Mexico today is the most prosperous

1t was R. D. Winters, the well-known

tended trip throughout our sister re-

silver questions. He is a careful OBJ

about cheap silver and cheap labor in
Mexico simply does not know what ne
is talking about. When Mr.. Winters

FARMING.

From the standpoint of the farmer
there is no country on the globe where
a man can make so much with as little
eXertion. The market values are high
er, and there is a far greater demand
for products than can be supplied.
Probably the most interesting infor-
nation on the point of market values

CONDITION OF LABOR.

Now, to thoroughly understand this
proposition it is necessary to know that
the common Aztec laborer is lazy,
shiftless and unreliable. An American
laborer can easily do as much work as
six natives. Let me illustrate it to you.
AT Monterey large brick building was
in course of construction. The white
laborer, receiving $3.50 per day,
worked alongside the native, who re-
ceived but 80 cents per day. 1t was
demonstrated that the white laborer
laid on an average of seven bricks TO
the natives one At the Iturbide hotel
in the City of Mexico, a stone wall
forty feet long by twenty feet
high was being put UP. Twen-
ty native stone masons having
been working on it since May 1 and
when I left there ten days ago it was
about two-tfirds completed. The I'M
skilled Iaborer is only employed where
the skilled cannot be secured. The
average farm laborer in this country
receives from SIS TO $50 per month and
board. I could take an almost unlimit-
ed number of men to Mexico and they
could secure work on the plantations
all the year around at S35 per month
and board.

NO FLOATING DEBT.

"a great many people nowadays like
to talk about the bankrupt condition Of
Mexico as an argument against free
silver" said Mr.. Winters to a Herald
man last evening. 'TThey love TO dwell
upon cheap labor as q condition aris-
ing from the fact that Mexico is on a.
silver basis. Now, let me assert that
neither proposition is true. In the
first place, Mexico has not a single dol
lar of fioat1rg debt. The only indebted
ness it has is the bonded, which can
not be paid off at the present time.
Every individual state within her Dor
ders is free from debt and some of
them have a large surplus in their
treasures. This can all be proven by
statistics.

IMPROVEMENTS GOING ON.

II doubt if any country in the world
can make a better showing. Take the
improvements now going on. Here are
some of the principal ones: Improve
ments for the drainage OF the basin in
the City of Mexico, $500, 600; harbor
improvements at Vera Cruz, $500, 900;
Tampico harbor Improvements s, 81, 000,-
900; Coatsocalcos harbor, 81, 900, 900; dry
docks at Tlocatalpau, $1,000, 600; Tuan-
tepec railroad reconstruction, ultimate
expenditure in ten years, $40, 000, 900 Be
sides these there are many eXpendi-
lures on Pacific coast ports. Mexico
has today under construction upwards
of $2O,000,000 in public works and I
doubt if any country, considering the
size, can make better showing.
''The great question in Mexico today
is the labor problem. Now, let me
state first that there is no such a thing
as cheap labor in that country in the
general sense that that term is under
stood. When people talk about cheap
labor in Mexico il is only applicable to
the unskilled, ignorant Indians, who
will work as low as 10 cents per day.
American laborers and skilled artisans
are paid higher wages there than in
this country, and the great problem
confronting the planters is how to OBJ
tain il.

One Mans Memories.

It's all right to say that the old time
Thanksgiving dinners were the best ever
eaten and that the features of the davis
celebration when we were boys incompar-
ably better than the football and other
games that are chief features now. But if
you were country boy 30 or 40 years ago
you might remember some peculiarities of
the day as then observed that might have
been pleasanter. For instance, the SER
mons which used to have to attend were
tremendously long drawn out and exceed
1ngly dreary efforts, and I used to sit in
agony through the hour and sometimes
hour and half consumed in their deliv-
cry. Then the dinner. It was big one
at my fathers house, and it took days and
days to get ready for it. But during all
this time of preparation my life was bur-
den. All the women folks were rushed
with work and therefore cross and
"touchy," and when I was not kept
busy helping them I was being shooed
out Of the way, so that should not inter-
fere with the progress of affairs. So many
children had to wait invariably, and there
were always six or seven of U.S.
Now, my father was the chief deacon of
ways one Of the children who waited"
He was such a mean little chap that we
never got on we'll together while our elders
ate, and I generally had to box his ears.
Once licked him good, and then my
father, the deacon, licked me better-so
well that couldn't sit down to eat the
cold dinner when it came time. Moreover,
I was always SO hungry when at last it
came time to eat that gorged myself ter
ribly with the cold food, and my dreams
those nights would be awful remem-
Der that one year, having great faith in
the efficacy Of prayer, prayed that next
year everybody might forget all about
When the day was remem-
bered and observed as usual next year, my
faith received great shock, which lasted
till I remembered that faith to beeffectual
must be held by the righteous, and this I
knew I was not

A MODERN FLAVOR. /
Has Thanksgiving Observance Degenerate
ed, After All?

