mon, the reverend gentleman asserts, deals
only with the affairs of the church duiing
the last year.
year ago Mr.. Power preached his
twentieth anniversary sermon and EN-
bodied in that the history of ,he church,
which began over fifty years ago. He re-
viewed then at some length the gro with of

1876, when he began his pastOrate.
Rev. Mr.. Power, previous To his accept
apce of the call extended to him. was a
professor in Bethany College, West Viz

Silver in Mexico.

The republicans are not getting much
valuable campaign plumber by their
raid into Mexico. Most of the facts
they find there are strong arguments
In favor of the free coinage of silver by
the United States.
Walter Stevens is one Of the most in.
telligent, accurate and trustworthy cor
respondents in the United States. The
fact that he represents in Mexico! a
newspaper that yearns to discredit the
coinage and currency system of that
country only gives the more convinc-
ing force to the old facts which he re-
ports.
The truth about the silver dollar of
Mexico is that it buys, to-day, al much
domestic commodities as it did ten
years ago, when its bullion value was
at par with American gold coin. Wa.
ges remain steady at the figures Of ten
years ago and the cost of Lying has
not increased to plain people who are
not buyers of cost foreign goods. The
artificial and temporary disparity of
silver to gold has enhanced the prices
of imported wares, but of domestic
products, including manufactured ar
ticles. the "ffty-cent" dollar of Mexico
buys as much as it ever did,
Even in railroad freights this "ffty-
cent" dollar pays as much as it did ten
years ago-as much in Mexico as the
gold dollar pays in the United States.
The Mexican National road has a
branch in Texas-from Laredo 100
miles to Corpus Christi on the gulf,
The distance by the same road to Mont
rey in Mexico is 1853 miles. From La
redo to Corpus Christi the freight
charge is 80 cents per 100 pounds
in gold. From Laredo to Montrey the
charge is So cents per 100 pounds in
Mexican silver,
MI. Stevens got these figures from
the books of the company at Laredo,
The rates were fixed ten years ago and
the schedule Is still In effect. The
Mexican rates must be satisfactory to
the company or they would have been
raised long ago.
The silver dollar Of Mexico is a bet
ter thing for the Mexicans than the
single standard gold dollar has proved
for us. Instead Of shrinkage and hard
times, Mexico has solvency and ex-
pansion of trade,
The reconciliation of silver by the
United States might not be a good
thing for Mexeico. By raising the
market price of silver it might start a
decline in prices and wages among the
MexiCans,
That it would be g good thing for
business and industry In the United
States is proved both by the experience
of Mexico and by the disasters that
have overtaken business and industry
here as direct result of every attack
upon our silver currency,-St, Louis
Republlc.

Old Bank Notes Redeemed.

After the death of an old woman, long q
servant in ~Southbridge, Mass, there were
found among her possessions three hundred
and ninety-eight dollars in old New England
State Bank bills. They were issued by nine
teen Massachusetts, eight Rhode Island,
six Connecticut banks and one Maine bank.
Although some of the bills were forty years
old, and the banks were bound to pay none
of them, the administrator in charge of the
estate had little difficulty in securing their
redemption
