THE Popocrats are squirming har-
der and harder under the work that
the Mexican dollar is doing for the
cause of sound money. They are
making every endeavor to break the
force of the lesson but with poor sue
cess. They have given serious rea-
sons why it was worth only it's bullion
value, but have as yet found none
that will hold water. The fact of
the matter is that the fat of Uncle
Sam alone will not lift SO cents worth
of silver above it's bullion value.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-08-28

ONE of the reasons given by the
Popocrats for free silver coinage is
that prices will be better in the line
of many products. This is undoubted-
ly so as'is always the.case with depreci-
ated money. But labor is one of the
things that is not always included in
the advance. And when it does ad-
vance it does not keep pace with the
advance in the price OF the products
of it's hand. This is shown by results
in Mexico which is quoted by some
Popocrats as being far more prosper
Gus under free silver than is the
United States. Here is a sample as
related by Congressman Tarver, of
Texas, who has lived for thirty years
on the Rio Grande, the boundary be-
tween this country and Mexico. He
says that sin 1870, Mexico was on a
gold basis-that is, her gold and silver
coins were of the same purchasing
power, and circulated at a parity.
The Mexican dollar, gold or silver,
was worth Sill in American money.
These Mexican laborers then received
SO to SIS per month. Today the Mexi-
can silver dollar is worth only about
81 cents in American money. yet they
receive SO to SIS in Mexican dollars
per month. The experience of Amer
lean workingmen would be very much
the same. Wages are the last thing
to rise under a deprecated currency,
as they are the first thing to fall dur
ing panic" In the meantime the
price of all he has to live on costs him
twice as much.

SOME one has given forth the fol
lowing truths which should receive
the thoughtful consideration not only
of the wage earners, but also of the
farmers. They contain the issue in a
nutshell:
The mills of America are of first
Importance to American workmen
The workmen of America and what
they can buy and pay for are OF
first Importance to American far.
mers.
Free trade means putting American
workmen in free competition with the
products of Chinese labor.
Free silver means paying them in
money after the style of the Chinese.

THE LAW WON'T DO 1T.

The silver men say: All we ask is
that the law which gave us "honest
silver dollars" previous to 1898 be re-
stored. Well that law could be re-
stored easily enough, but it would not
put into circulation the honest silver
dollar" of those days, because the
conditions are entirely changed. Sill
yer is not now worth as much as it
was worth then, and Uncle Sans fat
will not of itself raise it to it's old
time value. The restoring of that
law, which would open the minis of
this country to free coinage, would
doubtless cause silver to raise in
price somewhat under the hands of
the bullion spectators, but it would
not take it to $l.29 in the markets Of
the world, nor would it bring it to a
par with gold in this country. 1t
might possibly, for time at least
raise the bullion value of the dollar to
60 or IS cents, but it is extremely
doubtful that it would be able to
sustain it any above that point, and
the chances are that it would not
keep it at that point after the first
few months. Behind the law is
needed world wide demand for silver
in order to increase it's price materi-
ally, and such demand the United
States by it's fat, is unable to create.

CAUSES OF TYPHOID FEVER.

REPORT OF AN EXPERT ON THE
WATER USED IN CHESTER
TOWN, ND.
CHESTERTOWN, Nd. Sept. ia
chemical analysis of water from tho
reservoir supplied TO the residents of
Chesterlown, Kent county has been
made by y. G.. Horton, assistant in
bacteriology, laboratory hygiene, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. Professor
Horton says:
Although the number of bacteria /
not extra high, yet it is higher than
good water should show. The bacillus
of typhoid was not recovered from Oh
sample but the colon bacillus was
found in abundance, thus indicating
contamination from intestinal dis
charges of human beings or of the
lower animals This gives a possibility
of the water having been the means OF
spreading your typhoid.
"Other points in the chemical analy
sis indicate animal contamination of
the water I should from the above
examination place the water among
suspicious waters. and ono not to be
used for domestic purposes without
boiling. especially so while typhoic

ANGLERS INTERESTED IN THE

WEST CHESTER, Sept. 1S.-H is
more than likely that the management
of the Wilmington and Northern Rail-

eral and practical assistance in a fur
ther stocking of the stream, since they
realize that in the event of popular

glers having their homes along their
line, the money and efforts expended
will prove a good investment. And, in
addition to their help, President
Hayes, of the Lenape and West Ches-

point of interest Coatesville, Morton