Has Thanksgiving Observance Degenerate
ed, After All?
It seems to be generally held that the
"frst Thanksgiving" came after the first
bountiful harvest by the pilgrims and was
chiefly religious feast and this is true
enough, but this first Thanksgiving" was
not the only one. 1t took place in 1898,
and while all who took part were seemly
and devout in their demeanor there was
probably no lack of hilarity and honest,
hearty laughter. In this it was probably
more like the modern city Thanksgiving
observance than some rural THANKSGIVING
doings of the middle of this century and
later. In another matter it resembled the
modern day-it was marked by what must
have been very like athletic sports, for the
account of the day by Mr.. Winslow, one of
the pilgrim fathers says:
"Among other recreations we exercised
our arms, many of the Indians coming
among us, and with the rest their greatest
king, Massasoit, with some 80 men, whom
for three days we entertained and Toasted"
Now for the other first Thanksgiving. It
was held in 1893 in New York city and
was the first observance of the holiday by
the national authorities. In the course of
the day dinner was eaten at Fraunce's
cavern, at which number Of patriots got
shamefully drunk and had free fight, in
which an officers nose was broken. After
that they had so disgraceful quarrel
about turkey that Hamilton swore, and
when Washington heard about it he swore
twice.
If this be true, and it seems so to be,
then our forcfathers were quite as human
as the rest Of u.s.

Turkey Always In Evidence.

Gradually the observance of the holiday
has spread, until now the day is kept from
Maine to California. 1t has not detracted
from the due keeping of Christmas day in
the south nor has it interfered with the
observance of New Years day in New
York. 1t has become to the American
what Christmas day is to the Englishman
and something more Widely scattered
members Of families endeavor to be pres
emit in order to eat their Thanksgiving
dinner under the old rooftree. The tur-
key, which Franklin wished to make the
national emblem in place of the eagle, is
always in evidence on Thanksgiving day.

SAN Francisco, April 2l.-The par
ticulars of the murder of Capt. Philip
Dreyer, of the schooner Lyman D.
Foster, of this city, which sailed from
New Whatcom, WASH, on the 22nd of
last December with cargo of lumber
for Shanghai, were received by the
steamer Gaelic, which arrived from the
Orient The murder was committed
on February 25, by the Chinese
cook. All Lin, who seemed to have
taken dislike to Capt Dreyer. lin
attacked the skipper with galley AK,
when the steward came to the cap
tain's assistance. The cook turned on
the steward, telling him with blow
over the head and then drawing pis-
toll from beneath his blouse fired two
breast. The skipper reeled. staggered
toward the door and shouted for help,
then sank to the deck just outside the
galley.
In the meanwhile the crew of the
Foster were hastily arming themselves
with Delaying pins and axes
The Chinese slipped around the gal
ley and entered the place, AK in hand.
One of the sailors tried to disarm and
was cut over the head and
about the body. Eight CHASTITY
wounds were made by the
fiend before the sailor could
retreat. Suddenly flames issued from
the galley window. The murderer had
fred tho ship and was preparing to
roast himself to death. The flames
commenced to spread rapidly. A hose
line was made fast to the pumps and
the crew had to work to save their
lives. Water was poured in upon
the flames, but as the fire did
not seem to be subdued. the
doors of the galley were burst in and
after brief hand to hand struggle the
Chinaman was dragged on deck, He
was made fast to the mainmast while
the seamen worked to eXtinguish the
| flames. After the fire was nearly un-
der control the cook broke from the
cords that bound him and rushing to
the port rail- leaped into the sea,
sinking out of sight in few seconds.
Capt Dreyer and the two wounded
sailors were given every care, but the
bullets of the assassin had reached
vital spot. The skipper fingered until
nearly noon the next day, then died.
He was buried at sea with solemn cere-
mony. The steward and the wounded
seaman both recovered, though their
wounds were severe.
