As a result, OF the premium on gold,
the Mexican consumer now purchases
goods at home at the same price as
when gold was at par, and he pays the
money to the native manufacturer in
stead of sending it to Europe. The re-
suit that there is no extra cost to the
consumer, and millions Of dollars have
been kept at home and added TO the
capital of the country.
In the matter OF real estate values:
The coffee plantations of the country
have risen in value from Sl5 to $50 an
acre to from $500 to $500 an acre, and
their profits from SO to SIS, which was
the percentage of profit when god was
at par. to from $50 to $3.50 per acre an
nually. All real estate has also adj
vanced in value.
The demand for skilled laborers, par
ticularly such as are familiar with the
country, the language ana the customs
of the people, is fully equal TO- Il no'
greater. than the supply. and the wages
of this class of labor have been very
materially increased. The native man
ufacturer has prospered under silver at
the expense OF thej foreign merchant
and importer. Silver stimulates exports
and contracts imports.
No better proof Of the material pro-
gress of the republic can be given than
is f6nna1n the steady increase in the
leading railways and increase in foreign
commerce.
Exports from this republic Of agri-

Nux-?hospho Would Have Cured Her.

1t would be surprising to the critical
observer to have read his newspaper, and
not find in its columns an account of one
or more suicides. The number of women
who are resorting to self destruction is
alarmingly on the increase. We can
usually account for the suicide of a man,
and find the cause to lie in lack of sue
cess IN life from a business standpoint.
Women are driven to desperation be
cause they are failures as maidens, fall
ureS as wives, failures as mothers. De-
velope the mental faculties TO as great
degree Of perfection as you will, let her
be sufficiently accomplished TO meet al
the requirements of every degree of So
ciety, and notwithstanding her ability as
based upon her mental development to
become a bright and attractive star in
the armament of the highest social set,
unless she is standing upon the rock of a
perfect physical condition She becomes q
pitiable failure There is a degree of
conventionallity about the votaries Of
present day society, which precludes tina
natural confidence one girl owes to
another, that a daughter owes to a
mother. Natures demands UNDECIDED in
an attempt at higher civilization, and
the woman goes on through life suffering
all the tortures attendant upon a de.
ranged organism, and she cannot be
blamed for refusing to submit to the alb
horent examinations and local treatment
insisted upon by the general practitioner.
Science has now, however, come to the
rescue of womankind, by placing within
her reach the result of its researches,
NUx-PHosPHo. You need no longer be.
come old in action before your time, as
a result OF organic disorders, irregular

Mckinley on Silver in 1891.

On the 18th of February, 1891 he thus
expressed himself on the subject in a
speech ct Toledo:
During all of Grover Clevelands
years at the head Of the government he
was dishonoriIg one of our precious
metals, one Of our own great products,
degrading silver and raising the price
of gold. He endeavOred even before his
Inauguration to office to stop the coin
age of silver dollars, and afterward and
20 the end of his administration persist
emily used his power to that end. He
was determined to contract the circu-
lating medium and to demonetize one Of
the coins Of commerce, limit the volume
of money among the people, make money
scarce, and, therefore. dear. He would
have increased the value Of money and
diminished the value Of everything
else"

Tariff.
Chairman Faulkner has been search
ing diligently through the messages Of
President Harrison and the reports of
his Cabinet officers and finds general
support of the theory of free coinage
there sustained. The following opinion
Of President Harrison on the causes Of
higher prices in his annual message TO
Congress, December l, 1890, is as good
an argument for the platform of the
Democratic party as could have been
written by Mr.. Bryan himself. 1t IS
particularly valuable. because it is based
on facts brought under Mr.. Harrison's
observation. The extract from the
message is as follows:
The general tariff act has only par
TALLY gone into operation. some OF It's
important provisions being limited TO
take effect at dates yet in the future.
The general provisions OF the law have
been In force less than sixty days. It's
permanent effect upon trade and prices
= still largely stands in conjecture. 1t
IS curious to note that the advance IN
the prices Of articles wholly unaffected
by the tariff act was by many hastily
ascrbed TO that act. Notice was not
taken Z the fact that the general ten
dency of the markets was upward from
influences wholly apart from the recent
tariff legislation.

THE HIGHBINDER WAR.
Thirteen of the Most Notorious Ratchet
Men Arrive Mt San Francisco.

Thirteen of the Most Notorious Hatchet
Men Arrive Mt San Francisco.
SAN Francisco, July 27.-The bitter
ness of the vendetta of local Chinese
merchants is shown in the arrival and
warlike preparations Of IL Of the most
notorious Ratchet men in the state.
The appearance Of these highbinders
and the announcement that the price
held upon the heads of Joe Car and Lee
Nee Toy had been increased to 81 900,
created the greatest excitement in the
district. News spread rapidly and the
agents of both sides were on the streets,
at the police stations and at the Chinese
consulate. 1t is claimed that
the highbinders have been brought
to this city by Lee Zip
Duck, the Chinese merchant, and
gambler, who instigated the expulsion
of the prescribed merchants from their
society, and at whose door is placed the
blame for all the recent disturbances,
including the murder of the Chinese
clam diggers.
Four Chinese have reported to the
authorities that they overheard a con-
versation in which Lee Zip Duck guar
anteed to pay 81 GOO for the life of either
Joe Car or Lee Nee Toy. These mel
are willing to swear to their statement
and insist that a series of new murders
is being planned. Most of the Chinese
highbinders who arrived in the city are
from Fresno. They belong to tine Bow
On Tong, the most notorious and most
powerful highbinders' society in the
state. Among its members are the
most desperate Chinese criminals in
California
