MEXICO AND IN VEST
.MkNTS.
Houston Post.

One Of the notable money
movement Of the day is the con-
tinued flow Of capital, not only
from Europe but also from the
United States, into Mexico for
investment and improvement
purposes. There appears to be
no trouble to the south Of MS
in obtaining outside financial
aid.
The Topeka State Journal,
up in Kansas, contained the in
formation the other day that
"another big crowd of Topeka
people are about to invest their
capital in Mexico" Then the
State Journal makes this signi
ficant comment:
It is funny that tens of mil
lions of American money is
rushing to Mexico when Mex
is on a silver basis, is 1t not2
Very many of these identical
investors tell us that if we
want foreign capital invested
in the United States, in Kansas,
in Topeka, we must stay on a
gold basis. Mexico on a silver
basis with her much ridiculed
dollars is getting all the capital
there is to invest, and Kansas
doesn't get q smell.
1t does look "funny."
In security of investment the
American States present a far
more attractive field; in promise
of good profits the field is fully
as attractive; the resources and
opportunities here are greater
than in Mexico, and yet it is
undeniable that money is pass
ing. through the Western Unit
} ed States with never a thought
OF stopping, and looking ur
enterprises in Mexico. The fact
demonstrates that capital, after
all, even Eastern American
capital, is not afraid of a silver
basis country and a foreign
and far inferior country besides
| to the United States.
The fact was partially ex
planned awhile since by Min
lister Romero at Washington
Mexico is enjoying a high de
gree of development and pro
sperity just no& because thu
, heavy rates of exchange art
forcing the Mexicans to become
more self-supporting and man
ufacture their own necessary
finished products. This grea
exchange, III consequence O
the depreciation Of Mexican
money, operates as a high pro
tective tariff stimulating manu-
features. On the other hand
the raw products are sold il
foreign countries Tor gold ant
, thus the Mexican producer get
the benefit. The result is in
creased activity in production
and stimulated home enter
prises, until the entire eountr,
, is enjoying period of rapi'
expansion and pronounce
prosperity.

Good for Vermilion.

Mr.. J.. P. Gueydan returned Tues
day evening from a visit to New
Orleans, where he had shipped a
quantity of sugar cane taken from
Mr.. Fenton thousands place west
of Bayou Vermilion in Vermilion
parish to have it tested. The yield
of sugar was sixty pounds greater to
the ton of cane than the highest pro-
duction from what has heretofore
been claimed as the finest cane region
in the State-Bayou Teche. The
usual yield of sugar is from 1870 to
160 pounds TO the ton of cane, but
the sample taken to the city by Mr..
Gueydan produced 220 pounds, be-
ing the highest yield every given in
the State, and proves this Southwest
region to be the best adapted for cane
growing OF any protion of the State,
and we expect to see the industry
largely developed in this section in
the neal future. We have all along
advised diversity Of crops, and when
it is so plainly proven that other pro-
ducts besides rice are equally or mor
remunerative it 10 very poor policy
for or planters to continue to plant
nothing else, and especially when
the market is manipulated by a trust
and nothing like the intrinic value of
the cereal can be obtained.-Crowley

and the nomination was seconded
in well deserved words Of praise and
confidence by Mr.. A. M. Martin.
Mr.. Gordy's nomination was also
made by reclamation.
Mr.. Julian Mouton, being escorted
to the floor by a committee of three,
thanked the convention for the honor
conferred upon him, and stated that
although he felt gratifed to be the
standard-bearer of the Judicial
Democracy yet it was not without a
keen sense of the great responsibility
that al thrust upon his shoulders
that he accepted. The discrimina-
ton Of right and wrong and the up
right adjustment of personal diff
f~erences that every judge is called
upon to settle are duties of the great
est consideration. However, he
aspired to the nomination, and hav-
ing received it, the confidence re-
posed il him by the Democracy of
Vermilion and Lafayette would not
be betrayed.
Mr.. Minos T. Gordy standing on
the same floor, where his untiring
energy has enabled him to make his
name a terror to all criminals in La
fayette parish, accepted the NOM
nation as district attorney with the
same motives that had prompted
HIM in the past. No guarantee
could he offer but that of his past re-
cord as district attorney. Guided by
a of justice and equity he en-
oeavored IN the past to discharge his
duties as best he could, and should
he be reelected he only wished that
his six years experience would bet.

