The Des Mones Leader, in an argument
againt the policy of a Is to | platform in
Iowa, recalls to the minds of Democrats
the fact that the Democratic candidates for
congress in that state in 1894 who ran on
6 to / platform "were not only beaten,
but were beaten bv the largest majorities
cast against Democratic candidates since
the war issues became obscure" The
leading Democratic newspapers in Iowa are
for an honest money platform, and there
Is no doubt that the great preponderance
of Democratic popular sentiment in the
state is the same way. The silver plat
forms adopted in local Democratic con-
ventions are the result of mlschievous
and perverse activity by dishonest and
shallow politicians, the same as in Illi-
nois.-Chicago Chronicle.

How Congress Can Please the Public

The prospect is reported from Washing
ton that the house will wind up it's bus-
ness soon, and make a claim on the graft
tude of the country by an early adjourn
ment. IL is somewhat remarkable
evidence of a frank recognition of the
public estimate of the congress, when its
members consider that they will best earn
the public approval by effacing themselves
in their collective character. - Pittsburg

PROSPERITY IN MEXICO.


1t is well enough to talk about
prosperity in Mexico to those who
have never been there. Some may
believe it; but as the people of the
United States view prosperity Mexico
is anything but prosperous. In an
interview published in the New Y ork
Sun August 23d, Jose Y. Limantour,
Mexican minister of Finance, says
Mexico said Mr.. Limantour,
a'has always had free coinage. The
ratio is 169 to /. Theoretically, our
standard is bimetallic, but, of couse,
1t is really single silver standard.
1t IS not possible to have double
standard under free coinage. Any
gold we have is Immediately ex-
ported, and 1 have never seen any
gold in circulation in Mexico. Gold
is at a premium of nearly 200. We
produce but little gold. Last year
the output was 100000 ounces,
while We produced about the same
amount of silver as the United States,
55,OO0,000 or 6O,OOC.OOO ounces.
ttThere is keen interest il Mex
leo in the result of your election, be-
cause of the effect it will have upon
the price of silver generally. Each
time silver goes down it is a serious
detriment to our country, because we
have made four foreign loans, paya-
BILE in gold. AS silver depreciates
and the premium on gold is increased,
it becomes more difficult for our gov.
eminent to meet these gold obliga-
tions. OF course, VIC have silver
bonds also, which are taken up at
home. The gold bonds are worth
nearly double what the silver bonds
are worth. It was a serious blow to
as when the Indian mints were closed
in 1892 and the Sherman act was re-
pealed in 1898, because of the fall in
the price of silver which followed.
t.The price of imported goods has
been doubled. The increasein price
of domestic products which are con-
snmed at home has been small. The
price OF tropical products which are
raised principally for export has vir
tually increased, because they are
paid for in gold, the international
medium of exchange, and the pre-
MUM en- gold in Mexico has in
creased with the fall of silver. On
this account the producers of coffee
and other tropical products have
profited greatly and have grown very
wealthy. The fall in silver has also
had the effect of developing our
manufacturing industries
.tHow do you account for thatf''
-sOwing to The fact that we must
pay fol foreign manufactures in gold,
their price in the deprecated silver

has greatly increased. The price of
domestic manufactures, for which sill
yer is paid, has not increased. Hence
the tendency has been to develop
domestic industries, and wool, iron,
linen, and paper mills have sprung
up all over the country. The fall in
silver has been in effect species of
protection, which has become more
important than the tariff
would not further fall in the
price of silver be beneficial, accord
ing to the same reasoning
"No; because manufacturers want
just enough protection to enable
them to keep the home market.
They do not want any more than that.
Furthermore, we must bear in mind
the point that mentioned before,
that every fall in silver is detrlment
to our national finances. It is det
riment, too, to the railroad compa-
nies, which have invested gold cap
ital and issued gold bonds, but whose
earnings are in silver. What we fear
most is fuctuation in the price of
silver, or in the rate of exchange
Our commerce is conservative and
not speculative, and while the price
of silver is IN doubt. our business
men buy only what they need from
time to time, and undertake no large
operations. This is the best time,
however, to invest money in Mexico,
because silver has got down so low
that it is likely to go up now rather
than to continue downward"
as Mexico prosperous on the sill
yer standard %
"Our prosperity is increasing rap
idly, but it is due to a number of
causes, and not especially to the sill
yer standard"
"What is the effect upon wages of
the depreciating silver standard p
"They have not increased precepti-
bly,. The same is true of Japan,
where wages are very low Fol this
reason, Japan and Mexico will, in a
few years, be able to compete sue
cessfully with England and the United
States because of the silver standard
and low wages
"What is the ruling rate of wages
for agricultural laborers in Mexico p
.'Twenty-fiye cents day.
These are the words of one whose
interests are to present the matter as
favorably as possible for Mexico.
The ruling rate of wages for agricul=
tural laborers in Mexico is twenty
five cents a day. Wage Apot in

The matter of lighting the streets
of our city is becomingan important
one. If we cannot afford electric
lights we can afford oil lights which
are a great improvement over black
darkness. Many cities are lighted by
incandescent lamps, which are less
expensive than arc lights and more
desirable than lamps. We hope some
thing in this line Will be done soon.
