HI spoke to me very highly Of them

The iron works Of Monterey are be-
ginning to crowd the American product.
Mr.. Robertson told me FRAT he was sell

does it: He manufactures on silver
basis and sells in The United States on

MUM Of 81 80 when his money gets into
Mexico he practically doubles ii.
Silver IN Mexico has acted with gold
as a premium as the most comprfhen-
sive and equitable protective tariff any
country has ever known. Il protects
the farmer as well as the manufacturer
and stimulates all kinds CT business enOr-

manufacturing plows does so on an av-

TO the United States. pays the duty and
sells for SIS IN gold. He takes his Sc back
TO Mexico and with gold at 4 premium
of 81 80 his Sc becomes $11 40. The
manager Of the Bank OF London and
Mexico said TO me that he hoped gold
would go 10 a premium o. 81. 80. for If It
did i, would be just so much additional
protection, and, he added the McKin-

costs nothing TO collect it,"
There is no such thing in Mexico as
a 5O-cent dollar, and there never has been
such thing there. On the contrary. gold
has fuctuated from 81 In 1873 TO POI in
1893. A Mexican dollar measured bv

On the 18th of February, 1891 he thus
expressed himself on the subject in a
speech al Toledo:

Inauguration to office to stop the coin
age Of silver dollars, and afterward and
60 the end Of his administration persist
emily used his power to that end. He
was determined to contract the circu-
latLng 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 tie value Of everything
else"

Torn to PieceSl
To the Editor of the Register.


Under the very exciting title as above
given, the Intelligencer of September Is
gives an account of Capt. Dovener's
speech Now, l am one of those who
heard the speech made by j. o. Pendle-
ten, and it was every word true, and
fail to see that Dovener did tear it to
pieces; perhaps he thought that abuse
and Misrepresentation would pass for
good argument and sound logic. Come
now, let us reason together; the theme is
worthy Of honest investigation. Mr.
Pendlejon made certain statements in
his speech, all of which will bear inves-
tigatlon; but not so with Mr.. Dovener;
he did not restate 10 his hearers the OBJ
tectiOnable statements Of Mr.. Pendle.Cn,
and in their turn refute them, which
would have been fair debate, but instead
of doing Jhis, Mr.. Dovener summed
them, as if afraid to touch them. The
Captain said that money is not the cause
of hard times, but the lack Of work 10
earn money. We will all agree with
him in this, and it is just what we are
contending for, but we say: More money
Will bring more work, and more work
viii bring more business to all.
Now Hr. Editor. as 10 mis- charge of
fooling the people, the absurdity of such
a position taken by the Captain is TOO
awfully nauseaJing 10 be entertained for
moment, Tor just think Of a gold stand
ard advocate talking Of anybody else
foOHng the people when they, the gold
ties. are condemned out of their own
mouth every time they speak. and when
they can't escape the charge of being in
league with the money power OF Great
Britain, when they are moreover con-
demned by the great and illusriOus Of
their own political school, in their recent
utterances, such men as COnkling and
even their wilOm candidate all stand in
direct opposition to the British gold
standard. Then IN regard to the vol
ume OF silver coined In a given period,
he undertook TO mislead his hearers by
statistics, while there might be millions
OF tons Of iron mined and made in.o
aXels and car wheels. and cars were in
demand. vet by a law these could not
be utilized, but would remain locked up
In great S,orehOuses. I ask my friend
what good those aXels and car wheels
would do ne commerce of the country?
Just so with the silver he speaks Of be-
ing coin d. But now let Mr. Dovener
hereafter tell his audiences why silver
was demonetized let him tell what Err
nest Seyd was doing in the United States
Congress when he, as shown by the Con-
gressional Record, made TO the Finance
committee some valuable suggestions re-
gardlng this act in question, which were
incorporated into the law as to the prom
ise that the Captain made regarding the
Foreign immigrants who came here to
take the places Of American working
men. l would like to ask him why.
with majority Of over 100, the Repub-
ncan Congress did not make such a law
last winter. Then they had the chance
they may never have I. again.

The action of the Democratic Judicial
Convention, composed of delegates from
Monongal;a. Marion and Harrison coun-
ties, which met here yesterday and nom
mated Charles Powell, of this city, for
Judge Of the Circuit Court, will meet the
universal appreciation of the party in the
three counties. Mr.. Powell is one OF the
ablest lawyers in the circuit, with a
clear judicial mind, and habits Of analy-
sis which will make him an able judge.
He is a strong candidate, not only in the
sense Of sterling integrity and excellent
legal equipments for the place, but in
the number of devoted friends he pos
,sesses in every part of the county. His
popularity in this county gave him a ma
iori ~ acf 800 for prosecuting attorney
and. although this is a Republican cir
cult, his majority for Judge will be many
more than that.
