AS nearly all the railroads, mines
smelters, and factories are owned
and operated by the Americans,
they would perfer to place their
orders in the United States for
such goods as they need to carry
on their business with, but
as long as the party that is now
in power in the United States keep
silver under their feet and say
"you can't get but fifty cents for
the Mexican dollars" they will
send their orders to Europe, simply
from the fact that they give them
better terms and allow them more
for their, money than they could
get in the United States.
Since the Americans came to
this country, they have embarked
in various enterprises. They
created new tastes; introduced
new goods; opened up new chan
nels for their sale, and they are
destined in the near future to
drain out all foreign competition
from this country. But the cleo
tion of Cleveland, and the de-
probation Of silver which was
brought about by the "gold bugs"
of Wall Street, London and their
associates, those cherished hopes
have been blighted.
III the American manufacturers
and merchants would consult
their own interests and pull to-
gether Regardless of politics, and
demand the reconciliation Of
silver and put the Mexican dollars
on par with the American dol
lars the same as they were twenty
years ago, have every reason to
believe that within the next six
years they would not only control
the trade Of this country, but they
would control the trade of Central
and South America.
viii they do it? They can IL
they will pull together. 1t lays in
their power to do it. EDMOND.
