NAL price Of corn Is about one cent per
pound. Owing to drouths in various
parts of the country, the present price
is unusually high.
Butter, rs cents pound.
Eggs, rs cents per dozen.
Beef, in the City of Mexico. 16 cents
per pound; finest quality, 25 cents; in
the interior cities. II cents per pound; ;
on the ranches, cents a pound.
Ranch cattle are worth about SIG
per head.
Fruit and vegetables represent
large proportion of the diet of the Mex
ican workman, and are very cheap.
The cost of living in the City of Mex
leo is about the same in Mexican dollars
as 1t is in the city of New York in Amer
ican dollars, and the living expenses in
the interior cities is fully 33 per cent
less than it is in the capital. Good four
to six room houses rent at from SIS to $40
a month. Board can be obtained in the
best city restaurants at three meals for
a dollar, in the chop houses from Is to
25 cents a meal.
The skilled American laborer in Mex
leo receives, on an average, about twice
as many silver dollars as does his fellow
in the United States. Railroad engi-
neers get as much as $3.50 per month,
and mechanics easily earn IS a day.
Let no man be misled by the stories
of "silver-cursed and miserable Mex
leo" that are held up as danger signals
against the free coinage of silver in
this country. Mexico today is pro-
gressive and prosperous.

His Usual Methods

Col Hellison Clay Otis, the editor Of
the Times, with his usual methods, is
making an Indian campaign against
Frank RAIDER, the present mayor Of the
city and member Of the Republican
party.
Every fair-minded man believes in
honorable warfare and fair play. Tho
tactics of the Apache, the weapons Of
the coward, the lying deceit of the hypo-
critic, and the methods of the sslf-opin-
donated bully are always denounced by
thinking men.
AS far as Mayor RAIDER is concerned,
the opposition he Is receiving from Otis
is making for him many friends. He
brings against that official serious
charges, but produces not one iota OF
proof. About him he circulates through
his paper slander and falsehood, printed
by this cowardly braggart, with tho
knowledge that the statements are bars-
faced lies
The Labor World does not stand as the
champion Of Frank RAIDER or his ad-
ministration, but it does stand as tho
enemy Of the political methods Of the
Otis. person with whom nothing is too
dastardly or villainous to use to accom-
plish his personal ends. With him noth-
ing is sacred. He wars upon women and
children, and like the sneaking savage
that he is, swoops down upon the un-
suspecting, destroying everything that
stands in his way. Hated and despised
by all who know him. he is an outcast
in this city, where he can look around
about him upon the wrecks that bis mall
ice and spleen and his dishonorable
methods have created.
If there is one cause that will bring
about the reelection of Mayor RAIDER,
it is the opposition and the cowardly
fight that Harrison Gray Otis and tho
Los Angeles Times are making upon
him.-LabOr World,

INTRINSIC AND RELATIVE
VALUES

It will tend to clarity the minds of
those who are persuaded that gold
must be acknowledged king by divine
right, 1. e., by virtue of its intrinsic
value, II they will but consider that gold
is not money. nor Is silver. Money is
q creature of the law. 1t is a medium Of
exchange, and the market and measure.
in dollars and cents, of all forms OF
property. Yet, If we had no such thing
as money. there would still be value in
all forms of commodities. Their values
would be both intrinsic and relative,
owing to the kind and to the use to
which mankind saw fit to put them.
their quantity in a state of nature, and
the amount of labor required for their
production. Their relative value would
change and fiuctuate according to sup
ply and demand, or want of demand.
Of any one or more of them at any par
ticular given time.
Now, should you destroy the money
function Of both gold and silver, and
prohibit their use as money by law
throughout the world. what would be
their relative value-the value Of gold
measured by silver, or vice versa? There
except to be used in the arts, and the
volume Of that use would be controlled
by the caprices of mankind. Conse-
quently their relative value, their value
asmeasured the one by the other. would
change and huctuate according to their
use. If silver were in greater use and
demand than gold. it would rise in value
measured in gold, and the result would
be that sixteen ounces Of silver might
be worth one, two. three, or more or
less, ounces of gold, according as that
use or demand was greater or less.
It is therefore a mistaken idea, as is
asserted by the gold advocates, that the
commercial worth of a commodity is
just the cost of its production. Its COM
mercial worth is controlled, in many
cases. more by the supply, use and
demand than by the labor and cost of
its production. For example, 1t does
not require any more labor to produce
a. potato crop one year than it does an
other, and why are potatoes worth fifty
cents one year and only twenty-five
cents per bushel another year? It is
not because 1t takes any more labor to
produce them when they command fifty
cents, but because Of coincident sup
ply and demand.
Just SO with gold. If 1t were not used
throughout the world as money, its de-
mand would be largely taken from 1t
and it would not be worth SIG an ounce
its present value. Just how far it would
fall no man can tell; but some idea of
1t may be gathered from noting the
slump" that silver has experienced
since its demonstration by Europe and
the United States. The difference, how
ever, would certainly be in favor of
silver, because that has been every
where deemed indispensable for subsid-
larry money, and is always sure of a
market for that utility. But if gold
were demonetized it's market value
would drop to the price it could COM
mand in the arts. 1t is too limited in
quantity to do service for small change
money. We could get on famously
without gold, but silver is necessary
to do the worlds work.