The committee having announced
that they were ready to report, the

Resolved, That we reaffirm our allie
glance to the ti~me-honored principles OF
the Democratic party, believing that they
constitute the best rule of action for an
enlightened people under q democratic
republican form of government.
Resolved, That we point with pride to
the record made by the Democratic party
through the present administration,
marked by honest, faithful n business
hke management of every State interest,
evidenced by the improved condition OF
it's finances-its bonds above par; its debt
being gradually retired; it's public institu-
lions enlarged and improved and run upon
a cash basis; it's constantly growing and
improved pablo school system; a com
plete levee system; its expenses kept be-
low its revenues, and its obligations
promptly pad in cash and universal con-
tidence established and maintained; that
the management of the affairs OF our par
ishes under Democratic rule furnishes
equal SQUIRE of congratulation, as shown
by the settlement of a large Judgment and
floating debt; the absence of any out
standing claims; the prompt payment of
current expenses, as we'll as their mate
rial reduction; the improvement of the
public roads, it's public buildings and
bridges. and annual increasing apprOpria-
tions for public schools, all within and be-
low the regular rate of parochial taxa
ton; that tie maintenance and perpetual
tion of this condition OF State n local
administration is the principal issue in
the coming election.
Whereas, there is an honest difference
of opinion among Democrats upon the
question of the free coinage of silver, BIZ
nletallisIn and monometallism; and
Whereas, this convention deals only with
State politics; and
Whereas, the money question belongs
to the domain of national politics only,
therefore be it
Resolved, That this convention refer
this questionto to the Democracy of the
State when they select delegates to the
national convention and in nominating
their candidates to the legislature, State
Senate and members of Congress.
Resolved, That we indOrse and reaffirm
the Monroe doctrine as announced in the
recent message Of the President of the
United States addressed to Congress on the
Venezuela question. and that we pledge
the support of this State to all proper
measures that may be taken for it's en-
forcement.

Senator Allison Speaks on
the Vital Issues of
the Day.
GOOD MONEY rs NEEDED
Commerce Demands It's Use
Until International Bimetal.
lism Is Secured.
PROTECTION ALSO CHAMPIoNED
Two Meetings at Each of Which
Four Thousand People Assemble
in a Tent.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 3.-The Re-
publican campaign in Central Iowa was
opened here this afternoon and evening.
Senator Allison spoke in the afternoon
and Congressman Robert Cousins in the
evening. Both meetings were held in a
tent seating 1000 people, and it was filed
on each occasion. Major E. II. Conger,
candidate for elector at large and ex- Min
lister to Brazil, presided at the Allison
meeting.
Senator Allison in his address touched
upon the tariff and other issues, but de-
voted most of his time to the silver qLes-
ton. He traced the history of monetary
legislation IN this country. He quoted
from statistics to sustain his contention
that there was no diminution in the
amount of metallic money in use in the
world in the period from 1873 to 1895, and
that therefore the fall in prices in that
period could not be attributed to such a
diminution.
He stated that it would be impossible
for the United States to restore the value
of silver by independent action and that
the extensive wealth and commerce of
this country demanded the use of the best
money until by international action silver
could be made as good as gold. The sue
cess of the free-coinage movement, he
said, would result in a fuctuating and
debased standard of money, carrying in
its pathway distress and disaster to every
interest and to every location. The
adoption of the Republican policy of
maintaining the standard of our money, of
providing sufficient revenues for the
Government and of protection to Ameri-
can industries, would restore confidence
and prosperity.
Congressman Cousins gave con siderable
time to the tariff question in his address.
