THEIR DOLLARS TALK.

The social and industrial conditions of
Mexico are not comparable with those of
the United States for obvious reasons, but
the question whether Mexico Is advancing
or rotrograding under silver standard is
material In the bearing OF the answer upon
the contention that gold is an essential
standard OF civilization. Yesterdays AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches contained this
significant statement;
For the first time in the financial his
tory of Mexico the country Is without a
floating debt. all outstanding obligations
having been funded In new silver per
cent bonds which have been bought up in
Europe. none being left here. The cash

This is a direct confirmation Of The Posts
statements. heretofore. that Mexico's silver
obligations are being eagerly snatched up
by the money brokers of Europe, and at a
higher price. measured In gold. than is
paid for United States securities. yet the
emissaries and organs OF these brokers in
this country are endeavoring TO convince
the people that Bryan's election would pre-
cipltate panic and destroy American
credit. In this case. the dollars OF the
European bankers speak louder than their
words.

Alabama are very valuable and almost In

the vote for the popullst electors, as dis

electors is distinct from one for the re-
