Labor's Commission to Mexico.

The report of the commission of in
quiry sent to Mexico by the Chicago
Trade and Labor assembly to investi-
gate the social and Industrial conditions
that prevail under the silver standard
in that country was recently made pub
lie.
This commission consisted of Messrs.
Mas and Enright, members of the Chi
cago Trade and Labor assembly, who
were selected with no reference to any
predictions on the currency question
which they may have entertained.
The report is scathing and unan-
swerable arrangement of silver mono
metallism as a currency system. It is
staggering blow to the free silver prop.
uganda that seeks to deceive and be-
tray American labor. The revelations
it contains are singing rebuke to the
repudiationists who are endeavoring to
persuade American mechanics that
their condition can be improved by
Matchmaking our currency.
In the comforts and necessities of life
the Mexican laborers, according to the
heterogeneous VI 4uO6oI5s Iuado anu ILL
right, are down to the minimum, and
in no time in history could their condi-
ton have been more deplorable, or the
race would be extinct. Special stress is
laid on the significant fact that the
principal inducement offered capital to
invest in Mexico is the cheap native Ia
Dor to be found and the absence of all
danger of strikes. This fact alone should
be sufficient to impel American labor to
resist with all its mighty power the
attempts to Mexicanize our currency.
Under the silver standard in Mexico
labor is the cheapest commodity in the
country. In Mexico ''to don the raiment
of toll is to wear the garb of servility. :"

The Gold Doll ar Measured by Labor.

The Gold Doll ar Measured by Labor
n The proper test of the value of an ar
ticle is the labor required to produce it.
The test applies as we'll to the gold
dollar as to everything else.
g If less labor is required now to pro-
duce gold dollar than was required in
1860 or in 1S73-that is, if a given
amount of gold will purchase less labor,
or if, in other words, wages are higher
then by the labor test. the only gen.
uine test, the gold dollar must have
gone down instead of up.
And no silver advocate has attempted
to deny that wages have risen.
s The senate report on wages and prices
made in 1892 shows conclusively that
wages have increased over 68 per cent
since 1860 and nearly "a per cent since
1870-in gold.
The purchasing power of wages has
increased over rs per cent since 1860
and nearly 80 per cent since 1870.
The cost of gold. measured by labor,
has declined Al per cent since 1860 and
nearly % per cent since 1870.
Taking the cost of gold, measured by
labor. in 1860 as the standard of COM
parison, the cost Of gold from 1870 to
1891, the last year included in the AL
drich senate report, has declined as fol-
