capita
There are no Government notes.
O-What has become of the S3,32I,
oc9oco coined by its eleven minis? A
II has been exported as fast as 1t wa:
coined, as bullion, to pay for imports, Al
its commercial price as bullion.
O.-What is a Mexican dollar equal tc
in our silver coinage? A.-fI.o94. Il
contains 4o6.39 grains OF fine silver; ours
37I.25.
A.@Exactly sS cents when silver is worth
68 cents ner ounce, as bullion; and o.
cents for legal tender-fve cents being
the cost of coinage. It huctuates from
day to day as bar silver fuctates Ii
London. ,,, :.
O.-Then Mexican silver dollar Is
worth no more i'll Mexico than 1t is any
where else in the world-its market price
as bullion. A.-Yes, FIVE cents-the cost
of coinage. It has no other fat value III
Mexico.
O.-Then its practical free and un'
limited coinage" adds nothing to its va
luep A.-Only the legal tender fiat value
in Mexico of FIVE cents over the bullion
value. If free coined this would dlsap-
annear. and it would only be worth IN
Mexico its weight III silver.
O.-What is the cost o. living In the
CITY of Mexico. About ope-torrth
more than in New York city in Mexican
money. Hotel rates are are IS per day
Cabs cost 81 so per hour. Street car
arcs are 6I cents. Rents are higher
than in New York city; board IS dearer;
restaurant meals cost more.
O.-What Is the cost OF food! A
Fiour, 5H cents; sugar, I9 cents; peer,
6K cents; pork, 81 cents; coffee, "a
cents: tea (cheapest) 81; cheese, IS cents.
All staples imported cost gold prices lii
az d.ion to duties.
O.-How much of this Mexican silver
money can a man earn? A.-The street
car companies pay conductors, drivers
and collectors from so cents to 81 per
day. The highest wages paid black
smiths is $2 so; bookbinders, 81; carpen'
tiers, 81 so; eng inc drivers, 81 so; harness
makers, hatters, locksmiths, silversmiths'
plumbers and turner's, 81; machinists,
III rs; bricklayers, stonecutter0, house,
painters, eI IS. Many work tor haii
these rates.
O.-Then the cost of living is much
higher and wages of craftsmen much
lower than with US? A.-Decidedly. "A
craftsman in Mexico receives practically
one-half American wages, aud his living
in the same way as here costs much more.
O.-How is it with laborerS A
They get fromf37H to so cents per day
in this Mexican silver money.
O.-And how do they livee AT
less expense than farm horse In New
England, I" and not so well, John Bigelow
once remarked. "The labozing classes, "
says Mexican newspaper, regard them
selves as a plant, which moves by ex-
trancous aids only, and has no power OF
volition, and no desire to exercise it II 1t

The recent sharp rise in wheat and
other cereals in sympathy Herewith has
caused a marked increase in the demand
for land in Southern California adapted
to general agriculture. The primary
reason for this demand is that grain
crops will pay we'll the coming season,
at least, as the present prices are likely
to be sustained owing to the serious
shortage in other grain producing coun-
tries and the reduction of last seasons
surplus to a minimum. Farming lands
in Southern California have been in a
great measure neglected for the more
fascinating Though In many instances
less prof1table) fruit lands, hence the
prices of land Of every description in the
extreme southern counties have reach
ed higher figures than the ordinary
farmer can pay.
1t behooves. therefore, the farmer or
fruit grower of moderate means and
with a growing family. to investigate
the opportunities afforded in San Luis
Obispo county and the northern part of
Santa Barbara county for securing the
foundation for farm or orchard at one
quarter the cost in the southern coun-
ties of California. When fertile land,
much of 1t covered with oak timber, and
all adapted to the growth of general
farm products, fruits. nuts and veget-
ables, can be purchased on easy terms
for from $40 to $50 per acre. according to
distance from railroad and ocean trans
portation and moist" land at that, re-
curing absolutely no irrigation, this
section must inevitably with the COM
pletion of the overland coast railroad

OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLONY
In San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa
Barbara Counties
Of new settlers within the next year or

of new settlers within the next year or
two.
The recent subdivision Of many large
ranches in the above counties and
placing of the lands on the market-will
doubtless attract a great number Of
eastern as we'll as Southern California
farmers to this section. Fortunately
there are over one million acres of I'M
developed land in these two counties,
hence there Is room for all who may
come for the next few years.
THE COLONY SYSTEM
AS already stated San Luis Obispo
county and the northern part of Santa
Barbara county have vast areas of I'M
improved land. but unsurpassed any,
where In fertility and probably the best
(naturally) watered land in California.
No irrigation is therefore needed as the
immense and diversified crops of farm
ing products and fruits Of these counties
attest. The problem that now puzzles
the large land owners is how can they
accomplish speedily and yet judiciously
the settlement of these extensive areas
of fertile, well watered land that are
now unoccupied except as grazing lands
for cattle, sheep and hogs. A former
well-known resident of Los Angeles,
now engaged in large land enterprises
in San Luis Obispo county, has assidu-
the past year and now believes that
there is only one practical method of
achieving this 'devoutly to be wished
contamination" and that is by inaugu-
rating colony" enterprises. But sue
cessful colony enterprises require ex-
perienced. energetic and reliable mama
gers. and great difference of opinion
exists regarding the best system of in
augurating and conducting projects of
that character.
1t is worthy of note that Anaheim, the
parent colony of Southern California.
was founded by an association of per-
sons in moderate circumstances and 1t
was eminently successful from the start.
Indeed. its phenomenal success has been
such an ."object lesson" to other COM
munities in Southern California, where
large tracts of undeveloped land exist
ed. that many other successful colonies
were patterned from the Anaheim plan.
The present is unquestionably an aus
picious time to inaugurate similar COL
ony enterprises in San Luis Obispo coun-
ty and northern Santa Barbara county
for many reasons, and among them the
following:
Lands eminently we'll adapted to diver
sified farming and fruit growing can
now be obtained here In large holdings
of from 1000 to 5000 acres, for $40 to SIS
per acre, from actual owners, on easy
terms of part cash and a moderate rate
of interest on annual payments of the
balance. The sun never shone on more
fertile nor better watered lands, which
absolutely require no irrigation, thus
saving the farmer or fruit grower of
moderate means an important item of
expense. The great cost of irrigating
in addition to the high prices of land in
the southern counties of California pre-
vents the further successful prosecution
of large colony enterprises in that Sec
ton. The eastern or foreign farmer,
dairyman or fruit grower DESTROYS of
obtaining from 40 to 100 acres of land in
Southern California at a moderate price
