SOUND DOCTRINE.


 The New York Recorder of Septem- Der 18th, contains the following which will be perused with interest by all readers of TIE OASIS:
 Don Pedro B. Chisem, New Yorker, who for thirty-seven years has been a resident of Guaymas, So- nora, Mexico, arrived in the city yes teruay. Mir. Chisem, or Don Pedrc,as he is called in Mexico, is one of the leading merchants of that country and a personal friend of President Diaz, as we'll as many of the leading statesmen. It would be difficult to find any one better posted in the af- fairs of the southern Republic than he.
 When questioned as Go the effect upon the country of Mexico being a silver country y-Don Pedro said: "The country is booming, and it's silver mines are the cause Of its success, the very backbone of the na- tion, and the only thing which has en- abled it to rise, phUnix-like, from the disastrous effects of numerous reyOlu. tions. Agricultural interests can be ruined by such internal Strifes, but when wealth lies embedded in the very heart of the country it can re- cover from these disasters.
 "MexicO, however, is by no means a silver country. While it has an open coinage it has no free coinage, and should the latter be adopted tue effect would be as disastrous to them as 1t would be to the Cnited States, if ever put into effect.
 We want to see sound money win in the coming election, for we can get better price for our silver under a gold standard than if free coinage of silver was allowed. In Mexico we can take our bullion to the mint, and have 1t coined into dollars, but we have to pay the Government for this service, as it is only right and proper that we should dO The tax-an internal rev. enue one for coinage, amounts to about 4.4l-l00 per cent.
 Now, as to the profit to the miner. Silver is worth eS cents an ounce, and the premium is 96 per cent: 96 per cent. of 6S would be 65 2S; add to this the price 6S, and you will have total of f33.2S. The standard is l29.2s. Deduct this from 1928, and there re- mains 3.q9, or nearly cents on the ounce, which represents the profit Of the miner.
 "Silver is, and always will be, one oi the precious metals of the world, and | it's characterization in country where | it abounds is a crying shame. The | United States should remonetize sil- yer, so that it may have standard. Personally, l am strongly in favor oi an open-but not a free coinage, oi the metal. The passage of Jhe free silver bill would not effect it's remone' tization, but, rather, still further de monetiZe it.
 "The mining interests of this coun. l try should be protected, but 1t Is a delusion of mine owners to imagine that a free coinage of silver would ac' complish this. For silver dollar tc be worth dollar all the world over is the protection the silver mining in dustry needs. A depreciation of any commodity cannot but injure the com mercial success of that commodity Free coinage would mean that q fur ther depreciation of silver and a de cline from it's present value.
 'We need more men in Mexico Several of the mines are very short Mexico is a great field for live, active l man and bolde out avery in0ucemeni

As the bullion value of silver and the quotation of Mexican dollars fell, prices of goods in Mexican money advanced in the stores of Nogales, un- til now the Mexican dollar buys but half as much as it once did. But the wages of Mexican workingmen re- nIained stationary. Consequently their living was reduced by half. But pricesin American money remained as before. and those paid in that coin fare as we'll as ever. Free and inde- pendent coinage of silver would affect worklngmen all over the United States in the same way. The republi- can party pledges itself to a policy of international bi.metallism, which is the only policy which can rehabilitate silver without robbing the working man. It IS the only policy which American workingmen should sup port.

he was about to jump ashore, and in
pulling on him. threw him into the

yawl boat. which was lying alongside,
when he was for the second time thrown
into the water by the Captain. The

succeeded but for his cunning. When
they first caught sight of the fleeing
negro and hailed him. he pointed out a

them that he was the thief. The men
at once opened fire on the brakeman,
